Have a moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury? We're looking for people aged 10+ to take a short survey (15-20 mins) on what physical activity you enjoy - sports, walking, classes, etc. Your input helps us advocate for better community options 🙌 sydney.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_b1…

BDNF has been targeted as a potential biomarker for stroke recovery, & authors examined the effects of cardiovascular exercise on BDNF early after #stroke. They found cardiovascular exercise didn't induce significant chronic or acute changes in serum BDNF. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

🧠 It’s #BrainInjury Awareness Week. Theme: Invisible disabilities deserve visible change. Last year we launched Australia’s first #physicalactivity guideline for people with msTBI. Now we need YOUR help to put it into action. 📝 Survey (10+ yrs, msTBI): sydney.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_b1…

🆕📰New Publication led by @TashMachado evaluating the agreement between direct and estimate measures of max oxygen consumption (VO2max) after stroke. Find our manuscript here: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… @GavinWPhysio @liamgjohnson #prosperresearch #stroke #Vo2max #gradedexercise

It’s #BrainInjury Awareness Week 🧠 Theme: Invisible disabilities deserve visible change Last year we launched Australia’s first #physicalactivity guideline for people with msTBI to support health professionals and carers. 📖Access the guideline: imh.org.au/bridges-project #BIAW

It was a privilege to work with people with TBI, their families and carers, clinicians, researchers, funders, and TBI advocates to complete this work under the incredible leadership of @Leanne_Hassett @syd_health @msk_health

Very pleased to share our #physicalactivity #clinicalpractice Guideline for people with mod-to-severe TBI, published in Clinical & Public Health Guidelines. 💡Funded by the #MRFF TBI Mission ✅Approved by @nhmrc 👍Endorsed @ESSA_NEWS @apaphysio @RMSANZ1 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/gi…

High-intensity #exercise training to stimulate recovery in the acute stage of #stroke: very effective (maybe we should use/investigate this more often?) 👇 journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/15… @REAmanzonwe @peterfeys_

Voting is open in the #Nottest100 of Australian songs. The list below contains the songs that made triple j’s Hottest 100 of Australian songs. We want to know your top three songs that DIDN’T make the list. Give us your 3-2-1.

My last PhD study was just published looking at the perspectives of people post-stroke who completed a 12-week HIIT trial. People post-stroke describe that HIIT is empowering and enables meaningful engagement in both ADLs and IADLs. Check it out below: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Just published in Disability and Rehabilitation. A timed sit-to-stand test and prediction equation had no agreement with fitness in people with stroke. A simple test of fitness for people with stroke is required. @liamgjohnson @GavinWPhysio @ProsperRehab doi.org/10.1080/096382…

Though high-intensity interval training (HIIT) can increase neurotrophin, improve cardiovascular health, & enhance recovery after #stroke, it's rarely prescribed. Authors identified key facilitators & barriers to HIIT use in patients & rehab professionals: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…
