معرفی
Dr Christopher Mackay is a Conjoint Research Fellow in Physiotherapy at the University of Queensland's School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences. His research focuses on promoting brain recovery after neurological injury, particularly through exercise interventions targeting neurotrophic factors like BDNF. He has expertise in exercise physiology, stroke rehabilitation, and clinical physiotherapy practice.
Research Interests: Dr Mackay explores how aerobic exercise impacts sensorimotor adaptation and neurotrophic factors in post-stroke patients and other neurological conditions. His work emphasizes translating physiological insights into clinically applicable rehabilitation strategies.
Publications: His recent studies include analyzing acute exercise effects on sensorimotor adaptation in chronic stroke (2021) and systematic reviews on BDNF responses to aerobic exercise in neurological disorders (2017-2018). These publications highlight trends in neuroplasticity mechanisms and exercise-based therapeutic approaches.
