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
