Recovering From Stroke - How Physical Therapy & Neuroscience are Advancing Care

The intersection of stroke rehabilitation & neuroscience research is transforming our understanding of the brain and recovery after a stroke.

Catherine Lang, PT, PhD, Barbara J Norton Professor of Physical Therapy, Professor of Neurology and Occupational Therapy, and Associate Director of the Movement Science Program at the University of Washington in St. Louis, shares expert insights into stroke therapy, the challenges of regaining motor function, and how personal and environmental factors impact rehabilitation outcomes. Dr. Lang is a WashU graduate who completed her postdoctoral studies in a neuroscience lab at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry. She shares how the education and mentorship she received played a role in the mentor she is today. She also gives insight into how growing up in rural Vermont influenced her interest in movement.
