Bogie, Kath, D. Phil

My research interests are in the areas of wound prevention and treatment, particularly in individuals with paralysis and in the biomechanics of wheelchairs and seating for people with limited mobility. My research includes both clinical and basic science studies to investigate novel therapeutic methods. Currently active projects include the development of a fully implanted stimulation system to enhance tissue health and prevent pressure ulcers and the use of new methods to improve healing in chronic wounds.
