Biography & Research Interests

Dr. Moore is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physical Therapy at CSU, Sacramento. He obtained his BS in Neuroscience and Psychology from Allegheny College in 2004 and his DPT in Physical Therapy from Emory University in 2009. He completed his Residency in Neurologic Physical Therapy at the University of Southern California/Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center and obtained his Clinical Specialty Designation in Neurologic Physical Therapy in 2011. His areas of expertise include stroke and vestibular rehabilitation.

Dr. Moore’s research interests are based in his area of clinical practice in adult neurorehabilitation. He examines the effect of physical therapy intervention on outcomes for individuals with persistent symptoms and disability following concussion. He is also interested in investigating the reliability and validity of measurement tools used for individuals with vestibular dysfunction and how dosage and intensity influence recovery of functional walking capacity in individuals with chronic stroke.
