Researchers at the laboratory currently and in the past
Head of the laboratory - Prof. Sara Rosenblum
I am a full professor and head of the laboratory of Complex Human Activity and Participation (CHAP), with a special interest in the characteristics of human daily function.
I aim to gain better insight into interactions between varied body functions (e.g., cognitive, motor, sensory), activity performance and participation abilities of people faced with functional deficits in everyday life. A main emphasis is placed on trying to identify people’s daily functional trivial needs in order to develop standardized evaluation tools to capture it as well as intervention methods for better health and well -being. My studies are focusing on varied populations who need support to maximize their daily functional effectives for better health such as the aging population and those who are faced with neurodevelopmental and neurological diseases. More than 60 MA and PhD students conducted their studies at the CHAP laboratory under my supervision. One hundred and thirty papers were published in high ranking quality peer-reviewed journals. Grants were achieved for about 3.000.000 NIS.
