Biography

Basma Yacoubi, Ph.D., has been a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Applied Physiology & Kinesiology since 2019. Her work focuses on sensorimotor control deficits in individuals with neurological pathologies involving the cerebellum. She is interested in developing novel strategies for rehabilitation of motor control deficits using at-home solutions. She has a broad interest in variability and its functional significance in biological systems
