Lyndal Jane Maxwell

Lyndal Jane Maxwell is Senior Lecturer (Physiotherapy) in the School of Allied Health, Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Notre Dame Australia. Her role encompasses teaching, research and clinical leadership across cardiorespiratory physiotherapy, cystic-fibrosis care, and rural chronic-lung-disease programmes.

Research Focus:

• Cardiorespiratory physiotherapy and respiratory rehabilitation
• Evidence-based management of cystic fibrosis in adults
• Obesity hypoventilation syndrome and non-invasive monitoring
• Temporomandibular disorders and interdisciplinary care
• Physiotherapy education and student impact on service delivery
• Rural and remote pulmonary rehabilitation programmes

Across more than 18 peer-reviewed publications since 2005, Maxwell’s work reveals a consistent trajectory from foundational physiological studies (e.g., validation of LifeShirt monitoring in obesity hypoventilation) to pragmatic clinical trials and service evaluations that inform best-practice physiotherapy. Recent 2024 papers concentrate on TMD management and student contribution to health services, underscoring her dual commitment to musculoskeletal and educational research themes.

Scientific Recognition & Grants:
While the provided text does not list specific awards or funding schemes, the breadth and continuity of her research—from national pulmonary-rehabilitation surveys to randomised oxygen-therapy trials—indicate sustained competitive support and peer recognition within Australian physiotherapy and respiratory-medicine communities.

Teaching & Supervision:
As Senior Lecturer she leads physiotherapy curricula and mentors students whose work is reflected in several co-authored publications. Although individual student names are not supplied, her qualitative studies on student contribution to service delivery demonstrate active involvement in graduate research supervision and workforce preparation.

Laboratory & Clinical Teams:
Maxwell collaborates closely with multidisciplinary teams across adult cystic-fibrosis services, rural health networks, and allied-health assistant programmes, integrating clinical practice innovations into educational and research agendas.
