Lisa Doyle serves as Assistant Professor for the NH Doctor of Physical Therapy Program and Curriculum Committee Chair at Franklin Pierce University's College of Health & Natural Sciences. With over 15 years of clinical expertise in neurologic rehabilitation, she focuses on translating evidence-based practices into both patient care and educational settings.
Education:
- Transitional Doctor of Physical Therapy, Massachusetts General Hospital Institute of Health Professions
- Advanced Masters of Neurologic Physical Therapy, Massachusetts General Hospital Institute of Health Professions
- Bachelors of Physical Therapy, University of Lowell
Dr. Doyle's research centers on neurorehabilitation for complex neurological conditions, particularly Multiple Sclerosis and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. Her work explores spasticity management, respiratory interventions for non-ambulatory patients, oncology rehabilitation, and innovative caregiver education models. She integrates clinical expertise with educational innovation, examining how simulation-based learning impacts student preparedness for clinical practice.
Analysis of her 15 most recent publications reveals a strong focus on respiratory rehabilitation in advanced neurological conditions (60% of works), caregiver support systems (20%), and educational methodology (20%). Her research consistently bridges clinical practice with measurable functional outcomes, emphasizing patient-centered care across multiple sclerosis, ALS, and cancer rehabilitation contexts.
Scientific Awards:
- Labe C. Scheinberg Award from the Foundation of the Consortium of Multiple Sclerosis Centers for outstanding neurorehabilitation research
Dr. Doyle actively secures research funding, including a $40,000 National Multiple Sclerosis Association grant for her work on inspiratory muscle training. She mentors doctoral students through course instruction in foundational physical therapy, neurologic management, and multisystem patient care. Her service includes organizing the NH APTA student/early professional special interest group and developing caregiver wellness projects with the ALS Association of Northern New England.
Through collaborations with Massachusetts General Hospital and regional rehabilitation centers, Dr. Doyle maintains active clinical engagement while advancing neurorehabilitation science. Her teaching philosophy centers on compassionate, patient-focused care as the foundation for both clinical practice and educational development.
