Professor Jane McAdam is a distinguished academic at the University of Salford's School of Health & Society, where she leads research through the Centre for Human Movement and Rehabilitation. Holding multiple prestigious fellowships (FFPM, RCPS Glasg, FRCPodM, FHEA), she maintains an active research profile with publications spanning 2016-2025.
Her research interests focus on orthotics, gait analysis, and rehabilitation, particularly examining:
- Pediatric flatfoot management (OSTRICH RCT)
- National mapping of UK orthotic practice patterns
- Clinical decision-making in foot care
- Neurorehabilitation for stroke-related foot drop
Professor McAdam's recent publications demonstrate consistent output in high-impact areas, with the 2025 OSTRICH trial indicating ongoing research momentum. Her work shows strong emphasis on evidence-based practice and implementation science in orthotics.
Professional recognition includes:
- Fellow of the Faculty of Podiatric Medicine (FFPM)
- Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow
- Fellow of the Royal College of Podiatry
- Fellow of the Higher Education Academy
As an active supervisor, she has guided doctoral research in neurorehabilitation, with ongoing grant-funded work in pediatric orthotics. Her research addresses critical gaps in evidence-based orthotic practice across multiple healthcare professions.
Her laboratory work centers on the Centre for Human Movement and Rehabilitation, focusing on biomechanical assessment and clinical translation of orthotic interventions for diverse patient populations.
