2. Keeping Our Independence | Professor Susan Hillier

Susan Hillier is Dean of Research in the University of South Australia’s Allied Health & Human Performance Unit. She has teaching and research interests in the fields of neuroscience and rehabilitation. One of her main research areas is the effectiveness of rehabilitation approaches after stroke as well as models of rehabilitation and access to rehabilitation. The influence of rehabilitation on neuroplasticity is also a focus.

In this podcast Susan examines how we get the brain into a learning frame of mind.

• When things go wrong in the brain, how does it find a different way of doing something?
• What motivates and engages the individual to promote learning? How do we maximise self-efficacy?
• Mitigating risk factors for stroke and chronic illness.
• ‘The whole human approach to recovery’.
