Mary Jane Myslinski‚ PT ‚ EdD
 Dr.
Myslinski received a BS degree in Physical Therapy from Boston University

in 1982‚ an EdM in 1989 and an EdD in 1995 in applied physiology
from Columbia University. She is Associate Professor in the Department
of Developmental and Rehabilitation Sciences.
Dr. Myslinski’s research focuses on the effects of aerobic
and anaerobic exercise on the functional and physiologic variables
in patients with chronic disease. Underlying mechanisms for specific
changes are also studied i.e. heart variability. Currently the focus
is on patients with multiple sclerosis. This research is conducted
in the Aerobic Fitness Center located in the Physical Therapy program
at UMDNJ. Students are able to work with patients with multiple
sclerosis during their training sessions and obtain "hands–on"
experience in developing both clinical and research skills.
Dr. Myslinski serves on the Board of Trustees for the Mid–Jersey
MS Society.
Dr. Myslinski’s areas of teaching encompass applied physiology
