OverviewAI-generated summary
Bernard Austin Kigunda Muriithi is an Assistant Professor of Occupational Therapy whose research focuses on occupational disruption, resilience, and performance challenges. His work investigates the impact of events like COVID-19 lockdowns on individual health and well-being, examining which occupations are significant predictors of health outcomes during such disruptions. Muriithi has also explored the lived experiences of refugee musicians, identifying factors that enable their musical performance despite facing considerable barriers. He has developed and validated the Occupational Resilience Measure (ORM 1.0), a novel multidimensional assessment tool with potential applications in occupational therapy practice. His research further examines the occupational performance challenges faced by homeless adults and the activity priorities for this population, drawing insights from staff and management at transitional housing facilities. Muriithi collaborates with researchers Jennifer Muriithi from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville and Kara Gore from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
