Topics

I am looking to recruit a doctoral student to continue research in the area of StartReact for neurorehabilitation of arm movements in stroke survivors, and explore the possibility of developing a neurorehabilitation program using this paradigm (see more information under Research link).

I have supervised a number of different doctoral research topics in the past, but more generally, I am interested in topics which can potentially lead to the development of new rehabilitation interventions for movement disabilities with primary neural origin. A selection of topics supervised previously is below:

Vestibular Rehabilitation for improvement of balance in Parkinson's Disease (PhD reseracher - Mr Ardavan Iravani Naeeni)

Muscle response to exercise in Cerebral Palsy (Jessica Davis)

Use of Alternate Motor Fibres in stroke rehabilitation (Mara DeLuca)

Acute effect of dynamic stretching on ankle joint mechanics and running economy (George Pamboris)

Muscle and tendon mechanical propertiese in spastic Cerebral Palsy (Nicola Theis)
