About Rehabilitation & Ageing, PhD - at University of Nottingham

Rehabilitation aims to lessen the impact of disease and disability on everyday life and to assist people in reaching their fullest potential. It is required for conditions which deteriorate just as much as for those which improve.

The focus of this multidisciplinary group is on the rehabilitation process among adults with any kind of impairment and those in later life. Our research aims to provide the evidence upon which health and social care interventions can be based, to reduce the impact of injury and disease on the lives of people with physical and learning disabilities and their families.

Current research themes include:

stroke rehabilitation including dressing, long term care, evaluation of behavioural approaches to improve mood, and the evaluation of STEM cells to achieve functional recovery after stroke, community rehabilitation and studies related to the assessment of need

transport and mobility - work relating to driving competence, and in promoting mobility when driving is impossible

falls and postural stability

vocational rehabilitation

chronic fatigue syndrome

rehabilitation interventions in neuromuscular disease

organisation of services for people with long term neurological disease

technology and equipment, including work based at the Derby Assistive Technology Evaluation Centre (ATEC)

learning disabilities research, in particular research into systems of care and transitions between services, as well as a growing programme of research, with computer scientists, on the use of virtual environments in rehabilitation.
