Ryan Hubble

Ryan Hubble, PhD is an Assistant Professor in the Public & Allied Health Sciences department at Delaware State University. His research focuses on wearable sensor technology for evaluating motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease and the efficacy of exercise modalities to improve balance and gait symmetry in affected populations. He holds a PhD in Human Movement Science from Australian Catholic University (2017) with prior degrees in Biomechanics (Ball State University, 2012) and Kinesiology (Wesley College, 2010).

Education:

• PhD in Human Movement Science, Australian Catholic University (2012-2017)
• M.S. in Biomechanics, Ball State University (2010-2012)
• B.S. in Kinesiology, Wesley College (2006-2010)

Research Interests: Wearable sensor technology integration in clinical assessment, biomechanical analysis of Parkinson's-related motor impairments, and exercise interventions targeting trunk stability and gait asymmetry. His work emphasizes translating biomechanical findings into actionable clinical strategies.

Publications: Dr. Hubble has published extensively in journals like Journal of Neurologic Physical Therapy and Gait & Posture, focusing on topics such as trunk exercise efficacy, vibration therapy effects, and wearable sensor applications in Parkinson's disease evaluation. His research demonstrates a trajectory toward improving diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic interventions in movement disorders.

Professional Activities: Serves as manuscript reviewer for Plos ONE, Gait and Posture, and other journals since 2015. Active in professional organizations promoting biomechanical and neurorehabilitation research.
