About

Dr. Kyle M.A. Thompson is a researcher whose work bridges the fields of biomechanics, sports science, and bariatric surgery, demonstrating a rare versatility in applied human performance and clinical outcomes. His most notable contribution is the development and validation of a novel isokinetic dynamometer constructed using a 1080 Quantum, a study that has garnered 17 citations. This work critically assessed the reliability and comparability of two custom-built dynamometers against the gold-standard Humac Norm, offering a cost-effective, accessible alternative for strength assessment in research and rehabilitation settings. More recently, Dr. Thompson has ventured into surgical outcomes research, co-authoring a 2025 study on robotic single anastomosis duodenal-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (SADI-S). This work, though newly published, provides crucial data on adverse outcomes compared to gastric sleeve and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, informing clinical decision-making at a high-volume bariatric center. By combining rigorous methodological testing with clinically relevant surgical analysis, Dr. Thompson’s work impacts both how we measure human strength and how we evaluate emerging metabolic procedures.
