Postdoctoral Fellowship in Movement Science Visit the Program in Physical Therapy website for more information about the Movement Science Program.
The Movement Science Program encourages collaboration with other departments within the School of Medicine. Under the Movement Science Program, students work on the research topics that interest them while completing course work that prepares them for their research careers. We offer physical therapy research training programs designed to prepare students at the doctoral and postdoctoral levels for careers in groundbreaking physical therapy research. Simulated spaces for functional activities The facility includes numerous private rooms for clinical interventions and state-of-the-art equipment. The Movement Science Research Center is approximately 13,000 square feet of newly renovated space that provides a collaborative environment for faculty, PhD students and postdoctoral fellows to conduct rehabilitation research.

Hardware & Software Design for Rehabilitation Research Research Areas Research Area/Faculty Investigators Research Area Our doctoral and postdoctoral Research Training Programs prepare students for careers at the forefront of physical therapy and movement science research. We pursue knowledge in a collaborative work environment within the Movement Science Research Center. Our research is supported by millions of dollars in federal, private foundation and university funding. Our interdisciplinary scientific endeavors include mechanistic and translational investigations at all levels of organization, from the cell to society. The mission of the Research Division is to understand how the movement system is affected by disease, injury, lifestyle, development and aging and to understand how movement can be used to promote health by enhancing physical function, activity and participation across the lifespan. Our vision is aligned with the vision of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), which is to "transform society by optimizing movement to improve the human experience."

Our program has pioneered the development of movement-focused physical therapy education, research and treatment. Movement science is the study of the movement system, and we believe physical therapists are the world's movement system experts. This system consists of physiological organ systems that interact to produce and support the movement of the body and its parts. The human movement system is at the core of our approach to physical therapy education, research and patient care. The Program in Physical Therapy has pioneered a unique, movement-based approach to physical therapy. The Program in Physical Therapy at the School of Medicine offers two formal curricula that collectively foster opportunities for lifelong learning and comprehensive career development: the Doctor of Physical Therapy and the PhD in Movement Science.
The Program in Physical Therapy is committed to providing students with excellent scientific and clinical education in an environment that strives to continually lead the industry in practice, research, innovation and advocacy of movement health. Practicing in a variety of settings, physical therapists diagnose and treat movement dysfunction in patients with skill, competence and compassion. Physical therapy is the science of human movement applied to rehabilitation, injury, fitness, injury prevention and overall health.
