Professor Kate Button
Professor/ Head of Research and Innovation
- Available for postgraduate supervision
Overview
I qualified as a physiotherapist from the University of Brighton and kick started my research career by studying for a Masters degree at the School of Healthcare Sciences, Cardiff University. I completed a PhD part time whilst working as a Clinical Specialist Phyiotherapist in Cardiff and Vale University Health Board. In my PhD I integrated biomechanical methods into physiotherapy clinical practice to evaluate recorvery in people with ruptured anterior cruciate ligaments. My research currently focuses on working with people with joint pain and multiple long term conditions to develop and test digital and self-management interventions.
My current projects include:
- TIPTOE: Multi-domain self-management in older adults with joint pain and long term conditions: TIPTOE - Centre for Trials Research - Cardiff University
- TRAK-MSK: feasibility of an online physiotherapy self-management support intervention
- SUSTAIN: Development of self-management support training for carers of older adults with osteoarthritis and additional conditions. Self-management support training for carers of older adults with osteoarthritis and additional conditions living in care homes - healthylongevitychallenge.org
- SPIN VR: Feasibility of a home-based personalised virtual reality physiotherapy intervention for people with knee osteoarthritis
I have experience of intervention development, feasibility trials and clinical trials.
I am currently the Musculoskeletal Research Speciality Lead for Health and Care Research Wales.
I supervise PhD and MSc students and teach on the masters programme.
