Abby Tabor

Dr. Abby Tabor is a researcher within the Faculty of Health and Applied Sciences (HAS) at the University of the West of England (UWE Bristol). Her work focuses on the theoretical understanding of aversive bodily symptoms, particularly pain, with an emphasis on embodied perspectives and active inference frameworks. She investigates how body-world interactions shape perception and action, especially in contexts such as limb fracture, amputation, and pediatric prosthetics collaboration with the NHS. Her research bridges clinical practice, neuroscience, and rehabilitation, aiming to improve treatment outcomes and patient well-being.

Abby’s research interests include the interplay between perception and action in pain contexts, the role of environment in bodily experiences, and the application of advanced technologies to enhance prosthetics and pain management. Her work often involves interdisciplinary collaborations, combining insights from neuroscience, psychology, and clinical medicine.

Her recent publications explore biomechanical and psychological pathways in pain, the efficacy of aerobic exercise in pain reduction, and methodological innovations in pain research. While no specific awards are listed, her contributions to prosthetics and chronic pain studies highlight her impactful work. No student advising or grant details are provided in the text. Abby is affiliated with UWE’s HAS faculty and is actively involved in NHS partnerships for translational research.
