She is currently Clinical Research Coordinator for the NIH randomized control trial, Locomotor Experience Applied Post-Stroke (LE APS ), a study of intervention intensity and timing and stroke severity on walking recovery, and is Principal Investigator of “Homeward Bound,” an investigation in partnership with an inpatient stroke rehabilitation program to examine the effectiveness of translating motor learning principles into clinical practice. Dr. Rose teaches neurologic rehabilitation in the physical therapy curriculum at the University of Florida and serves on the Research Committee for the Florida Chapter of the APTA.

She brings a wealth of expertise and innovative treatment plans for successfully working with the complex older adult patients. With her unique background of basic science, clinical experience, and experience developing continuity of care models with the community, she developed an exercise-based falls prevention intervention that is resulting in improved performance on cognitive and physical performance.
