Lucas Van Horn

Lucas Van Horn serves as a Lecturer in the Department of Health and Human Performance at Norwich University's College of Arts & Sciences, contactable via lvanhorn@norwich.edu or (802) 485-2733.

His educational background includes a Ph.D. in Human Functioning & Rehabilitation Science from the University of Vermont (in progress), an M.S. in Exercise Science from West Chester University, and a B.S. in Exercise Science and Biology from Shippensburg University.

Van Horn's research centers on mild traumatic brain injuries and concussions, specifically investigating cascading effects on posture, movement, and vision synchronization post-injury. He emphasizes classroom communication and active mentorship of student-led undergraduate research projects.

His recent publications (2019-2021) demonstrate interdisciplinary work spanning rehabilitation science, exercise physiology, and public health, addressing persistent postural perceptual dizziness diagnostics, exercise-cognition interactions, and traumatic brain injury epidemiology in student populations.

He teaches core courses including Kinesiology (HHPR 365), Applications of Exercise Testing and Prescription (HHPR 404), and Applications of Exercise Science (HHPR 202), while actively guiding undergraduate research in health sciences.
