Dr. Sahrmann, BSPT ’58, MA ’71, PhD ’73  was the first to propose that there is a human movement system—a physiological system that produces and supports move­ment of the body. In 2000, she published a seminal textbook on the subject, Diagnosis and Treatment of Movement Impairment Syndromes, that was translated into seven languages. A leader in her field, she has brought distinction to Washington University’s Program in Physical Therapy, ranked in the top 1 percent of physical therapy programs nationwide. As a co-chair of Our Washington: Together, We Make a Difference, the faculty and staff component of the university’s Leading Together campaign, Dr. Sahrmann is focused on a big goal: to further advance the university’s mission among those who know it best. She says that for the university to succeed, it must increase support for scholarships, fellowships, research, and pro­grams. Dr. Sahrmann has been investing in the School of Medicine for many years. She sponsors the annual Movement System Scholarship and several years ago estab­lished the Shirley A. Sahrmann Endowed Scholarship Fund, both in the Program in Physical Therapy. To help ensure the pro­gram’s success, she recently made an estate commitment for continued support of scholarships and a lectureship in physical therapy.
