Fisayo Aloba, DPT (she/her/hers)

PhD Graduate Researcher
Emory University, United States

Dr. Fisayo Aloba received her BS in Medical Rehabilitation (Physiotherapy) from Obafemi Awolowo University, Nigeria, then received her Master’s in Physical Therapy from MGH Institute of Health Professions in Boston, Massachusetts and her Doctor of Physical Therapy from Texas Tech University HSC School of Health Professions.

With over 11 years of experience in Physical Therapy practice, education and research, Dr. Aloba has actively garnered her rehabilitation skills across all settings- home health, outpatient, inpatient rehab, and acute care; however, for the last 5 years she has progressively trained and practiced in acute care practice with concentrations in intensive care (ICU) and critical care (CCU) neuro units. Dr. Aloba is an APTA certified Level I and II clinical Instructor. She is also an active member of the Georgia APTA.

Dr. Aloba is currently a doctoral candidate in the Neuroscience Graduate Program at Emory University. Her research focuses on the use of novel spatial-motor techniques to treat spatial-neglect and gait deficits post-stroke. To do this, she uses different combinatorial approaches of prism adaptation therapy and electrical stimulation to treat; and use Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) to detect biomarkers for targeted stroke treatments. Her research is supported by an NIH T32 Ruth L. Kirschstein Institutional National Research Service Award (NRSA) (2021-22) and NIH NINDS F31 Ruth L. Kirschstein Individual National Research Service Award (NRSA) (2023-26).
