Dr Annie Palermo (PT, DPT, PhD) completed her clinical (2015) and academic doctorates (2020) in Physical Therapy at the University of Miami and the Miami Project to Cure Paralysis. She has clinical experience in acute care and has research experience in the field of Spinal Cord Injury including work in respiratory function, seated balance, blood pressure control, and physio-based interventions after or in conjunction with cell-based and neuromodulatory therapies. Annie is currently involved with trials assessing the impact of abdominal functional electrical stimulation on blood pressure, respiration, and bowel function post-SCI. She plans to further investigate the effect of inspiratory muscle training and abdominal functional electrical stimulation on these factors and seated balance.
