Katrina Williams

Dr. Katrina Williams is a Senior Lecturer in Physiotherapy at the School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences, University of Queensland, with affiliations to the Centre for Hearing Research (CHEAR) and the Centre for Neurorehabilitation, Ageing and Balance Research. Her work focuses on neurological and vestibular disorders, examining how sensory systems interact with the brain to optimize movement control and quality of life.

Research Themes: Her studies span sensory integration in Multiple Sclerosis (MS), symptom impacts on function in Meniere's disease, and biophysical markers for balance outcomes in neurological conditions. She advocates for bio-social-physical models in rehabilitation.

Article Trends: Recent publications analyze gait analysis in MS, vestibular-visual interactions, and the influence of hearing impairment on balance in older adults. Her work bridges clinical practice and translational research.

Collaborations: She partners with the Whirled Foundation (formerly Meniere's Australia) and Sonova AG, contributing to policy initiatives like Hearing Health Australia.
