Lise C. Worthen-Chaudhari (she/her/hers)

Assistant Professor
The Ohio State University
Columbus, OH, United States

Lise Worthen-Chaudhari, PhD, MFA, MS, CMES connects biomechanics to practical healthcare solutions at The Ohio State University’s (OSU) Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R). Seeking to drive recovery for adults with neurotrauma and/or neurotoxicity, such as chemotherapy-induced neuropathy, Worthen-Chaudhari leverages her deep experience in both biomechanics and the arts to improve neurorehabilitation. She applies creatively engaged activity paradigms, such as partnered dance and interactive art, to stimulate the injured nervous system, evaluating effect through a combination of biomechanical, patient-reported, and clinical outcomes. Currently, her work is funded by the National Institute on Aging (NIA).
A former contemporary dancer for Company Chaddick, SF, CA, currently Worthen-Chaudhari is an Assistant Professor in OSU’s Department of PM&R. She is the Director of Dodd Hall's NeuroArtsRx Laboratory and a faculty affiliate of OSU's Cancer Control Program and Chronic Brain Injury Discovery Theme initiative. Worthen-Chaudhari has served in leadership roles for the American Society of Biomechanics (Program Committee) and The American College of Rehabilitation Medicine (founding member of the Arts & Neuroscience Networking group) and teaches within OSU’s School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences.
