Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Reed Handlery's research focuses on rehabilitation and physical activity, particularly for individuals who have experienced stroke or have Parkinson disease. He investigates methods to improve endurance and functional strength in stroke survivors, including integrating them into existing cardiac rehabilitation programs. His work also examines predictors of daily step counts in individuals one year post-stroke and explores the effects of treadmill exercise on physical activity levels in those with de novo Parkinson disease. Handlery has also conducted a scoping review on the predictive qualities of walking speed in older adults and a pilot study on the feasibility of integrating stroke survivors into cardiac rehabilitation. Additionally, he has surveyed physical therapists and students regarding strength training attitudes and knowledge, and explored factors contributing to physical therapist attrition. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 10, with 31 total publications and 217 total citations. He collaborates with Kaci Handlery, Dana Kahl, Allison Young, and LaVona Traywick, all from the University of Arkansas – Fort Smith.
