Dr. Lang is a Professor of Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Neurology, and Associate Director for the Movement Science PhD Program at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis MO, USA. She received physical therapy degrees from the University of Vermont in 1993 (BS) and 1997 (MS), her PhD in Movement Science from Washington University in 2001, and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Rochester between 2001 and 2004. Her accomplishments have earned her the title of fellow for both the American Society for NeuroRehabilitaiton (ASNR) and the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA).

Dr. Lang directs the Neurorehabilitation Research Laboratory where efforts are targeted toward the development of effective and efficient, individualized rehabilitation for people with stroke and other neurological conditions. Numerous studies have focused on characterizing neurobehavioral changes over the course of stroke recovery, developing new and optimizing current motor interventions, and improving clinical practice. More recent efforts in the lab are aimed at quantifying motor characteristics in infants and children with neurodevelopmental disorders. The interdisciplinary, interactive laboratory environment promotes collaborations within and outside the lab with engineers, scientists, and clinicians, resulting in a productive research program. She provides research training to PhD students, postdocs, and junior faculty members. Continuous funding from the NIH has supported her research efforts since 2005.
