Arweinydd Effaith, Arloesi a Menter a Phrif Gymrawd Ymchwil (Darllenydd)
Arweinydd Hyfforddiant Craidd Academaidd, Partneriaeth Hyfforddiant Doethurol GW4 BioMed2 MRC
Trosolwyg
Mae fy ymchwil yn eistedd ar groesffordd gwyddoniaeth symud, technoleg ddigidol, ac adsefydlu clinigol - gydag un nod clir: trosi tystiolaeth biomecanyddol yn offer ac ymyriadau sy'n gwneud gwahaniaeth diriaethol i gleifion mewn lleoliadau byd go iawn. Fel Sylfaenydd ac Arweinydd y Grŵp Ymchwil SPIN (Sensor Physiotherapy INtervention), rwy'n arwain rhaglen sy'n cwmpasu dilysu synhwyrydd gwisgadwy, dadansoddi symudiadau clinigol, bioadborth rhith-realiti, asesu tasg ddeuol, a chyflwyno treialon ar hap, gyda chyflyrau coesau isaf cyhyrysgerbydol - yn enwedig poen pen-glin (e.e. osteoarthritis) - fel y prif ffocws clinigol.
Mae gen i benodiad Prif Gymrawd Ymchwil (Darllenydd) yn yr Ysgol Gwyddorau Gofal Iechyd ym Mhrifysgol Caerdydd ac rwy'n ymgysylltu'n weithredol â chymunedau clinigol, academaidd a diwydiant. Rwy'n croesawu dulliau ar gyfer cydweithio, ymgynghoriaeth, sylwebaeth arbenigol, a chyfnewid gwybodaeth.
Y GRŴP YMCHWIL SPIN
Mae'r Grŵp Ymchwil SPIN (a sefydlwyd yn 2018) yn grŵp ymchwil biomecaneg clinigol pwrpasol o fewn yr Ysgol Gwyddorau Gofal Iechyd. Mae SPIN yn cynnal ei seilwaith offeryniaeth ei hun (system dal cynnig cludadwy, unedau mesur anadweithiol, systemau electromyography arwyneb, technoleg insole pwysau di-wifr, llwyfannau blaen, a llwyfannau realiti rhithwir) gan ddarparu gallu ymchwil hunangynhwysol sy'n rhychwantu'r biblinell lawn o asesu symudiad hyd at ddarparu adsefydlu.
Mae SPIN yn grŵp wedi'i rwydweithio'n rhyngwladol gyda chydweithrediadau gweithredol gyda darparwyr technoleg biomecaneg blaenllaw: Movella (Xsens gynt, yr Iseldiroedd), Delsys (DU), XSENSOR Technology Corporation (Canada), ac Euleria Health (Yr Eidal). Mae partneriaethau academaidd yn ymestyn i'r Eidal, Gwlad yr Iorddonen, Saudi Arabia, Twrci, Awstralia, Japan, ac ar draws Cymru a Lloegr. Pwrpas diffiniol y grŵp yw cyfieithu gwyddoniaeth biomecaneg glinigol i leoliadau bywyd go iawn a budd cleifion amlwg - gan weithredu fel prif amgylchedd yr Ysgol ar gyfer gwyddoniaeth symudiad cymhwysol ac ymchwil adsefydlu wedi'i alluogi gan dechnoleg.
Mae SPIN yn amgylchedd ymchwil cynhwysol ac amrywiol. Rydym yn croesawu ymchwilwyr, myfyrwyr a chlinigwyr o bob cefndir, camau gyrfa, cenedligrwydd a disgyblaeth. Mae cyfleoedd lleoliad ymchwil ar gael drwy gydol y flwyddyn i fyfyrwyr israddedig ac ôl-raddedig, gweithwyr proffesiynol clinigol, ac ymchwilwyr gwadd o sefydliadau'r DU a rhyngwladol. Mae amrywiaeth cefndir a persbectif yn rhan annatod o ansawdd a chyrhaeddiad ein gwaith.
RHAGLEN YMCHWIL
Mae'r rhaglen ymchwil SPIN yn mynd i'r afael â thri chwestiwn rhyng-gysylltiedig, pob un yn cynrychioli cam mewn piblinell gyfieithu bwriadol:
- Sut mae pobl â chyflyrau aelodau isaf yn symud yn wahanol a sut y gellir mesur hyn yn ddibynadwy y tu allan i'r labordy dan reolaeth/arbenigol? Mae'r rhaglen wedi dilysu a heb restru llwyfannau synhwyrydd gwisgadwy lluosog (e.e. IMU, EMG, gwadnau pwysau) ar gyfer dadansoddi symudiadau clinigol, datblygu fframweithiau adrodd cinematig safonol a fabwysiadwyd gan gydweithwyr clinigol, a chynhyrchu'r system MoJoXlab ffynhonnell agored i wneud dadansoddiad symudiad yn hygyrch yn rhyngwladol heb meddalwedd perchnogol.
- Beth sy'n digwydd i symudiad pan mae'n rhaid i bobl feddwl hefyd? Mae ymchwil ar berfformiad tasg ddeuol (gwybyddol-modur) (sut mae gofynion gwybyddol ar y pryd yn tarfu ar gerdded a chydbwysedd) wedi datgelu gwendidau clinigol ystyrlon mewn pobl â chyflyrau fel poen pen-glin y mae asesiadau un dasg yn eu colli yn rheolaidd. Mae'r wyddoniaeth hon yn llywio'n uniongyrchol system biofeedback SPIN-VR, sy'n defnyddio rhith-realiti i gyflwyno heriau symud sydd ar yr un pryd yn gorfforol a gwybyddol.
- A all system realiti rhithwir gartref wella canlyniadau adsefydlu yn ystyrlon? Mae SPIN-VR bellach yn cael ei werthuso mewn treial dichonoldeb ar hap a ariennir gan Arthritis UK (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT06639867), penllanw degawd o wyddoniaeth drosi, o arsylwi labordy hyd at dreial clinigol cofrestredig a gynhaliwyd yng nghartrefi cleifion eu hunain.
YMCHWIL YN Y CYFRYNGAU
Mae'r rhaglen ymchwil SPIN wedi denu diddordeb parhaus yn y cyfryngau cenedlaethol a rhyngwladol. Mae'r darllediadau yn cynnwys ITV News a BBC Radio Wales (ar realiti rhithwir mewn adsefydlu), Cyfathrebu Prifysgol Caerdydd, a phapur newydd Al Ra'i (Gwlad yr Iorddonen). Cyrhaeddodd fideo proffil ymchwil Prifysgol Caerdydd dros 15,000 o argraffiadau Twitter a 3,300 o ymweliadau YouTube; sgwrs Ignite Cardiff Deluxe yn 2017 oedd y trydydd fideo a wyliwyd fwyaf ar sianel Ignite Cardiff.

Ymchwil
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.

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.
