Addressing Muscle Performance Deficits in Cerebral Palsy: Implications for Exercise Prescription Across the Lifespan

The Center for Rehabilitation and Independent Living (CRIL) will be hosting a research seminar led by Noelle Moreau, PT, Ph.D. Moreau is a full professor at the Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center in New Orleans. Moreau’s research focuses on the investigation of the neuromuscular mechanisms underlying abnormal muscle function and movement impairments in children with cerebral palsy, using techniques such as ultrasound imaging, dynamometry, and electromyography. She is currently the principal investigator of two, multi-site R01 clinical trials funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The overarching goal of Moreau’s research is the development of effective rehabilitation strategies to address neuromuscular impairments and improve activity, participation, and quality of life. She will be presenting on the current state of her work including new findings related to muscle performance in cerebral palsy.
