25.01.2022 Wonderful news | Congratulations to the Executive Director of the Kolling Institute Professor Carolyn Sue, who will help drive an international research project for a better understanding of Parkinsons disease. The research will focus on the genetic links to Parkinsons to help identify new treatments to slow down the degenerative disease process. The program is part of a global multi-million dollar effort to speed-up the search for new therapies, funded by the Aligning Sc...ience Across Parkinsons initiative through the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinsons Research. #Parkinsons Northern Sydney Local Health District RNSH University of Sydney Brain And Mind Centre The Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health

19.01.2022 SPINAL TRIAL | An Australia-wide trial is about to get underway with hopes it may lead to life-long improvements for those who experience a spinal cord injury. ...Led by Professor Lisa Harvey from the Kolling Institutes John Walsh Centre for Rehabilitation Research, based at RNSH, the study represents a collaboration between the University of Sydney and every spinal injury unit in Australia. The NSW Government is investing $2.5 million in the project, with the University of Sydney contributing $500,000. Lisa said the innovative approach is one of the most promising interventions for those with spinal cord injuries. Researchers will assess the effectiveness of early and intensive physiotherapy on neurological recovery and function in people with a recent injury, she said. The type of physiotherapy we are looking at will be directed below the level of the injury to take advantage of the plasticity of the spinal cord, and its ability to self-repair soon after injury. The treatment will aim to help partially paralysed muscles work again through a range of specific exercises, including walking on a treadmill with overhead suspension and electrical stimulation. Were very hopeful the treatment will lead to better outcomes for those with a spinal cord injury, improving their ability to live independently, and participate in work and leisure. See more
