Overview Dr. Christiansen is a Professor in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, Physical Therapy Program. His research focuses on applying rehabilitation science to optimize functional movement outcomes for older adults with a variety of health conditions, with a particular focus on lower-limb amputation. Other clinical research areas for Dr. Christiansen include exercise and physical activity for people with Parkinson disease and total joint arthroplasty. He teaches within the Doctor of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Science programs, with expertise in Movement Science.
