Collaborative Research Rounds Presented by: Connected Minds, HSPRI, and School of Rehabilitation Therapy
Integrating health and social care into naturally occurring retirement communities: Oasis Program
Presented by: Drs. Vincent DePaul and Catherine Donnelly
Dr. Vincent DePaul is an Assistant Professor in the School of Rehabilitation Therapy. His research focuses on the development, testing, and translation of interventions for the recovery of walking in individuals with stroke and other neurological conditions and in older adult populations. This work explicitly explores how individuals optimally learn and re-learn gait and balance-related skills; and how therapeutic strategies such as instruction, feedback, guidance, and supervised and unsupervised practice impact motor learning.
Dr. Catherine Donnelly is an associate professor at the School of Rehabilitation Therapy and the director of HSPRI. Her research is focused on team-based primary care, emphasizing understanding how interprofessional primary care teams can support older adults and individuals with chronic conditions to live in their neighbourhoods and communities. A key focus is working with Oasis Supportive Living (Oasis) - a program designed by older adults to support aging in the community.
