PhD, Rush University
MPT, Medical College of Georgia
Chris Ferrigno, PT, PhD, is an associate professor in the Department of Anatomy & Cell Biology. He completed his doctoral training at Rush University in 2015, and subsequently joined the Rush faculty to pursue a postdoctoral fellowship with a concentration in biomechanics and to educate future health care practitioners. He teaches courses in gross anatomy and neurobiology for the medical, nursing, health sciences and graduate colleges at Rush. His clinical research interests are in the areas of knee osteoarthritis and gait analysis, specifically how the biomechanics of gait relate to this disease process. Using his clinical expertise as a physical therapist, he investigates conservative biomechanical interventions for osteoarthritis, and also how orthopedic implants affect the function following surgery.
