Lou is a physical therapist-scientist with training in neurorehabilitation, biomechanics, wearable sensors, and rehabilitation robotics. His research spans the translation continuum and includes studies focused on discovery and evaluation of rehabilitation interventions and technology. As the founding director of the Neuromotor Recovery Laboratory at Boston University, he leads a cross-disciplinary research group of clinicians, movement scientists, exercise physiologists, and engineers that studies movement dysfunction across the clinical, biomechanical, and physiological levels of impairment. The principal aim of his research is to generate foundational knowledge that informs the development of hypothesis-driven rehabilitation programs. His research group also takes an active role in the development of innovative rehabilitation technology, with the goal of leveraging these advances to enhance the diagnosis and treatment of neurologically-based locomotor dysfunction.
