Diddordebau Ymchwil
Fy mhrif ffocws ymchwil yw ymchwilio i anhwylderau'r asgwrn cefn, poen a chamweithrediad yn ystod symudiad swyddogaethol. Mae hyn yn cynnwys: rheolaeth niwrogyhyrol, anghydbwysedd cyhyrau, dirywiad disg, osteoarthritis asgwrn cefn, camweithrediad rheoli modur a biomecaneg i ddeall mecanweithiau poen sylfaenol yn well ac i lywio strategaethau adsefydlu ac atal effeithiol. Mae gen i ddiddordeb hefyd mewn rheoli ac atal anhwylderau a lles cyhyrysgerbydol yn y gweithlu, gyda phrosiectau cyfredol yn archwilio anafiadau cyhyrysgerbydol mewn poblogaethau perthynol i iechyd a cherddorion.
Prosiectau cyfredol a blaenorol
Fflworosgopi y cefn - sefydlu protocolau i ddelweddu cynnig deinamig, asgwrn cefn (gan weithio ar y cyd â Phrifysgol Bournemouth, yr Ysgol Peirianneg (Prifysgol Caerdydd) a chlinigwyr. Ariannwyd gan Back-to-Back (Ymchwilydd Prinicipal)
WISH (Arolwg Dirnadaeth y Gweithlu ar gyfer Iechyd) - a ariennir gan GW4, mewn cydweithrediad â Phrifysgolion Caerwysg a Chaerfaddon, i ddatblygu arolwg newydd i ddeall iechyd a lles corfforol mewn nyrsio, bydwreigiaeth a gweithwyr proffesiynol perthynol i iechyd (Ymchwilydd Prinicipal)
Biomecaneg trin â llaw a pharodrwydd corfforol mewn gweithwyr proffesiynol perthynol i iechyd - cydweithio â Phrifysgol Robert Gordon (Aberdeen) a Phrifysgol Birmingham, Cyllidwyr: NHS Grampian, Cronfa Catalydd RGU (Cyd-ymchwilydd)
Rwyf eisoes wedi cynnal ymchwil sy'n archwilio effaith gweithgarwch corfforol a gweithgareddau yn y gymuned (megis grwpiau cerdded a dosbarthiadau ymarfer corff) ar gyfer oedolion digartref a bregus.

Ymchwil
Diddordebau ymchwil
Fy mhrif faes ymchwil yw gwerthuso biomecaneg symudiad swyddogaethol mewn anhwylderau asgwrn y cefn a phoen. Nododd fy astudiaeth PhD, 'Regional Spinal Kinematics and Muscle Activity in Non-Specific Low Back Pain (NSCLBP) yn ystod Tasgau Swyddogaethol' wahaniaethau biofecanyddol penodol mewn ymddygiad symud mewn is-grwpiau o unigolion NSCLBP, sy'n bwysig ar gyfer llywio datblygiad ymyriadau wedi'u targedu. Mae fy ngwaith yn archwilio biomecaneg cyflyrau cyhyrysgerbydol cronig i ddeall mecanweithiau poen sylfaenol yn well, er mwyn llywio strategaethau adsefydlu ac atal effeithiol. Ar hyn o bryd rwy'n archwilio cymhwyso fflworosgopi fel offeryn ar gyfer deall symudiad swyddogaethol yr asgwrn cefn ar draws ystod o anhwylderau asgwrn cefn.
Ar hyn o bryd rwy'n arwain yr astudiaeth WISH (Arolwg Mewnwelediad y Gweithlu ar gyfer Iechyd) a ariennir gan GW4, mewn cydweithrediad â Phrifysgolion Caerwysg a Chaerfaddon, i ddatblygu arolwg newydd i ddeall iechyd a lles corfforol mewn nyrsio, bydwreigiaeth a gweithwyr proffesiynol perthynol i iechyd.
Ar hyn o bryd rwy'n gweithio ar brosiectau cydweithredol gyda Robert Gordon University (Aberdeen) a Phrifysgol Birmingham yn archwilio biomecaneg trin â llaw a pharodrwydd ar gyfer y gweithle mewn gweithwyr proffesiynol perthynol i iechyd.
Rwyf eisoes wedi cynnal ymchwil sy'n archwilio effaith gweithgarwch corfforol a gweithgareddau yn y gymuned (megis grwpiau cerdded a dosbarthiadau ymarfer corff) ar gyfer oedolion digartref a bregus.
Rwy'n aelod o'r Gymdeithas Ymchwil Poen Cefn, y Canolfan Ymchwil Biomecaneg a Biobeirianneg Versus Arthritis (Prifysgol Caerdydd), Sefydliad Peirianneg a Thrwsio Meinwe Caerdydd (CITER) a DISCS (Darganfod Atebion Arloesol ar gyfer Amodau'r Asgwrn Cefn) (https://www.discsfoundation.org/).
Addysgu
Addysgu- Rwy'n arweinydd modiwl ar gyfer modiwl MSc HCT226 (Cinesioleg Glinigol a Phatholeg Meinweoedd). Mae fy addysgu cynradd yn cynnwys addysgu dulliau ymchwil, ystadegau, cinesioleg glinigol, moeseg, biomecaneg a thrin â llaw ar lefel BSc ac MSc.
Goruchwylio Prosiect - Rwy'n goruchwylio prosiectau BSc ac MSc gyda ffocws arbennig ar osgo a phoen asgwrn y cefn a werthuswyd gan ddefnyddio technegau cinemataidd ac electromyograffeg. Rwy'n goruchwylio nifer o ymchwil empirig MSc a phrosiectau adolygu systematig. Ar hyn o bryd rwy'n goruchwylio dau fyfyriwr PhD sy'n ymdrin â dulliau cymysg a methodolegau ansoddol ym meysydd gweithgarwch corfforol a chyflyrau poen cronig.
