My PhD research involved conducting a multi-centre feasibility randomised controlled trial to determine the feasibility of a functional standing frame programme (prolonged standing and sit to stand repetitions) for people with severe sub-acute stroke, compared to usual physiotherapy. I also conducted a systematic review to determine the evidence for non-pharmacological interventions to treat orthostatic hypotension in elderly people and people with a neurological condition.
