Rehabilitation medicine and in primarily designing and investigating novel diagnostic tools and treatment protocols to optimise patient care and health-related quality of life post-injury.
Understanding neuromuscular adaptations in lower extremity injuries
Long term goal is to improve functional outcomes in patients such as balance or walking gait mechanics, and patient-reported outcomes
