We are a multidisciplinary group of researchers, clinicians, and lecturers, including occupational therapists, physiotherapists, and colleagues from allied disciplines. Our work is underpinned by a shared commitment to occupational science, a field concerned with understanding and evidencing the relationships between people’s everyday occupations and their health and wellbeing.
We conduct high-quality, health-related, occupation-centred research that advances the occupational science evidence base, informs theoretical development, and translates knowledge into clinical and practice contexts. Our research addresses real-world challenges in health and social care, supporting the development, implementation, and evaluation of occupational therapy interventions across diverse populations and settings.
Together we have been involved in the successful development, validation and implementation of novel clinical outcome measurements such as:
- Gait analysis based on single inertial measurement units to monitor gait abnormalities with potential diagnostic power
- Physical Activity measurements and data analysis suitable for adolescents, adults and those with clinical conditions
- Rhythmic stepping outcomes for the identification of motor problems in children
