Dr. On-Yee (Amy) Lo, Ph.D. is Assistant Scientist II at the Marcus Institute for Aging Research ( https://www.marcusinstituteforaging.org/who-we-are/profiles/yee-amy-lo-phd ) and Assistant Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center ( https://connects.catalyst.harvard.edu/Profiles/display/Person/147630 ).
Dr. Lo is a physical therapist and research scientist who aims to prevent functional decline and enhance functional independence for older adults with mobility impairments by conducting experimental and translational research. She has expertise and experience in physical therapy, biomechanics, neuroimaging, and neuromodulation.
Dr. Lo has dedicated her career to enhancing functional independence and quality of life in older adults. Her specific research objectives are:
- To investigate connections between the brain and body that enable safe navigation throughout daily environments.
- To innovate rehabilitative interventions that target these brain and body connections to preserve and restore the control of mobility.
- To implement the experimental findings into the clinical setting.
Dr. Lo’s clinical and scientific training in physical therapy, biomechanics, neurophysiology, neuroimaging, neuromodulation, and gerontology have enabled her to cultivate her passions in conducting translational research to help older adults walk and move safely in real life. She incorporates cognitive, brain, and movement sciences to understand the complex control of gait and mobility, and develop individualized, multi-modal, and patient-centered interventions that can both stand alone and be combined with current evidence-based geriatric rehabilitation programming to improve mobility and mitigate fall risks in older adults.
Dr. Lo has a Master of Arts (M.A.) in Pathokinesiology from New York University and a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.), Human Physiology from University of Oregon.
