Mary Ann
Holbein-Jenny, PhD, DPT Biosketch Dr. Holbein-Jenny joined the SRU GSPT faculty in 1995. She has been teaching the research curriculum since then and has guest lectured in ergonomics. Her background includes ergonomics, occupational biomechanics, human subject experimentation, research design and data analysis, and industrial engineering. She has worked in industry in engineering and as a consultant in ergonomics and occupational biomechanics. Her research expertise is in balance and stability modeling and she was a post-doctoral research fellow at the internationally known University of Michigan Center for Ergonomics where she pursued this research. More recently, she earned a DPT in order to enhance her teaching and better integrate clinical knowledge with her research interests. She currently directs the Motion Measurement & Analysis Laboratory. Dr. Holbein-Jenny has served as a manuscript reviewer for Ergonomics, IEEE Transactions on Rehabilitation Engineering and IEEE Computer Society.
