Biographical details

Dr Susan Coulson is a lecturer in musculoskeletal physiotherapy. Prior to joining the University of Sydney, she worked in the area of rehabilitation following facial nerve disorders for 20 years. Susan's research and clinical work has focussed on improving facial movement dysfunction so as to attenuate the profound impact that facial disorders can have on the social, emotional and physical function of the patient. To achieve this goal, she established a Facial Nerve Laboratory based at the Faculty of Health Sciences, and is conducting studies to investigate treatments specifically designed to improve control and quality of the smile after long-term facial nerve injury. The brain's capacity for neuroplasticity following acute injury is a key concept that is also being investigated in this work.Susan is a teaching / research academic in the Discipline of Physiotherapy and has been associated with the University of Sydney since 1980, when she began her undergraduate degree in Physiotherapy. Whilst working as a clinical physiotherapist in the 1990's she completed a research Masters Degree in Exercise & Sports Science using motion analysis system to quantify the displacement of facial movements. From 2000 she conducted further research into facial nerve rehabilitation and undertook a PhD in Physiotherapy supported by an Australian Postgraduate Award.
