I have a specific interest in the development of exercise therapeutics in neurodegenerative conditions and extensive knowledge of the development and evaluation of complex interventions applied to neurodegeneration. I am interested more widely in the assessment and management of mobility problems and falls, methodologies for appropriate assessment of outcomes in complex health conditions and promotion of physical activity for health (along with behaviour change applications). I am currently developing and validating novel functional assessment methods and technologies to support patient monitoring to good clinical practice standards for application in ‘first-in-man’ clinical trials of ES derived stem cells in HD. I am a reviewer for a range of international peer reviewed journals in the field. I am also a member of the Scientific and Bioethics Advisory Committee (SBAC) of the European Huntington's Disease Network (EHDN) and the EHDN Physiotherapy working group. My ORCID-ID is 0000-0002-5331-5909.

My research has mainly focused on developing evidence and guidelines for targeted physical interventions in Huntington's disease (HD) and Parkinson's disease (PD). Such interventions are complex, and involve many components. It is therefore essential that the main "active components" within the intervention are defined and benefits evaluated in terms of relevant outcomes. We have adopted the Medical Research Council (MRC) Framework for design and evaluating complex interventions to provide a structure that should ultimately lead to full scale, robust controlled clinical trials.

Working closely with people with HD and their families as part of the research process is very important to us. We established the Wales HD Involving People Group in 2010 (now BRAIN Involve) with a view to ensuring that our work is always relevant and applicable to the needs of the HD community. We have successfully conducted and published data from the first randomised and controlled multi-centre studies investigating different physiotherapy and exercise interventions for HD (MOVE TO EXERCISE, TRAIN-HD and COMMET-HD). This work has led to further funding for exercise intervention trials related in HD (ENGAGE-HD and ExERT-HD). The growing recognition of the importance of physical activity and mobility in HD is further evidenced by the FP-7 funded programme of work being conducted in REPAIR-HD (http://www.repair-hd.eu/) where I am a principle investigator along with a consortia of researchers based in Germany, France and Italy. I am also a principle investigator in the Wales BRAIN Unit where I lead the patient monitoring and patient and public involvement work-packages.
