Biography

Marie-Claire Smith completed her PhD in Health Sciences in 2017. She is an experienced physiotherapist with an interest in stroke research and is currently working as a research fellow in the Department of Medicine.

Research | Current

Marie-Claire's research interests are predicting and improving recovery and outcomes after stroke. She is currently leading a multicentre trial investigating how to predict both whether and when a patient will walk independently after stroke. She is also involved in a project trialling a type of biofeedback to improve symmetry in walking after stroke. This research involves the use of clincial, neuroimaging, neurophsyiology and biomechanical assessment tools. A strong focus of this research is that it is relevant and translatable to clincial practice.
