Shailesh Gardas, MS, PT

I am pursuing PhD (Rehabilitation Sciences) under the mentorship of Dr. Surkar. I am currently working on quantifying the dose of Hand Arm Bimanual Intensive Therapy (HABIT) and assessing the long-term retention of HABIT in children with unilateral cerebral palsy (UCP) using wearable technology. I am also contributing to the ongoing clinical trials within the PeARL specifically using a novel priming agent remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) combined with intensive training such as HABIT, strength, gait training.
