Ronald Buyl is a Guest Professor at the SOMT University of Physiotherapy since October 2010, actively contributing to research in public health, digital medicine, and musculoskeletal disorders. His work focuses on pain management (especially lumbar radiculopathy), telemedicine, and interprofessional education in healthcare. He leads projects addressing aging populations, drug resistance in tuberculosis, and digital literacy for adults.
Research Interests:
- Pain Neuroscience Education - Developing interventions to improve surgical outcomes for lumbar radiculopathy patients
- Gerontology - Co-leading the Gerontopole Brussels initiative for healthy aging
- Digital Health - Evaluating technologies for older adults and caregivers through projects like InfoReady
- Systematic Reviews - Analyzing fear avoidance beliefs in spinal surgery outcomes
Recent Article Trends: His 2025 works emphasize maternal mental health during childbirth, midwifery education collaboration, and paternal perinatal depression awareness. Earlier studies (2022-2024) focus on lumbar radiculopathy treatment efficacy and genetic studies of drug-resistant tuberculosis.
Grants & Projects: Currently involved in 6 funded projects including EU-funded InfoReady (digital literacy) and the Gerontopole Brussels (healthy aging). Supervised 12 academic works, including RCTs on pain education and pandemic pregnancy experiences.
Labs/Teams: Collaborates with multidisciplinary teams on datasets like B2aSic (lumbar radiculopathy trials) and contributes to international networks in tuberculosis research through projects like FWOTM1083.
