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.

The rehabilitation enhancing aging through connected health (REACH) study: study protocol for a quasi-experimental clinical trial
(2017-09-20)BACKGROUND: Mobility limitations among older adults increase the risk for disability and healthcare utilization. Rehabilitative care is identified as the most efficacious treatment for maintaining physical function. However, ... -
Effectiveness of an inpatient movement disorders program for patients with atypical parkinsonism
(2012)This paper investigated the effectiveness of an inpatient movement disorders program for patients with atypical parkinsonism, who typically respond poorly to pharmacologic intervention and are challenging to rehabilitate ... -
Charting the progression of disability in Parkinson disease: study protocol for a prospective longitudinal cohort study
(2010-11-03)BACKGROUND: People with Parkinson disease (PD), even in the presence of symptomatic relief from medical, surgical, and rehabilitative interventions, face a persistent worsening of disability. This disability is characterized ... -
Denervation-induced activation of the standard proteasome and immunoproteasome
(2016)The standard 26S proteasome is responsible for the majority of myofibrillar protein degradation leading to muscle atrophy. The immunoproteasome is an inducible form of the proteasome. While its function has been linked to ... -
C57BL/6 life span study: age-related declines in muscle power production and contractile velocity
(2015-06)Quantification of key outcome measures in animal models of aging is an important step preceding intervention testing. One such measurement, skeletal muscle power generation (force * velocity), is critical for dynamic ... -
Denervation-induced activation of the ubiquitin-proteasome system reduces skeletal muscle quantity not quality
(2016)It is well known that the ubiquitin-proteasome system is activated in response to skeletal muscle wasting and functions to degrade contractile proteins. The loss of these proteins inevitably reduces skeletal muscle size ... -
Effects of additional anterior body mass on gait
(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 ... -
Identifying candidates for targeted gait rehabilitation: better prediction through biomechanics-informed characterization
(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. ...
