Dr. Anna Hatton is a Senior Lecturer at the School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences, The University of Queensland. As Co-Director of the UQ Centre for Neurorehabilitation, Ageing and Balance Research and Associate Editor for Gait & Posture, she leads interdisciplinary research into sensory-based rehabilitation technologies. Her work bridges clinical practice with engineering innovation, focusing on footwear devices for balance enhancement.
- Research themes: novel textured/vibratory insoles, neurological gait analysis, age-related mobility
- Key funding: NHMRC IDEAS Grants, Bionics Queensland Challenge, Diabetes Australia, PA Research Foundation
Her Young Tall Poppy Science Award (2016) recognizes contributions to plantar sensory stimulation. Current supervised projects explore bionic insole neurophysiology, combat sports injury prevention, and sport performance optimization. Media engagements focus on electromyography, sensorimotor function, and footwear interventions.
