Biosketch
Simon Ho, DPT, CCS has clinical rehabilitation experience in managing patients with cardiovascular and pulmonary dysfunction. He is interested in respiratory physiology, particularly how diaphragm function affects the control of breathing during exercise. His current research focuses on understanding the mechanisms of exertional dyspnea.
Research/Clinical Keywords
