Teaching interests
I currently teach on the MSc in Neurological Rehabilitation at the Schools of Health Professions. I am the lead for the "Cognition, perception and behaviour" module and contribute "sensorimotor control in neurologcal practice" and "pathomechanics and rehabilitation of gait and balance".
I also contribute to the undergraduate physiotherapy program "Neurological Physiotherapy" module
Research
Research
Research interests
My research interests and experience are in the field of neurorehabilitation and human motor physiology. I am currently investigating the pathophysiology and rehabilitation of balance and gait disorders after central and peripheral neurological lesions in adult and paediatric populations. The primary aim of my current research is to identify the cause of balance and gait impairments after neurological dysfunction and to evaluate the efficacy of therapeutic interventions that aim to ameliorate these impairments.
