Lisa M. Muratori, PT, EdD Professor Phone: 631-444-6583 |
Dr. Muratori received a BS from Fairfield University in Biology, a BA in Physical Therapy from Stony Brook University and an EdD from the Department of Biobehavioral Science at Teachers College, Columbia University.
Dr. Muratori has extensive clinical experience in school and hospital-based facilities focusing on treatment of individuals with neurological deficits. Currently, she teaches in the Doctorate in Physical Therapy Program of Stony Brook University in the areas of motor learning, motor control and in the Evidence Based Practice course sequence.
Dr. Muratori’s research interests include cognitive motor interference and dual task interventions for people with neurological disease or injury, visual-motor coordination, and sensorimotor input for postural control in healthy individuals and individuals with movement disorders. Dr. Muratori is currently engaged in studies examining duel task training in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD), Huntington's disease (HD) and multiple sclerosis and assessing visual perception in PD and HD. In addition, Dr. Muratori collaborates on multiple projects examining the development of novel technologies for improving health outcomes in PD and is working with the Department of Mechanical Engineering through an NSF grant to develop adaptive equipment for children with special needs in Suffolk County.
Outside of work, Dr. Muratori has spent the past twenty years volunteering with the Adaptive Sports Foundation, teaching skiing to people with a wide range neurological movement disorders through sport. As a member of several working groups in national and international organizations, Dr. Muratori uses her research background and clinical skills to help form policy and practice among physical therapists treating patients with HD and PD. She is also active with international medical outreach programs and local community-based social programs in her Manhattan neighborhood. Dr. Muratori continues to find ways to merge her research, clinical, and personal interests to build a career centered on improving function and quality of life for individuals with mobility impairments.
