We recently updated our Comprehensive Anti-Racism Plan, which was initially conceived in mid-2020. Once created, we committed to re-assessing and re-focusing the plan based on our efforts the prior year. issuu.com/ostrowdentistr…

“The brain has a remarkable capacity for plasticity. Our aim at the Neuroplasticity and Imaging Laboratory (NAIL) is to discover and enhance the mechanisms underlying this capability in the context of rehabilitation and learning.” —Dr. Beth Fisher youtu.be/HCkBNdDPY8A

Research in Dr. Leech’s lab is focused on informing & developing comprehensive physical therapy interventions to reduce disability in older adults. Ongoing research projects are focused on reducing gait dysfunction in older adults with stroke. Learn more: youtu.be/FP04eQzbcNU

Dr. Sargent directs the Development of Infant Motor Performance Laboratory, dedicated to the study of motor control and motor learning during infancy and to the early identification and rehabilitation of infants at risk for neurodevelopmental disabilities youtu.be/Ef5NbrjhO1U

At the @motordevlab, Stacey Dusing & Kari Kretch plan to study the development of motor control in infants and young children with/without disabilities & investigate the impact of PT treatment on motor and cognitive development. Read more: tinyurl.com/uscmdl

Calling all PT researchers: Make sure your voice is heard! Deadline is Sunday.

Dr. Christopher Powers’ research and teaching interests relate to the biomechanical aspects of human movement. Specifically, his research focuses on how altered kinematics, kinetics and muscular actions contribute to lower-extremity injury. youtu.be/bbbqGfDBkuY
