Dr. Amanda Herrmann is a Research Investigator at the HealthPartners Institute Neuroscience Research Center and an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine at the University of Minnesota. She earned her doctorate in Health and Rehabilitation Science from the Medical University of South Carolina, as well as her master’s and bachelor’s degrees in Kinesiology from the University of Minnesota.
Dr. Herrmann’s passion for research is deeply personal, stemming from her experience supporting family members with Parkinson’s disease. This inspired her to pursue a career focused on improving treatments for individuals with neurological disorders. She leads and contributes to research aimed at enhancing the use of evidence-based practices in rehabilitation and advancing our understanding of managing neurological conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, traumatic brain injury, and spinal cord injury. Her primary research interest is in exploring complementary and integrative health approaches, with the belief that a holistic, integrated care model can significantly improve the quality of life for individuals living with neurological disorders.
