Dr. Dinesh Arun Kumbhare MD, MSc, FRCP (C)
Associate Clinical Professor, Medicine/Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and Rheumatology
My research involves projects carried out within the St. Joseph’s Centre for Acute Injury Rehabilitation and collaborative studies with researchers at other laboratories.
The main theme of my research is on the development of measurement methods for musculoskeletal injuries leading to methods of enhancing neuromuscular recovery.
