Great! MASBI study – Mobility and Activity after Severe Brain Injury has been funded by Lifetime Support Authority. Detailed evaluation of people not walking one month post-brain injury. Recruitment to start soon! Central Adelaide UniSA Flinders University #severestroke #braininjury



Big congrats to PhD Candidate Matt Wingfield for winning the SSA New Investigator Rehab & Recovery Award for presentation 🤩 Capturing the Neuroscience Drivers of Upper-Limb Motor Recovery Post-Stroke: An International Qualitative Study of Perspectives from Bench to Bedside


Great presentation from Dr Michelle Kahn showing successful delivery of physiotherapy during post-traumatic amnesia after #braininjury, at 2023 IGNITE conference Australian Physiotherapy Association



📢Discover the effects of physical recreation for adults with physical or intellectual disabilities in this comprehensive #SystematicReview with meta-analysis What are the next steps?👣 👉Check out the study here:bit.ly/47Y8dLX Leanne Hassett @venisakwok Prof Cathie Sherrington


Our SR has shown that, to date, there are no rigorously developed toolkits promoting physical activity in people with chronic conditions (as recommended by the WHO in 2003!). tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… Prof Lucy Lewis Flinders Caring Futures Institute Sally Vuu

Thanks Barby Singer and A Neuro Physio Podcast. Barby it may be that serial casting has fallen away. The complex cases with the really severe issues have the biggest gaps in evidence, and the skill mix is a huge challenge for clinicians, particularly to address issues early. #braininjury


Delighted that our new publication is online: detailed description of team-based rehab after mild traumatic brain injury, triage to discharge, including core principles of care. tandfonline.com/eprint/GXQPUAB… Central Adelaide Flinders University #rehab #concussion #mTBI

Thrilled to be part of this international #collaboration on #PhysicalActivity after stroke 🧠 Fabulous work led by Cristina de Diego Alonso 🔎👩🏫👩⚕️🧠🏃♀️ 👏👏👏 Check out our systematic review 📄 just out in Disability & Health Journal 👇


Impaired postural alignment is common in people with severe mobility impairment in #neurorehab. This is an important aspect of biomechanics for clinical attention. Our new paper just published! Download link: tandfonline.com/eprint/ARUYMRE… Central Adelaide UniSA Uni of Adelaide

Falls in hospital -reduce by working with patients on their mobility rather than reducing mobility! Catherine Said (she/her) Adam Semciw @MegPhysio Dr Jacqueline Francis-Coad British Geriatrics Society UWA School of Allied Health RPH Research Foundation MARC David Oliver (also on Blue Sky) id

We have become very good at increasing survival after stroke - now we need strategies (in the NHS) to promote lifelong thriving after stroke Stroke Association National Institute for Health and Care Research Medical Research Council Wellcome The National Brain Appeal Brain Research UK


Well done Dr Mark McGlinchey et al. It is crucial that we improve how we prepare our workforce to assist patients with more dependence after stroke, particularly when physio is not present. Research to compare models of entry level training will be helpful.

MASBI research project: Mobility and Activity after Severe Brain Injury has hit its target – 100 participants! 12 months of data coming for people non-ambulant at one month post-ABI, thanks to LSA funding. Central Adelaide UniSA Flinders University #severestroke #braininjury

Congratulations Jack Beard on the first paper of your PhD!
