Dr. Kevin Chui and colleagues receive the 2018 Excellence in Geriatric Research Award

At the American Physical Therapy Association’s recent Combined Sections Meeting in New Orleans, Dr. Kevin Chui and a group of colleagues received the 2018 Excellence in Geriatric Research Award from the Academy of Geriatric Physical Therapy.

Last year, Dr. Chui and a group of colleagues from across the US published an open-access  systematic review  on determining risk of falls in community dwelling older adults in the Journal of Geriatric Physical Therapy. The original announcement was posted on Feb. 24, 2017.

The Research Committee of the Academy of Geriatric Physical Therapy evaluates nominated papers for “… clarity of writing, applicability of content to clinical geriatric physical therapy, relevance of results, and potential impact on both physical therapy and other disciplines.”
