Effects of Power Training combined with interval treadmill training on walking capacity versus performance in real world settings in youth with cerebral palsy.
AACPDM 2025 sneak peak!
Dr. Noelle G. Moreau, is the Associate Dean of Research and Professor of Physical Therapy at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center in New Orleans. Dr Moreau is best known for her work regarding the neuromuscular mechanisms underlying movement impairments in children with neurological conditions like cerebral palsy with her research focusing on innovative interventions to enhance gait and function, including power training for ambulatory youth.
Marissa and I loved this conversation - so many great take homes and opportunities for implementation right now. This work shines a light on the importance of task specificity not just for motor learning but also walking capacity training. The selection of training protocols based on assessment outcomes is fantastic - Noelle describes this beautifully.
Once again, this work is yet to be published but was not just presented as a contender for the Gayle G Arnold Award at the AACPDM New Orleans Conference in 2025 - but as we have recently learnt - won the award!
Congratulations to Dr Noelle Moreau and her team for receiving this very prestigious award from the Academy.
