Researcher biography
Leanne Sakzewski is an Associate Professor at the Queensland Cerebral Palsy and Rehabilitation Research Centre, Faculty of Medicine, The University of Queensland. Leanne completed her undergraduate training in the field of occupational therapy at the University of Queensland. Prior to entering research, she practiced as a senior occupational therapist for eighteen years in paediatric rehabilitation and child development. She completed her PhD in 2010 from The University of Queensland in the field of upper limb rehabilitation for children with cerebral palsy, and achieved a Dean's Commendation for outstanding Research Higher Degree.
Research interests
Leanne's research interests are in the conduct of randomised clinical trials in the field of cerebral palsy and childhood onset acquired brain injuries. In particular, she has focused on randomised controlled trials of:
* upper limb training approaches for infants and children with unilateral cerebral palsy;
* intensive models of motor training to improve gross motor and manual abilities for children with bilateral cerebral palsy;
* participation-focused intervention to increase physically active leisure for children with cerebral palsy;
* social skills group-based program for adolescents with brain injuries.
