Lebogang Maseko

Dr. Lebogang Maseko serves as a Lecturer in Occupational Therapy at the University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa, where she contributes to academic and research initiatives within rehabilitation sciences.

Her academic credentials include:

• BSc in Occupational Therapy (University of the Witwatersrand)
• BPhil (University of the Witwatersrand)
• Master of Public Health (University of the Witwatersrand)

Dr. Maseko's research program critically examines occupational therapy services in primary healthcare contexts across South Africa. She investigates environmental barriers to community reintegration for stroke survivors, user satisfaction with rehabilitation services, and the integration of rehabilitation into public health systems. Her work frequently addresses the experiences of vulnerable populations including forcibly displaced individuals and those with severe intellectual disabilities, employing qualitative methodologies to capture stakeholder perspectives in under-resourced urban settings.

Analysis of her 13 publications (2015-2025) reveals consistent focus on rehabilitation service delivery in low-resource environments, with emerging themes around wheelchair prescription outcomes, activity limitation frameworks, and participatory approaches to disability programming. Her research demonstrates strong alignment with South Africa's National Health Insurance goals for integrated primary care rehabilitation.

Dr. Maseko actively disseminates findings through high-impact journals including the South African Journal of Occupational Therapy, African Journal of Disability, and BMC Health Services Research, contributing evidence for policy development in African rehabilitation contexts.
