Congratulations to Bev Larssen, a student in the combined MPT/PhD program, for being the recipient of the 2021 KKG Foundation of Canada Scholarship. As a recipient of this award, Bev has made significant contributions in rehabilitation therapy for stroke survivors.
Bev’s research investigates the mechanisms and neuroanatomy that support motor learning/re-learning during physical rehabilitation using error amplification techniques.
As a physiotherapist and neuroscientist, Bev engages in knowledge translation both clinically and in research. Her most recent activities include supporting clinical education through the mentorship of physiotherapy students in the UBC Department of Physical Therapy as well as facilitating knowledge translation opportunities for local stroke recovery researchers in her current role as Chair of the BC Stroke Network.
