Jason Keith Longhurst

Dr. Longhurst is an Assistant Professor in the Departments of Physical Therapy and Athletic Training at Saint Louis University. He leads the Neuroimaging and Behavior Lab which studies the interaction between gait and postural control with cognition. His work focuses on understanding theses effects in the context of neurodegenerative disease, with a focus on Parkinson’s disease. This has led to several key focus areas of study including fear falling and activity restriction, community engagement and participation, and early identification of disease and syndromes. The Neuroimaging and Behavior Lab utilizes a variety of techniques ranging from measurement of mobile neuroimaging to biomechanical approaches.
