معرفی
Alka Bishnoi, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physical Therapy at Kean University's College of Health Professions and Human Services. Her research focuses on neurological rehabilitation, aging biomechanics, and motor control mechanisms during dual-task walking.
- Ph.D. in Kinesiology & Community Health (Neuroscience), University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
- M.S. in Rehabilitation Sciences, University of Illinois at Chicago
- M.S. in Exercise Physiology, Kent State University
- B.S. in Physical Therapy, University of Delhi
Dr. Bishnoi specializes in gait analysis, prefrontal cortical activation, and fall prevention strategies for older adults and neurological populations. Her work bridges clinical practice with biomechanical research, focusing on spatiotemporal gait parameters and brain-motor interactions.
Her publications demonstrate expertise in systematic reviews and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) applications. Key research trends include aging-related motor decline, neuroplasticity in rehabilitation, and evidence-based fall prevention techniques.
