Research
Dan Ribeiro is a researcher interested in improving clinical outcomes for patients with musculoskeletal disorders.
The goal of his research is to develop and test novel treatment strategies for patients with musculoskeletal disorders through lab-based studies to clinical trials (including outcome and process evaluation studies).
His research programme focuses on understanding underlying mechanisms of musculoskeletal disorders and testing interventions for improving healthcare services.
Recent and current projects include:
- Shoulder disorders and rehabilitation
- Role of biofeedback on prevention and management strategies for musculoskeletal disorders
