Recovery and Rehabilitation Across the Lifespan
Cancer in Medicine, musculoskeletal disorders, cardiovascular diseases and mental and behavioural disorders are the leading causes of premature death and disability in Australia (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare 2014a).
Our programs of research focus on these prioritised action areas for the Australian population, and include development and evaluation of interventions for individuals recovering from trauma, major surgery, critical illness and mental health impairments; conservative management strategies for individuals with musculoskeletal dysfunction and sports injuries and for those with hearing impairments receiving cochlear implants and with speech and language disorders.
