Liraz Arie, PhD, PT, graduated in 2024 from NYU with a PhD in Physical Therapy, where she studied dual-task costs in walking for individuals with bilateral hearing loss under the supervision of Dr. Anat Lubetzky. She graduated in 2016 from Tel Aviv University with an MSc in Physical Therapy, where she conducted a study on differences in the deterioration of balance, gait, and cognitive function between Parkinson's disease subtypes under the supervision of Prof. Jeffrey M. Hausdorff. 

She has extensive experience in sports rehabilitation and research, having worked as a senior physical therapist in Israel. She holds several professional certifications, including Pilates and Yoga instruction.

Dr. Arie's long-term research goal is to explore the interaction between motor control and cognitive processes, contributing to the development of interventions for fall risk assessment, prevention, and rehabilitation in aging adults and patients with neurological disorders.

  • Interaction between motor control and cognitive processes
  • Fall risk
