Congratulations, Dr. Howland 👏

A peer-reviewed study by Dr. Chad Howland, Assistant Professor in the School of Physical Therapy, was recently published in the Journal of Manual and Manipulative Therapy.

The study, titled “Contemporary Perspectives in Teaching and Assessment of Thrust Joint Manipulation of the Spine or Pelvis in Entry-Level Doctor of Physical Therapy Programs,” looked at the curricula of nearly 300 accredited physical therapy education programs across the country.

“The hallmark of the study is that we interviewed faculty from other parts of the country to see what they considered to be entry-level competencies in thrust joint manipulation by the time students graduate,” said Howland.

Dr. Ben Sidaway, the Geneva Allen '49 Distinguished Professor in Health Sciences, recently achieved two career milestones. His study, “Beam walking increases gait velocity and reduces falls risk in older adults,” was published in the peer-reviewed journal Experimental Gerontology.

He was also invited to work on World Athletics' False Start Committee to help create a proposal to rework regulation on what is considered a false start in track and field events.
