In addition, the award funds will be used to support her research on the motor actions and cognitive processing of adults with cerebral palsy.<\/p>\n<p>Dario Dieguez, Ph.D., a spokesperson for the foundation, said &#8220;the pool of applicants for this opportunity was extremely competitive and Dr. Hoffman&#8217;s application was deemed among those having the most outstanding potential.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This award is a testament of Dr. Hoffman&#8217;s hard work over the first few years of her doctoral training and her knack for translational research,&#8221; said Max Kurz, Ph.D., associate professor of physical therapy and Dr. Hoffman&#8217;s Ph.D. adviser. &#8220;She is rapidly emerging as a leader in the field of physical therapy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am extremely honored and overwhelmed to be receiving such an important award from the Foundation for Physical Therapy,&#8221; Dr. Hoffman said. &#8220;Additionally, I am earnestly grateful for the recognition and support I have received for my Ph.D. studies at the Munroe-Meyer Institute.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Award is for most outstanding
