Research
My research encompasses quantitative and qualitative domains and focuses on management and outcomes of musculoskeletal conditions. My research interests include:
- The role of patient education and self-management for patients with persistent shoulder pain (rotator cuff related shoulder pain)
- Management and outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction
- Patient’s experiences of rehabilitation, and fear of re-injury following shoulder and ACL injuries
- Role of footwear as a potential risk for lower limb injury
- Clinical reasoning skills for physiotherapists
