However, multimodal approaches can be fraught with complex interactions, and the influenceof exercise and usedependent plasticity bearparticular consideration. Since exercise and training are essential components ofrehabilitation,prior to undertaking a large trial,it is important may interact with other interventions as mediators, moderators, confounders, and/or covariates. Beyond the selection of interventionsthere are choices to be made in the selection of outcome measures, and todayechnology offers a myriad of approaches for capturing change associated with experimental interventions. Yet, despite the dazzle of techbased measures, clinical populations they are intended to representplace greater value on more mundane functionbased measures. umerous study designsare availablethat can offer importantinsights into the interactions that are inherent in multimodal rehabilitation research, and capture meaningful change. In her role the Director of SCI Research at Shepherd Center, Dr. Fieldto improving motor function in persons with SCI through the development of neuro modulation and neurorehabilitation approaches informed by the latest neuroscience researchand guided by outcomes that have meaning for persons with SCI. Her contributions to the SCI literature include the largest study to date of locomotor training for persons with chronic, motorincomplete SCI, and the firstin persons with tetraplegia. With a clinical background as a physical therapist and PhD training in apreclinical model of SCI, her 20+ years of SCI research has spanned the breadth of basic and clinical research related to SCI. Dr. FieldFote currently serves on the NIH National Advisory Board on Medical RehabilitationResearch, and her work has been funded by the NIH since 1997; other projects in her lab are funded by the Department of Defense, and the National Institute on Independent Living Disability and Rehabilitation Research. Dr. FieldFote is the editor/author of the textbook Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation (FA Davis Publishers), she currently serves as EditorChief of the Journal of Neurologic Physical Therapy, and as Project Director of the Southeastern Regional Spinal Cord Injury Model System.
