Prof. Dr. Deanna M. Kennedy is an Associate Professor in the Department of Kinesiology and Sport Management at Texas A&M University, where she directs the Neuromuscular Coordination Lab. Her research focuses on human motor control, neuromuscular coordination, and movement adaptations in neurological and healthy populations. Her work integrates electromyography, biomechanical assessments, and advanced signal processing techniques to investigate motor function and coordination under varying task and environmental demands. Her current research interests include Parkinson’s disease, equine-assisted interventions, altered-gravity environments, and bimanual coordination. In addition to laboratory-based research, she is actively involved in developing and evaluating community-based exercise and educational programs for individuals with Parkinson’s disease, emphasizing the translation of movement science into clinical and community settings.
