Brooke N. Klatt is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physical Therapy at the University of Pittsburgh. She specializes in optimizing outcomes for individuals with chronic balance and vestibular disorders, integrating clinical practice with research. Klatt is a board-certified neurologic clinical specialist and collaborates with UPMC-Centers for Rehab Services in outpatient neurologic and vestibular clinics.
Her education includes a PhD from the University of Pittsburgh, a DPT from New York University, and a BS in Kinesiology from Penn State University. She completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Johns Hopkins University.
Klatt’s research focuses on vestibular rehabilitation, technology-driven exercise prescription, visuospatial cognition, and fall prevention in older adults. Her work emphasizes translating lab-based findings into clinical tools, such as GPS tracking for mobility assessment and tablet-based exercise monitoring systems like VestAid.
Her articles highlight interdisciplinary approaches to vestibular disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, and technology applications in rehabilitation. Key themes include improving patient outcomes through objective monitoring, addressing mobility limitations in aging populations, and developing evidence-based interventions for neurological conditions.
Klatt has no listed scientific awards or grants in the provided text. Her clinical and academic activities are centered at the Department of Physical Therapy, contributing to both educational programs and patient care initiatives.
