Dr. Agmon is a physical therapist with a MA in anthropology and PhD in nursing from University of Washington. Her research focusses on the interacting effects of personal, environmental and task factors on gait and mobility throughout the aging process in different settings both in community and hospital. To this end, her research can be divided into personal, task and environment factors associated with gait deterioration during the aging process. For example, some insights into several personal factors that were largely overlooked in gait research, the effect of personality traits on mobility deterioration, the effect of cognition on mobility and its interaction with sleep quality; the effects of hearing on gait and the longitudinal effect of inflammation markers on mobility. To elucidate the effects of environmental factors on gait and functioning, she has investigated the common experiences of hospitalization on mobility of older adults supported by the Israeli Science Foundation (ISF). In the last five years she has led mobility associated data collection of more than 1000 participants in different settings; some of which involved long term data collection such as continuous glucose monitoring, step-count and sleep for two weeks. These data shed light on the aging process among different populations (e.g., Jews and Arabs) in Israel and can demonstrate health inequity through the life span.

Through my work with federal partners, I have supported the delivery, coordination, evaluation, and improvement of social development services across Guyana. In collaboration with state and local health departments, community-based organizations, and consumers, I help ensure that services address the needs of people at risk, while reducing or eliminating disparities in access to care and health outcomes. I utilize innovative approaches to disseminate information on prevention through health awareness activities, and existing NGOs and associations who work within these regions. To develop the competencies of individuals in human rights promotion and protection, conflict transformation, peace-building, reconciliation, and intercultural dialogue.
