Overview
Ada Tang is a physical therapist, Associate Professor and Assistant Dean (Rehabilitation Science) in the School of Rehabilitation Science.
Dr. Tang and the MacStroke Canada research team are focused on the impact of exercise on cardiovascular health, fitness, and function in people living with stroke and other conditions. Limited mobility following stroke can contribute to physical inactivity and sedentary behaviours, leading to higher risk for developing cardiovascular disease. Exercise and physical activity can help improve many cardiovascular risk factors and may be an effective strategy for primary and secondary prevention.
