Department of Physical Therapy and Assistive Technology

Department of Physical Therapy and Assistive Technology

The Department of Physical Therapy was established in 1988, initially named the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine. The department evolved from a small Rehabilitation Medicine department admitting only twenty-five students per year to the establishment of a physical therapy department, the establishment of a graduate institute, the subsequent merger with the Institute of Rehabilitation Technology and Assistive Devices, and later the establishment of a doctoral program.
