david e. Krebs, dPt, Phd
We include this dedication in profound honor and in memory of David E. Krebs because he
was an integral part of the first three editions of this book; because of his illustrious career
and accomplishments; and because we wanted him to know that we remain very apprecia-
tive of him and in awe of his many accomplishments. We prepared this dedication and
shared it with him, via his family, in 2013, several months before he died, on February 7,
2014. He was 57.
In late June 2009, David had a fall at his home that left him unable to continue
his illustrious professional career. However, he is still being honored for his 30-plus years
of work in the physical therapy field, and his students and colleagues have continued his
important work and contributions. His loving family continued to remain close with him
and were dedicated to his welfare and happiness.
David’s curriculum vitae is long and very impressive. We put it, along with other infor-
mation about him, at www.marksschwartzphd.com. His obituary is at http://hosting-24864.
tributes.com/obituary/show/david-e-krebs-99398993.
For those readers who did not know about David and his career, we include the fol-
lowing summary:
David E. Krebs received his BS in Physical Therapy in 1977 and MA in Applied
Physiology in 1979 from Columbia University, his PhD in Pathokinesiology and Physical
Therapy in 1986 from New York University, and his DPT in 2002 from the MGH Institute
of Health Professions.
In 1983, he agreed to write a major chapter for the first edition of Biofeedback: A Prac-
titioner’s Guide (published in 1987). Although this was very early in his career, it was appar-
ent that his accomplishments would be legendary. We have been fortunate and grateful
that he agreed to join the first edition and remained a contributor to this book throughout
his career.
v
He became Professor of Physical Therapy and Clinical Investigation at the MGH
Institute of Health Professions and Director of Massachusetts General Hospital’s Biomo-
tion Laboratory. He also held academic appointments in Orthopaedics at Harvard Medi-
cal School and in Mechanical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
David had more than 300 publications and was awarded more than $5 million as principal
investigator on federal (National Institutes of Health, National Institute on Disability and
Rehabilitation Research) and foundation research grants, primarily in the area of neural
and biomechanical constraints of human locomotor control.
He was the featured speaker at the 12th annual Eugene Michels Research Forum of
the American Physical Therapy Association and received the Association’s 2003 Helen J.
Hislop Award for Outstanding Contributions to Professional Literature, its 1998 Marian
Williams Award for Research in Physical Therapy, and its 1994 Golden Pen Award for
Scientific Writing.
We are very proud to continue to have David’s name and chapter, for which he was the
original author and major contributor, included in this book. Thank you, Dave, from the
many professionals and patients who forever are very respectful of and very grateful to you.
For the information about David E. Krebs’s career and other documents about his life,
we are indebted to his family and to Timothy Fagerson, DPT, his former student and coau-
thor. They all helped in the review and editing of this dedication.
