Profile

I originally trained as a Physiotherapist at the Middlesex Hospital, affiliated to the University of London, becoming a Member of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy. After my initial training, I went to South Africa to work at the Red Cross Memorial Children’s Hospital and subsequently as a physiotherapist working for the Western Cape Cerebral Palsy Society. It was whilst here that I learnt to develop novel seating and sleeping equipment for the children living in the Cape flats townships, out of cardboard boxes, see my inaugural lecture, ‘What do intelligent shoes and brain synapses have to do with NHS reforms’.

On returning to the UK I gained a BSc (Hons) in Physiotherapy in 1991 from ��«Ӱҵ Hallam University where I developed and lead the Masters in Neurological Rehabilitation. In 1997 I completed my PhD study identifying the characteristics of motor recovery following a stroke.

I was appointed Professor of Health Services Research in the School for Health and Related Research at the University of ��«Ӱҵ, working within the Rehabilitation and Assistive Technology group and the newly established a Centre for Assistive Technology and Digital Healthcare CATCH.

My role is to develop stronger links between researchers at ScHARR, the NHS, industry and the voluntary sector with a specific focus on research into both novel interventions and technologies for people with disabilities, older people and people with long-term conditions and public health.

Research interests

My research focuses on improving the quality of life of people with long term conditions, particularly through exploration of the effectiveness of rehabilitative interventions and the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) to support the self-management of the rehabilitation process. My research work, funded predominantly through the Engineering and Physical Science Research Council, and latterly the NIHR CLAHRC Y&H, has capitalised on new innovations in sensor and digital technologies and involves interdisciplinary work, integrating clinical rehabilitation researchers with engineering, design, mecatronics, informatics and digital media specialists.

Current projects

In 2008 I led the successful South Yorkshire application to become a National Institute of Health Research Collaboration for Leadership in applied Research and Care (CLARHC) pilot. This multi-disciplinary innovation community was driven by the needs of people with long term conditions, undertaking applied research, capacity development and knowledge implementation, identifying news ways of enabling the adoption and diffusion of evidence based practices and services through user-centred design methods and self-management principles.

In 2013 the NIHR launched a new call for region CLAHRC’s and I was appointed Director for the Yorkshire and Humber bid which was successfully awarded in July of 2013 for a further 5 years. This ward attracts an income of £10 million from NIHR with a current match funding portfolio form partners organisations of £14 million.

I was a principal investigator on a EU Framework 7 bid, the, with colleagues in Sweden, Italy and Poland the purpose of the research being to improve the implementation of ICT based models for chronic disease management in the areas of dementia, diabetes and stroke care.

Since 2003 I have worked on the EPSRC funded project with Professor Gail Mountain and Professor Mark Hawley to develop a self management system for people with chronic diseases. I specifically lead the evaluation aspects of the project, developing a Personalised Self-management Rehabilitation Technology (PSMrS) working closely with ‘Kinematic’ a company based in Portugal and Boston, USA utilizing and adapting their multi sensored insole for walking re-education within the PSMrS.

Research group

My PhD students

Over the years I have directed and supervised nine graduating PhDs students and currently supervise 5 two of whom has been awarded an NIHR Doctoral Fellowships. My students are mainly physiotherapist, sports scientist and medical practitioners.

Chris Littlewood: "I joined ScHARR in 2011 and in August of that year was awarded a National Institute for Health Research Doctoral Research Fellowship. Prior to this I was employed as a Senior Lecturer in Physiotherapy at ��«Ӱҵ Hallam University. I have previously worked as a physiotherapist in the NHS and private sector. I have recently completed a PhD relating to the assessment and management of rotator cuff tendinopathy."
Thamer Ahmed Altaim: “Clinical measurement of functional outcomes for individuals receiving physiotherapy management for chronic low back pain”. Thamer is a chartered physiotherapist from Jordan. He started his PhD in 2012 at ScHARR to develop a culturally sensitive clinical outcome measurement tool for individuals receiving physiotherapy for chronic low back pain in Jordan. Thamer presented his work in national and international conferences.
Moe Kyi is a Consultant Physician in Respiratory Medicine at Doncaster Royal Infirmary. She is undertaking an NIHR-CLAHRC (YH) funded randomised control trial on individualised nutritional intervention and pulmonary rehabilitation on underweight patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This is her MD project.

Teaching activities: My areas of interest are teaching research methods particularly around measurement theory, complex interventions and the implications of theory to the measurement of health care outcomes. Of particular interest to me are the concepts of clinimetrics and the importance of measurement on the individual as opposed to population-based measurement. I have extensive experience of the TELER methods of measurement and clinical note-taking with utilizing this method in my research as a valid and reliable tool for individual ( n=1) and group RCT mixed methods.

Professional activities and memberships

My original degree was in physiotherapy and I became a clinical specialist in paediatric neurology however I moved into a jointly funded NHS academic post in 1991 to undertake my PhD. I was President of the Association of Chartered Physiotherapists in Neurology (ACPIN) for four years and sat on the NIHR RfPB funding panel for two terms.

I am an elected board member of the Health Services Research Network working with senior research leaders nationally to promote and develop a research culture within the NHS.
