Speaker: Julia Hussien
“Hello fellow evidence-based practice supporters! My name is Julia Hussien and I am a recent doctoral graduate from the University of Ottawa’s Human Kinetics program. My thesis included a combination of qualitative and quantitative research methods, and focused on the translation of a motor learning principle, called focus of attention, into Canadian physiotherapy practice. Researchers often see the translation of knowledge into applied practice as a one way street, however, within my research I aimed to create a reciprocal exchange of information with physiotherapists.
Within my talk I will be:
- Sharing details of my three doctoral research projects and their main findings,
- Reflecting on lessons learned and recommendations for future research, and
- Hosting a brief general discussion on what you, the audience, would like to see done in the world of motor learning and control research.
