Sharing research from UBC to Japan!
The highlight of my time at UBC was conducting research on a novel rehabilitation strategy to alleviate the walking asymmetry that people suffer after stroke. This research is important because walking asymmetry leads to impaired balance and increased falls. I presented my findings at UBC MURC and was elated to be recognized as Top Oral Presenter. I was chosen to represent UBC at the Universitas21 Undergraduate Research Conference in Japan to showcase my research at the international level.
