Motor Impairment Blog

Motor Impairment is the final pathway that causes physical disability in a wide range of diseases and health conditions. The goal of this blog is to better understand the pathophysiology of motor impairment, to implement interventions and to drive enhanced clinical practice.

The blog was established by the Motor Impairment Program team at NeuRA (Neuroscience Research Australia) during a five year NHMRC-funded grant. The Motor Impairment Program also established an International Motor Impairment Meeting – the next one will be online in November 2021, then after that in Amsterdam 2022.
