Biography
Keith (BEng, GDip BioMed Sc, DPT) is a registered physiotherapist, trial manager, and senior research assistant in the McAuley Group at the Centre for Pain IMPACT. He completed degrees in engineering and biomedical science before earning a Doctor of Physiotherapy from Macquarie University in 2018, where his thesis examined respiratory muscle reflex control in spinal cord injury.
After working in private practice physiotherapy and occupational rehabilitation, he joined NeuRA in 2020. His research has focused on the use of abdominal functional electrical stimulation to improve respiratory, blood pressure, and bowel function outcomes in people with spinal cord injury, and to support ventilator weaning in critical illness. He is currently the trial manager for RESOLVE-D, a randomised controlled trial investigating graded sensorimotor retraining for chronic low back pain.
