Trosolwyg

My research interests are Virtual Reality based Rehabilitation and Movement Analysis. My ultimate ambition is to translate the research into real-world applications such that the impact of the research could be measured through benefits to users (patients and clinical staff). I am a member of a team of researchers who are evaluating of biomechanics strategies used by patients with Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injuries during functional tasks and implications for treatment. I contribute in developing and testing whether the novel virtual reality technology can help to ameliorate the ACL condition.

Addysgu

I teach Research Methods and Health Improvement in Health and Social Care (HCT118_16A) at MSc level covering issues related to research dissemination and critical appraisal. I also teach the practical part of the Clinical Kinaesiology and Tissue Pathology (HCT226) at MSc level.

I supervise MSc students on the dissertations module. Current MSc project titles:

  • Effects of a Concurrent Working Memory Task on Gait Performance in Healthy Adults.
  • Effects of an Augmented Cognitive Inhabitation Task on Temporal-Spatial gait Parameters in Healthy Adults.

2013 to 2016: I have successfully supervised and co-supervised 6 MSc students. Dissertation titles include:

  • The Differences in Knee Kinetic and Kinematic Movement Patterns between Performing a Lunge Exercise and a Lunge Whilst Performing a Dual-Task.
  • The dual task effect of conversating while walking on gait spatiotemporal parameters in healthy young adults.
  • Biomechanical Assessment of Walking in Healthy Adults during Obstacles Negotiation.
  • The Effect of Dual-Task on Walking in Young Adults.
  • The Effect of Sloped Surfaces on Motor Control of Gait in Healthy Young Adults Using the Grail System.
  • Development of a Social Rehabilitation Application.

Bywgraffiad

I obtained my PhD in Rehabilitation Engineering from the Centre for Biomedical Engineering at University of Surrey. During my PhD studies, I have had considerable research experience in several biomedical engineering fields including Virtual Rehabilitation and Clinical Movement Analysis. This allowed the development of the Surrey Virtual Rehabilitation System (SVRS) that is considered appropriate for gait rehabilitation protocols. As part of the SVRS I developed the Real-time Treadmill Speed Control Algorithm that makes augmented treadmill training feasible.
