She is the author of multiple books for both the lay public and the professional.
The Elizabeth Noble award is the Section on Women's Health's highest honor, and is given to a member in good standing of the Section on Women's Health of the APTA providing extraordinary and exemplary service to the field of physical therapy for women, or to the Section on Women's Health of the American Physical Therapy Association. The award may be, but is not necessarily, presented on an annual basis.
