Biography
A registered physiotherapist with graduate training in Bioengineering, Jack Crosbie has been a member of staff for more years than most people care to remember. His teaching involves the physiotherapy management of spinal cord injury, arthritis and rheumatism and the pursuit of a healthy old age. His research is based on his interest and training in clinical biomechanics, in particular he is interested in the gait analysis and in the coordination of human movement in people with impairment, including arthritis, back pain and foot and ankle injury. He is a founding member of the International Editorial Board of "Gait and Posture" and reviews for that journal and several others in the area of physiotherapy and biomechanics.
