Common methodological misunderstandings in clinical trials

Biography

Professor Lisa Harvey (PhD) has 20 years clinical experience as a physiotherapist in the area of spinal cord injuries. She currently holds an academic position at the Faculty of Medicine and Health, University of Sydney. Most of her research focuses on putting an evidence base to widely administered physiotherapy interventions. She was Principal Co-ordinating investigator on a large multi-centered international clinical trial (the SCI-MT Trial) looking at the effectiveness of an intensive form of motor training provided soon after injury. She with Associate Professor Glinsky led the development of the Australian and New Zealand Physiotherapy Guidelines for the Management of People with Spinal Cord Injuries. She setup and continues to manage www.physiotherapyexercises.com; free online exercise prescribing software for physiotherapists. She is chair of the Scientific and Research Committee of ISCoS, and the ISCoS Working Parting overseeing www.elearnSCI.org. She is an Associate Editor for Cochrane, Section Editor for Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, and recent past Editor-in-Chief of Spinal Cord. In addition, she leads the Australian Centre of the Cochrane Rehab Thematic Group. She is currently working on a project that aims to get consensus from physiotherapists on the most appropriate sets of evidence-based exercises for each of the different but common problems physiotherapists treat in people with all types of injuries and disabilities.
