Personal profile

Research interests

My research interests have focused on older adults following neurologic and orthopedic injuries using a biopsychological perspective to examine rehabilitation outcomes issues, especially involving positive psychological factors. My research has especially involved participants with hip fracture and total hip replacement. While initially I focused on geriatric rehabilitation, in recent years I have focused on participation in occupation, environmental factors and quality of life among general population. I especially have focused on daily occupations patterns, occupational disruption in daily occupations, and the relationship with optimism, and positive affect during COVID-19 lockdown in Israel.

These days I am intending to explore personal, occupational, and environmental factors and their impact on glycemic control among Diabetes mellitus type 2 patients. My vision for the future is to develop and evaluate Occupational therapy interventions for enhancing s glycemic control and control chronic diseases.
