The Department of Physical Therapy and Athletic Training at BU Sargent College is dedicated to promoting the health of all people and the rehabilitation of people with injury or disease. Our programs combine a strong foundation in basic sciences with the applied sciences in movement disorders and an emphasis on clinical experience, Our distinctive interdisciplinary, evidence-based approach combines challenging coursework, real-world research opportunities, custom-tailored clinical placements, and the opportunity to collaborate with faculty who are leaders in their fields.

Effects of additional anterior body mass on gait

Gill, Simone V.; Ogamba, Maureen; Lewis, Cara L. (2016-05-10)

BACKGROUND: Gradual increases in mass such as during pregnancy are associated with changes in gait at natural velocities. The purpose of this study was to examine how added mass at natural and imposed slow walking velocities ...
Assisting paretic ankle motion with a soft exosuit can reduce whole-body compensatory gait patterns and improve walking efficiency for patients after stroke

Bae, Jaehyun; Awad, Louis N.; O Donnell, Kathleen; Hendron, Kathryn L.; Allen, Stephen; Ellis, Theresa; De Rossi, Stefano M.M.; Holt, Ken G.; Walsh, Conor (2017)
Soft wearable robots can reduce the energy cost of poststroke walking: a proof-of-concept study

Awad, Louis N.; Bae, Jaehyun; De Rossi, Stefano Marco Maria; O'Donnell, Kathleen; Hendron, Kathryn L.; Allen, Stephen; Holt, Kenneth G.; Ellis, Terry D.; Walsh, Conor J. (2016-02-25)
Identifying candidates for targeted gait rehabilitation: better prediction through biomechanics-informed characterization

Awad, Louis N.; Reisman, Darcy S.; Binder-Macleod, Stuart A. (2017)

BACKGROUND: Walking speed has been used to predict the efficacy of gait training; however, poststroke motor impairments are heterogeneous and different biomechanical strategies may underlie the same walking speed. ...
Unilateral ankle assisting soft robotic exosuit can improve post-stroke gait during overground walking

Sloot, Lizeth H.; Hejrati, Babak; Kudzia, Pawel; Bae, Jaehyun; Hendron, Katy; O Donnell, Kathleen; Holt, Kenneth G.; Ellis, Terry; Awad, Louis N.; Walsh, Conor J. (2017)
Soft wearable robots can increase walking speed and distance after stroke: Proof-of-concept

Awad, Louis N.; Bae, Jaehyun; O'Donnell, Kathleen; Hendron, Katy; Kudzia, Pawel; Zurawski, Erica; Holt, Ken G.; Ellis, Terry D.; Walsh, Conor J. (2017)
Soft exosuits increase walking speed and distance after stroke

Awad, Louis N.; Bae, Jaehyun; O Donnell, Kathleen; Hendron, Kathryn L.; Sloot, Lizeth; Ellis, Terry D.; Siviy, Christopher; Kudzia, Pawel; Walsh, Conor J. (2017)

Exosuit-induced improvements in walking after stroke: comprehensive analysis on gait energetics and biomechanics

Bae, J.; Awad, Louis N.; Siviy, C.; O'Donnell, K.; Ellis, T.D.; Walsh, C.J. (2017-11-06)

Outstanding Poster Presentation Finalist
A uni-lateral soft exosuit for the paretic ankle can reduce gait compensations in patients post-stroke

Kudzia, Pawel; Bae, Jaehyun; Awad, Louis N.; Long, Andrew; Sloot, Lizeth H.; Hendron, Kathryn; Holt, Kenneth G.; O'Donnell, Kathleen; Ellis, Terry; Walsh, Conor J. (2017)
Identifying candidates for targeted gait rehabilitation after stroke: better prediction through biomechanics-informed characterization

Awad, Louis N.; Reisman, Darcy S.; Pohlig, Ryan T.; Binder-Macleod, Stuart A. (BioMed Central, 2016-09-23)

BACKGROUND: Walking speed has been used to predict the efficacy of gait training; however, poststroke motor impairments are heterogeneous and different biomechanical strategies may underlie the same walking speed. Identifying ...
