Great to present at #IGNITE2023 Australian Physiotherapy Association on findings from next study in my PhD: Self reported symptoms in people with Functional Gait Disorders. Fantastic to see FND have its own session at the conference, and loved hearing Dharsha and Lauren present their research 🙌🏽


It's a wrap. Thanks to all UoM physiotherapy department staff and students who attended and presented helping to make it such a great coference #ignite2023 Australian Physiotherapy Association



Hot off the press! Recognizing that the treatment of #FND should be individualized, we explored our approach to the nebulous process of triaging patients with #FMD to rehabilitation. 🧵 1/8 Sarah Lidstone, MD PhD Integrated Movement Disorders Program (IMDP) HaseelBhattPT Functional Neurological Disorder Society …mentdisorders.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/md…

The Physio4FMD trial has been published in @LancetNeuro today. This study is the culmination of over 10 years of work from many collaborators. In this thread I will summarise this work and our findings. Jon Stone Louise Marston Rachael Maree Hunter thelancet.com/journals/laneu…

Amazing talk from Glenn Nielsen on such a high quality RCT. Primary outcome suggests improvement in non-specialist physiotherapy, although the people treated found greatest improvement with specialist treatment #FNDS2024





📃Excited to share our protocol paper on the first study exploring #psilocybin and #motor function in healthy participants. This informs its research application in #FND and related #neuropsychiatry disorders. Glenn Nielsen Sara Issak @drjrucker psychiatryonline.org/doi/10.1176/ap…
