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.

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.
The research team:
- Prof Robert van Deursen
- Dr Paulien Roos
- Dr Kate Button

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.
