Sean Lowton-Smith

Sean Lowton-Smith is a Senior Lecturer in Sport Therapy and Rehabilitation at the College of Science and Engineering. His research focuses on biomechanical interventions for mental health, particularly depression, and explores the interplay between mood, physical activity, and motor function. He has expertise in clinical biomechanics, exercise physiology, and community health interventions.

Research Interests:

• Biomechanical interventions for psychiatric conditions
• Neuromuscular adaptations in mood disorders
• Clinical applications of gait analysis
• Public health strategies for COPD and chronic disease management
• Technology-enhanced clinical education (AR/virtual patients)

Recent work includes developing biomechanical models to predict gait dynamics in depression (2025), investigating CPR performance degradation mechanisms (2025), and evaluating community health programs for COPD patients (2018-2019). His research combines quantitative biomechanical analysis with qualitative clinical outcomes to improve therapeutic interventions.
