Overview
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.

Bibliographic
Publications listed below are automatically derived from MEDLINE/PubMed and other sources, which might result in incorrect or missing publications. Faculty can login to make corrections and additions.

PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
