Interview with Rini Varghese, physical therapist from India, PhD from the University of Southern California where her dissertation work investigated arm use and non-use, specifically bimanual arm use and motor control, and ipsilesional deficits post-stroke. She has published several articles on these topics with her doctoral advisor, Carolee Winstein. She is currently a postdoctoral research fellow with Amy Bastian at Johns Hopkins University and Kennedy Krieger Institute.
