Centre for Rehabilitation
The core philosophy of personal best - optimising and maintaining function and performance - sits at the heart of the Centre for Rehabilitation.
Its key research themes are: managing long term conditions; exercise and sports sciences; and applied health psychology. Significant research covers complex topics including elite athletes’ responses to training loads, treatment for broken shoulder fractures and guidelines for physical activity levels.
Its team works closely with public health organisations, practitioners and communities to ensure all its research has a real-world impact.
Strategic partnerships are operated through; ARC NENC, a research partnership between universities and health and social care organisations; FUSE, the region's Centre for Translational Research in Public Health; the Council for Allied Health Professions Network; the NIHR Research Design Service North East and North Cumbria; MedConnect North, which seeks to connect the NHS with new technologies; and VR4Rehab, a project supported by the European Union to develop virtual reality for rehabilitation.
