ANPT Inspirational Conversation with Dr. Anne Shumway-Cook – short version


Listen Later

This interview of Dr. Anne Shumway-Cook was conducted in 2012. This was the

inaugural podcast of Inspirational Conversations, a series of interviews,
produced by the Historian Committee of the Academy of Neurologic Physical
Therapy.

Few individuals have the sustained and tangible accomplishments that have

truly impacted the profession of physical therapy as Dr. Shumway-Cook. For over
25 yrs, she has advanced our understanding of the physiologic basis for
abnormalities in balance and postural control. She has used her research and
scholarly activities to always address real clinical problems. This body of
work has influenced physical therapy provided to individuals with cerebral
palsy, Down’s syndrome, Parkinson’s disease, vestibular disorders, as well as
those at risk for falls. Her 2 books written in collaboration with Dr. Marjorie
Woollacott are used in physical therapy educational programs across the U.S.
and the world. Many of us probably have one of books on our professional
bookshelves, either The Development of posture and gait across the life span,
or Translating Research into Clinical Practice. Her collaborative research
publications – which include over 65 manuscripts and 17 Book chapters – have
produced some of the seminal work in balance and postural control.

Joining the interview were: Kathy Sullivan, PT, PhD, FAHA, Associate

Professor of Clinical Physical Therapy at Univ of Southern California and
former president of the Academy of Neurologic Physical Therapy and Teresa
Jacobson Kimberley, PT, PhD – Associate Professor at Univ of Minn and Director
of Research for the Academy of Neurologic Physical Therapy. Teresa was
instrumental in establishing the Anne Shumway-Cooke Translating
Neurorehabilitation Research to Practice Lectureship at CSM in 2011.

It was truly an honor to have Dr. Shumway-Cooke share with us remembrances about her career and her thoughts about the PT profession.
