User:Joan Leung
I am a Senior Physiotherapist working in the Brain Injury Unit of Royal Rehab in Sydney (Australia). I have worked as a physiotherapist for many years and have extensive experience in rehabilitation, especially in the area of traumatic brain injury. My clinical interests are rehabilitation and contracture management. I have been involved in research and have published papers on a range of topics relating to stroke and traumatic brain injury. I completed my PhD (Sydney School of Medicine of University of Sydney) in 2015.
