My conclusion is you don't understand ONE GODDAMN THING ABOUT SURVIVOR MOTIVATION/ADHERENCE, DO YOU? You create EXACT 100% recovery protocols, and your survivor will be motivated to do the millions of reps needed because they are looking forward to 100% recovery. I'd fire all of you for incompetence! GET THERE!
Game Changers: Reconceptualising stroke rehabilitation to increase participation, motivation and autonomy
Improve rehabilitation programs for stroke survivors
If you are keen on an exciting career in allied health and interested in developing novel rehabilitation programs for stroke survivors, the University of South Australia – Australia’s University of Enterprise – is offering a hands-on project-based PhD within the IIMPACT in Health (IIMPACT) research concentration, in partnership with Bowls SA.
Rehabilitation is the front-line therapy for stroke recovery. However, community services are limited and many stroke survivors endure persistent disability.
Our project aims to re-shape stroke rehabilitation in the community by short-circuiting the link between community participation and rehabilitation. This could be a game changer for stroke rehabilitation.
Using lawn bowls as a model, the project will co-design and evaluate an innovative program to get people back into the activities they enjoy doing in the community. You will work directly with people who have experienced stroke to develop and test the program.
You will join IIMPACT, which is a supportive clinical research environment that comprises over 100 researchers working across a range of disabilities. The concentration has expertise across a range of research methodologies and skillsets that will provide additional support for this project.
IIMPACT has a strong track record for producing high quality HDR candidates who complete on time, successfully publish, receive competitive funding and are recognised through research awards. All necessary equipment, training and knowledge can be provided within the research environment.
What you’ll do
In this project-based research degree, you will work closely with key stakeholders, including patients, clinicians and service providers of stroke rehabilitation in South Australia
There will be some travel required to meet with key partners, and to deliver and evaluate the program.
Where you’ll be based
You will be based in IIMPACT in Health. Persistent pain, stroke recovery, persistent breathlessness, child health and the rural health inequity are now recognised as grand health challenges. They are multifactorial and complex. Solving them will require innovation, collaboration and whole of community involvement.
IIMPACT in Health brings together internationally renowned research groups intent on understanding and solving real-world problems and fast-tracking our discoveries to bring about effective and sustainable improvements in health outcomes.
