Diana Glendinning, Ph.D.

Associate Professor
Department of Physical Therapy

I am an Associate professor in the Department of Physical Therapy in the School of Health and Medical Sciences. My Master's degree is in Physical Therapy (Boston University), and my Ph.D. is in Neuroscience (University of Florida). My teaching areas include Motor Control, Neuroscience, and Research Design.

The focus of my research has been in the area of sensory and motor systems for fine motor control in healthy and Parkinson's disease populations. My current research examines respiratory patterns that accompany discrete movements of the trunk. I have received grant funding from NIH, NIMH, and the American Parkinson's Disease Association. My publication record includes 10 publications in peer-reviewed Neuroscience and Physical Therapy journals. Currently I am writing a book on Research Methods for Pre-health and Health Professionals.
