The Shoulder Research Institute

 

The Sydney Shoulder Research Institute builds knowledge and improves patient outcomes through discovery, translation, and education. The institute is dedicated to translating research into real-world outcomes and bringing innovations to orthopaedic surgery. Read about the Institute's mission and research goals. The Shoulder Research Brisbane was founded in 1997. Dr. Philip McClure, a professor at the University of Sydney, is a founding member. He and his team have dedicated their careers to improving patient care through orthopaedic research.

QUASR

The QUASR shoulder research centre is a multidisciplinary platform that improves patient outcomes in orthopaedic shoulder surgery. Its members combine academic and clinical aspects of shoulder surgery to produce breakthrough discoveries. Their work is shared with other researchers to improve treatment for a wide range of injuries and diseases. As a result, QUASR's projects have a worldwide impact. Members are passionate about improving the quality of shoulder surgery.

The QUASR shoulder research centre is dedicated to bridging academic and industrial research, fostering the development of future leaders, and building capacity through research and training. In addition to conducting university-based research activities, the QUASR shoulder research centre also conducts research through its joint biomechanics and industrial transformation training centres. It currently has over 30 ongoing research projects.

SSRI

The Sydney Shoulder Research Institute is dedicated to advancing knowledge in orthopaedics by improving outcomes through discovery, translation, and education. Our research efforts are focused on translating research findings into practical benefits for patients and the field. Our goal is to discover new treatments and procedures that improve quality of life.

Drs. Young and Cass have partnered with a psychologist, Jasmin Gwynne, to oversee the institute's activities. Before joining SSRI, Gwynne worked in high-end real estate for two years before returning to community service. She has extensive experience working with patients who are on antidepressants and those who want to go off them. SSRI Fellows are expected to publish at least one scientific paper as a result of their work. SSRI Fellows must complete a rigorous application process to be eligible to participate in either fellowship program.

Dr. Philip McClure

A pioneer in the field of shoulder biomechanics and exercise, Dr. Philip McClure is internationally recognized for his work. He is the chair of the Shoulder Guideline Panel for the Orthopedic Section of the APTA and an editorial board member of the Journal of Orthopaedic and Sports Physical Therapy. His research has received numerous awards and recognition, including the Michael L. Berger Faculty Scholars and Artists Prize, which honors outstanding scholarship and research in physical medicine and sports.

His research on shoulder dysfunction includes both clinical and laboratory studies. He focuses on biomechanical mechanisms that contribute to the development of shoulder disorders, including rotator cuff tendinopathy. His work has included a thorough study of 3-dimensional scapular kinematics. He has also trained physical therapists and mentored post-doctoral researchers.

Physiotherapist C. M.

Physiotherapists use physical means to help patients recover from illness or injury. Their main goal is to improve the quality of a patient's movement and quality of life. They use manual therapies such as joint manipulation and spinal mobilisation. They also use exercise programs to strengthen muscles. They may also use electrotherapy such as diathermy and ultrasound to help patients.

Research projects

The shoulder research centre has a variety of projects involving the shoulder and the related structures and functions. The projects aim to improve the diagnosis and treatment of shoulder disorders. Some of the projects include the use of ultrasound imaging to evaluate shoulder structures and functions. Others are looking at the effects of physical therapy on shoulder pain.

Researchers at the centre focus on a transdisciplinary approach to shoulder research and their findings will help improve the tools used to diagnose and treat musculoskeletal conditions. It is a place of collaboration and knowledge exchange among shoulder surgeons from different disciplines. It is also dedicated to improving patient outcomes through orthopaedic shoulder surgery.

Facilities

A shoulder research centre is an important place to work if you have shoulder pain. Shoulder pain is a common problem that is caused by irritation of the shoulder joint and its tendons. Traditionally, physical therapy is the first line of treatment for shoulder conditions. However, a shoulder research centre aims to go beyond the basic physical therapy and develop new, better treatments.

The shoulder research centre is staffed with scientists who can perform a variety of experiments. It has three large CO2 incubators, two double-width laminar flowhoods, a water bath, and refrigerator/freezers. The laboratory also has a dedicated microcentrifuge, a chromatography machine, and histology equipment. It also features a safety shower and hands-free sinks. The centre also has two computer rooms and a large seminar room which can seat 60 people. It can also be divided into two rooms for simultaneous meetings.
