Centre for Health, Sport and Rehabilitation Sciences Research
The Centre is a highly multidisciplinary environment with members drawn from the health professions including physiotherapy, podiatry, sports rehabilitation, prosthetics and orthotics, radiography and occupational therapy, as well as engineering, sports science and computing science.
The Centre boasts world class facilities including three gait and human performance laboratories, a clinical imaging suite, sports and podiatry clinical facilities, and sports strength and conditioning rooms.
We currently boast over £3.6 million of research funding and our academic staff lead on a host of international collaborations and enjoy partnerships with many health organisations, sports clubs, private industry partners, charities and user organisations.
In the national Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) 2008 more than 80% of the School’s research was ranked as of “international quality” and within the UK and Europe we are in the top 5% of research groups based in academic departments related to podiatry, physiotherapy, prosthetics, orthotics, occupational therapy, sports science and sports rehabilitation. Staff and students across the School of Health, Sport and Rehabilitation Sciences make an active contribution to our research programmes in order to maintain and augment our profile.
