Powers, PT, PhD, FAPTA, the 57th McMillan Lecturer, is a professor and associate chair in the Division of Biokinesiology and Physical Therapy at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, California. Dr Powers is internationally recognized for his expertise and leadership in human movement science, and his research has advanced our understanding of lower-extremity biomechanics and their role in musculoskeletal injury. His work has shaped evidence-based approaches to preventing and treating knee pain and sports-related injuries. He has authored more than 230 peer-reviewed publications that have been cited more than 30,000 times, underscoring the broad impact of his scholarship across rehabilitation science, sports medicine, and orthopedics. His research contributions have been recognized with multiple awards from APTA. His sustained leadership and service to the profession are equally notable. Dr. Powers has received service awards from both APTA and the California Physical Therapy Association, reflecting his long-standing commitment to advancing physical therapy through organizational leadership and professional advocacy. He has served as the president of the California chapter of the APTA and as president of the Academy of Physical Therapy Research. He currently serves as vice president of the Foundation for Physical Therapy Research, where he continues to champion the profession\u2019s scientific research and its translation into improved patient care.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/ptj\/pzag086","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,11]],"date-time":"2026-08-11T11:39:44Z","timestamp":1786448384000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Movement matters: the path to professional impact"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"106","author":[{"given":"Christopher M","family":"Powers","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Biokinesiology & Physical Therapy, University of Southern California , Los Angeles, CA 90089-9006, United States"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026092508211227800_ref1","volume-title":"Vision Statement for the Physical Therapy Profession (HOD P06\u201313\u201318-22)","author":"American Physical Therapy Association"},{"key":"2026092508211227800_ref2","volume-title":"History of Medicare Conversion Factors","author":"American Medical Association"},{"key":"2026092508211227800_ref3","volume-title":"A Physical Therapy Profile: Incomes in the Profession","author":"American Physical Therapy Association","year":"2025"},{"issue":"5","key":"2026092508211227800_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"pzaf037","DOI":"10.1093\/ptj\/pzaf037","article-title":"Empowering graduates: strategies and recommendations for student loan forgiveness and repayment solutions in physical therapist education","volume":"105","author":"Mischke","year":"2025","journal-title":"Phys Ther"},{"issue":"3","key":"2026092508211227800_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"183","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jphys.2018.05.009","article-title":"Physiotherapy education is a good financial investment, up to a certain level of student debt: an inter-professional economic analysis","volume":"64","author":"Shields","year":"2018","journal-title":"J Physiother"},{"issue":"10","key":"2026092508211227800_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1069","DOI":"10.1093\/ptj\/55.10.1069","article-title":"Tenth Mary McMillian lecture: the not-so-impossible dream","volume":"55","author":"Hislop","year":"1975","journal-title":"Phys Ther"},{"issue":"11","key":"2026092508211227800_ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1208","DOI":"10.1093\/ptj\/78.11.1208","article-title":"Moving precisely?
