Research

Physical therapy students in functional anatomy class.

The Department of Physical Therapy offers a research program that spans the translational spectrum. We seek progressive answers to human disease and dysfunction, from molecular signaling in skeletal muscle to robotic-assisted training following stroke. If you’re a prospective or current student looking to enhance your graduate experience, explore some of the resources available to you once you become a Gator!

Dale Ginder, 8,  who suffers from Duchenne muscular dystrophy is tested by Donovan Lott, Ph.D., a research assistant professor in the department of physical therapy, on a Biodex machine in Gainesville, Fla., on Friday, May 14, 2010. Duchenne muscular dystrophy is an inherited disorder that involves rapidly-worsening muscle weakness and leads to increased disability. The disease currently has no cure. / Photo by Casey Brooke Lawson
