Dr. Thompson’s scholarly agenda is focused to the investigation of postural control and fall risk in mature and aging community dwelling adults, with and without neurologic disorder, to determine underlying aspects and mechanisms, Investigation of fall risk is utilized clinical, posturographic and inertial measurement tools. She is a contributing author in Umphred’s Neurologic Rehabilitation textbook (5,6,7th editions), co-author of the chapter on the Limbic System. She has presented her collaborative scholarly work, along with faculty-led student research projects, both at the state and national levels in PT, ATC, Geriatrics and Neurosciences.
