About Physiotherapy (Research), PhD - at University of Nottingham

Staff have a variety of research interests that can be concentrated into three main areas.

Movement Analysis: the Human Performance Laboratory is well equipped to analyse many aspects of human movement. It contains dual-force plates linked to a three-dimensional CODA analysis system, electromyography and isokinetic dynamometry. Current research focuses on the analysis of sit-to-stand in relation to falls, and sit-to-walk, analysing forces and balance in subjects with knee pain, and the gait of children with cerebral palsy.

Chronic Pain: we welcome applications for research into the management of chronic pain, both from the electro-physical modalities and the cognitive behavioural aspects.

Mobility and Disability in Chronic Disease and the Elderly: ongoing research includes balance and other therapeutic interventions in patients with long-term disease processes (vascular amputations, Parkinson's Disease, falls in the elderly) and management of problems associated with fibromyalgia.

We also welcome research into other areas of physiotherapy practice.
