Nnamdi Mgbemena

Nnamdi Mgbemena is a researcher affiliated with Charles Sturt University's School of Allied Health, Exercise and Sports Sciences. His work bridges physiotherapy, cardiorespiratory health, and functional recovery metrics.

Education:

• PhD in Health (2022), James Cook University
• MSc.PT (2016), University of Lagos
• BMR.PT (2011), University of Nigeria

Mgbemena specializes in musculoskeletal-respiratory interrelationships, particularly handgrip strength as a proxy for lung function and post-surgical recovery. His research spans clinical assessment tools, health-related quality of life metrics, and evidence-based practice in allied health.

His publications since 2016 focus on instrument reliability, predictive models for pulmonary health, and the physiological basis of functional recovery. Key trends include cross-disciplinary applications of grip strength and systematic reviews on respiratory diagnostics.

Peer-review roles include contributions to BMC Public Health, Scientific Reports, and Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics.
