Our primary programme is focused on the restoration of motor control and functional ability after stroke. Projects span the range of clinical research from translational research to definitive clinical trials.
We also have growing research programmes in the areas of:
Epilepsy and postural control
Gait initiation difficulty in older people
Exercise interventions for older people with physical frailty

| Other information |
Our rehabilitation research laboratories enable biomechanical and neurophysiological measures of the effectiveness and underlying mechanisms of rehabilitation interventions. In collaboration with other research groups we also undertake neuroimaging studies.
We encourage informal enquiries from trainees who are interested in involvement in a research project, undertaking a research project for a Masters degree or registering for a research degree.
