INTERSECT: Interdisciplinary Translational Rehabilitation Research Centre
University of Exeter, Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust and a range of partners in the South West peninsula have a vibrant history in rehabilitation, aging, orthopaedics, sport science and human performance research. INTERSECT brings together strengths from across these disciplines, organisations and the cutting-edge facilities that Exeter has invested in to research human movement.
Movement of the body, a function that is determined both by the mind/brain and system of joints, muscles, tendons and other structures of the body and is determined by the nature of environment and context. The Centre and its network hosts a unique research intensive interdisciplinary environment with insights from clinical academics with broad experience in diseases of aging and across the life-course including neurologic and musculoskeletal diseases, and researchers from mathematics, engineering, biomechanics, psychology, physiology, movement science, assessment of environments, materials, human environment interactions and product design.
About us
Professor Sallie Lamb's team at the University of Exeter have produced a series of courses for health professionals. These courses will provide the knowledge and skills to deliver evidence-based rehabilitation interventions that have been tested in large randomised controlled trials funded by the National Institute of Health Research.
The Exeter team have worked with researchers from the Universities of Oxford, Warwick, and Southampton and with health professionals in the United Kingdom to develop these courses so we can make clinically and cost-effective treatments available to patients, globally.
This work has been funded by the Gillings Foundation (University of Exeter) and the NIHR including the Oxford and Thames Valley Applied Research Collaboration (ARC). It has been supported by the Southwest Peninsula ARC.
