Passionate clinician working towards my PhD in Physiotherapy, researching exoskeletons in neuro-rehab.

Gave the @cosmedhq BodPod a go yesterday at @HMRIAustralia ahead of the start of the very exciting NEW1000 study next week!

Exercise in a free-standing exoskeleton can provide the
opportunity to exercise at an intensity sufficient to raise resting metabolic rate; these devices may have a role in neuro-rehabilitation @TNSRE1 @UON_research @MarquezJodie @spratt_neil @margygall

Exercise in a free-standing robotic exoskeleton is not passive in healthy or neurologically impaired people, and those with stroke may derive more benefit than those with MS. @TNSRE1 @UON_research @IEEEorg @MarquezJodie @spratt_neil @margygall

So proud to have our second manuscript accepted for publication @TNSRE1! Serious teamwork went into this study for several years! I look forward to sharing more in a few weeks 🙂 Thanks a million Steven Lamond @margygall Kerrin Palazzi, Andrew Bivard, @spratt_neil @MarquezJodie

@IshankaMW @MarquezJodie @UON_research Well done Samaher!! It was a fantastic presentation of an excellent body of work!

[Nicola Postol @NicolaPostol1]

How unbelievably special that when we are physically more apart from our loved ones than ever, we can feel so together. Thank you to all our frontline staff. #HomeFront #AnzacAtHome

@Heatherknight55 Gutted for you all. Would have loved to see the match!

[Dr Emma Pollock @Dr_EmPollock]

Great to see our @DaughterCricket program participants engaging with @englandcricket female sporting legends at the @T20WorldCup - If she can see it, she can be it 💫

Thanks for sharing @NicolaPostol1!

[Nicola Postol @NicolaPostol1]

My big girl is absolutely loving this program!

#MentalHealth tip: The diminishing returns trap. It's easy to see breaks as a waste of time. I'll just keep working through - I'll get more done. But eventually you become less effective. Research can be very isolating. You need breaks and time to catch up with people.

@NicolaJHancock @EDP24 @UEA_Health I miss Norwich!! Such a beautiful city. And I hope kindness prevails ❤

[Nicola Postol @NicolaPostol1]

Today I have my final 3 sessions with a REX robotic exoskeleton!! That's the end of 3 years of intervention for my PhD...just outcome measures, and the tiny issue of a qualitative study for 2020 😉 Bring it on!! #PhD #rehabilitation @ain_rehab @UON_research @MarquezJodie

In our newly published paper, we describe the high frequency of unplanned readmissions in the first 90 days after stroke. Patients discharged directly home were ~50% more likely to be readmitted! 🏥 🧠https://t.co/2jqCLPnhIu @KilkennyMonique @DominiqueCad @joosydyr @StrokeAHA_ASA

Stroke Registry data linked to emergency and hospital data to unpack why people bounce back after stroke @SaferCareVic @VAHI_Vic @AustStrokeReg @aihw @euan_wallace @SCSMonash

[Dr Nicola Hancock 🌱 @NicolaJHancock]

One of my favourite activities today- a #People1st Masterclass, this time with local colleagues in Norfolk & Waveney. Excited to hear all about your ideas for implementing & sustaining supported self-management in practice! @NNUH @NCHCresearch @NCHC_NHS @QEHRehab @bridgesselfmgmt

[Hugh Kearns @ithinkwellHugh]

On Thursday I'll be talking about Staying Well during your PhD, postdoc or research career. Free webinar. Sign up.

Interesting #Stroke #Strengthtraining #physio
Guess it helps to put the gains into something functional 🤭😏
