Education

  • Ph.D. in Physical Therapy for Pediatrics, July 2011

  • M.Sc. in Physical Therapy for Pediatrics, April 2007

  • B.Sc. in Physical Therapy, May 2001

Research Interests

  • My research involves children with neuromotor, musculoskeletal, or cardiopulmonary disorders and their families. I have engaged in interdisciplinary research conducted in settings where children live and receive physical rehabilitation services. Research with colleagues at PSAU/Cairo University led to the creation and development of rehabilitative protocols for children with cerebral palsy, brachial plexus birth injury, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, bronchial asthma, obesity, and others. My research is focused on physical rehabilitation and community participation of children and adolescents with physical disabilities and transition to adulthood.
