Don’t miss it! Sykes Family Chair in Pediatric Physical Therapy, Pediatric Health and Development Stacey Dusing delivers the John H.P. Maley Lecture on July 23 at 4 p.m. PDT. You can livestream the speech at bit.ly/MaleyLecture. Congratulations, Dr. Dusing! @MotorDevLab
We, at the USC Division of Biokinesiology and Physical Therapy, stand in solidarity with @presidentfolt in our disappointment with this SCOTUS ruling and maintain our commitment to providing a diverse, equitable learning space for individuals from all backgrounds.
🏄🏽♂️🏄🏼♀️ Surf's up, chronic pain sufferers! Find out how we're exploring the ways in which surfing might help alleviate chronic pain. Thanks for the mention, @PresidentFolt!
Fun research from @JJKutch and @USCBKNPT on the ultimate SoCal therapy: surfing. A great reason to get out on the water.

I'll be at CSM if anyone is intertested in chatting about @USCBKNPT search- looking for faculty with
teaching expertise in foundational sciences (anatomy, physiology, neuroscience, electrophys) and strong scholarship. usccareers.usc.edu/job/los-a…
In this retrospective, multisite study, we found considerable variability across sites in the percentage of patients who received PT. This study provides valuable insight about PT treatment for patients with COVID admitted to ICU across the United States.
