Projects

The IFOMPT Cervical Framework aids evidence-based clinical reasoning in cervical spine presentation. This project explored the value of the Framework to inform clinical reasoning in entry level and postgraduate physiotherapy students.

This project will use information from a comprehensive multidimensional assessment to predict future outcomes (pain and disability) in people with persistent neck and low back pain.

This project will use information from a multidimensional assessment to identify mechanism-based subgroups of persistent low back pain, for targeting with best treatment.

This systematic review will identify all surveys and physical measures that are used to measure physical functioning in people who have low back surgery. It will also assess the validity, reliabiilty and responsiveness to change of physical measures of physical functioning.

The IFOMPT framework can support health care professionals who are working with cervical musculoskeletal conditions by supporting early identification of vascular pathologies, ensuring the best possible outcome for patient.

This program of research is intended to better understand the complex biological, psychological, and social interactions that can make a person more resistant or more vulnerable to chronic pain after recent injury.

This line of research aims to better understand the experience of pain through multi-domain evaluation and interpretation of patient experiences.

This systematic review is trying to better understand how recovery has been defined in measured with patients with low back pain and if the perspectives of patients has been included.

After a car crash, some people experience neck pain. This study will explore and characterize psychological, physiological, and psychophysical reactions to a virtual reality-based car crash simulation to identify characteristics of reactive and resilient people.
