Dr. Kringle directs the Disability and WELLness (DWELL) Laboratory, where her research program focuses on health promotion among adults with disabilities and neurological disorders. She integrates her expertise in rehabilitation science, occupational therapy, behavioral medicine, and community-engaged research to develop novel behavioral and social interventions. Her research program focuses on enabling adults with disabilities to engage in the personally meaningful activities that comprise physically and socially active lifestyles. She is particularly interested in promoting health among adults with stroke and other neurological disabilities and rural-dwelling adults with disabilities.
Her current research is funded by NIH through the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute. This research focuses on adapting a behavioral activation-based intervention designed to reduce post-stroke sedentary behavior through engagement in meaningful daily activities for remote delivery using videoconferencing. This research also examines the impact of sedentary behavior and activity engagement within stroke survivor-support person dyads.
