Summary of Research Interests
Jonathan's research interests are based around the relatively new concept of exergaming – the use of computer gaming technology as an exercise or rehabilitation tool. Through the completion of his PhD, these interests have extended out to clinical groups; specifically, people with Multiple Sclerosis.
Specifically, these include:
- Exergaming
- Virtual rehabilitation
- Exercise in Multiple Sclerosis
- Balance Training
