Scientific background & publications
Sarah Moore is a Senior Lecturer in Physiotherapy at Northumbria University. Her clinical experience as a physiotherapist led to a passion to research and develop interventions to target stroke rehabilitation.
Sarah completed a PhD which explored the impact of exercise on metabolism, function and quality of life after stroke and the exemplary results led to her being awarded a National Institute for Health Research Clinical Lectureship.
During the Lectureship, Sarah split her time between working clinically at Northumbria Healthcare and conducting research with the Stroke Research Group at Newcastle University.
It was also during this time that Sarah led the development and feasibility testing of Physical Activity Routines After Stroke (PARAS). Sarah has published over 20 peer reviewed papers in the field of physical activity and stroke and continues to promote the benefits of physiotherapy to improve patient recovery and long-term health.
Sarah is currently working at Northumbria University where she is exploring the implementation of PARAS and working with healthcare professionals to enable delivery of PARAS in a variety of settings.
