Dr. Quincy J. Almeida is the Director of the Parkinson's & Neurodegenerative Disease Program at Carespace Health & Wellness and founder of the Movement Disorders Research & Rehabilitation Centre (MDRC) at Wilfrid Laurier University. He is recognized as a global expert in movement science and rehabilitation for Parkinson's disease.
His research focuses on neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Parkinson's, with emphasis on motor-cognitive interactions, functional brain connectivity, and gait disorders. Recent work explores the integration of exercise, cognitive training, and vitamin D supplementation to address mild cognitive impairment and aging-related neurodegeneration.
Key publication trends include clinical trials (SYNERGIC, SYNERGIC@Home), EEG-based biomarkers for freezing of gait, and dual-task gait analysis in Lewy body diseases. His work bridges neuroscience, geriatrics, and rehabilitation methodologies.
Dr. Almeida serves as an Associate Editor for Neurodegeneration (Frontiers in Neuroscience) and Movement Science (Frontiers in Psychology). He has contributed to 144 publications and maintains an active research network across Canada, Portugal, Brazil, and China.
