DR
PHILIP HARDCASTLE
|
1982 Menzies
Memorial Scholar in Medicine
I
was born in Sydney (1949) and initially attended Scotch College
and later Inverell High School in northern New South Wales. After six
years of medicine at Sydney University I trained at RPAH and then
Sydney Hospital before entering the Orthopaedic Training Program at
Oswestry, UK. From there I had an AO Scholarship doing
trauma surgery in Austria for three months.
I
worked as a senior orthopaedic registrar in Perth before being
awarded the Menzies Scholarship in Medicine to train in Spinal
Surgery in the UK and the USA. My initial consultancy was senior lecturer
in Orthopaedic Surgery with a special interest in spinal disorders
at the University of WA working with the Hollywood Orthopaedic Service. I
was then appointed as a Consultant Surgeon on the Spinal Injuries
Unit at the RPR Hospital where I have continued to work. Spinal
disorders involves a diverse area involving spinal trauma, tumour
work, acute and chronic spinal disorders. Since my return
I have introduced a number of new techniques in spinal surgery
to this country and have special interest in trauma, both major
and sporting.
My
main areas of academic interest are in clinical studies with respect
to spinal pain and I have been involved in a number of studies
with fast bowlers though the University of WA, functional outcome
studies on paraplegics and outcome studies on patients undergoing
spinal fusion or the newer Graf procedure for patients with chronic
pain. My more recent research interests have been in the
development of anterior interbody fixation devices for spinal
fusion in the cervical and lumbar spine.
The
Menzies Scholarship provided me with a platform to pursue these
interests and I am indebted to the Menzies Trust and Foundation
for this opportunity.
I play
polo as well as coach and referee rugby union. I have three
sons and a daughter.
My
present goals are firstly to improve the assessment and necessity
for spinal surgery in a wide variety of different conditions, particularly
chronic pain and also in the development of improved internal fixation
systems available to achieve such goals. |

LEANNE
HASSETT
|
2005
Menzies Scholar in the Allied Health Sciences
Leanne
Hassett holds the degree of Bachelor of Applied Science
(Physiotherapy) and Master of Health Science (Neurological Physiotherapy)
from the University of Sydney.
Leanne's PhD project is entitled "Fitness
training after traumatic brain injury". Cardiorespiratory
fitness is commonly reduced in people with traumatic brain injury
(TBI) and restricts participation in work and leisure activities. This
project will determine the effectiveness of fitness training for
people with TBI and validate a field test for cardiorespiratory
fitness. It will make a substantial contribution toward evidence-based
rehabilitation for people with TBI.

DR JULIE
HIDES
|
1993 Menzies Scholar
in the Allied Health Sciences
I was
born and raised in Brisbane and studied Physiotherapy at the
University of Queensland. I returned to the Department of Physiotherapy
to complete a Master of Physiotherapy Studies program in Manipulative
Physiotherapy in 1990 and then went on to complete my PhD at
the University of Queensland in 1996. For my PhD, I conducted
a randomised clinical trial that investigated the effect of
low back pain on a deep back muscle (the multifidus), the natural
course of recovery of the muscle and the effectiveness of specific
exercises on multifides muscle recovery and recurrence of symptoms.
On
the basis of this research and that of my three co-researchers
(one of whom is Professor Paul Hodges who was the 1994 Menzies
scholar in the Allied Health Sciences), we established the Joint
Stability Assessment Clinic at the Department of Physiotherapy
at the University of Queensland. I am the Clinical Supervisor of
this research clinic, which assesses the ability of the muscles
to protect the spine and hence provide pain relief and decrease
recurrence of symptoms.
Apart
from this I regularly teach in this area, have co-authored a textbook
and work part time at the Mater Public Hospital in Brisbane.
I also
have a really rather hectic family life. It is a busy life but
a fulfilling one. |

to understand the control of movement and stability and how
this changes when people have pain.
2006: Awarded the ISSLS Prize from the International Society
for the Study of the Lumbar Spine. This is the premier international
prize for back pain research.
Areas of Research Interest
Primary research interests include investigation
the relationship between pain and motor control; the coordination
of the multiple functions of the trunk muscles; the effect of exercise
in interventions on musculoskeletal pain; and the biomechanical mechanisms
for control of the spine. In addition to his research in Brisbane,
Paul has ongoing collaborations with laboratories in Sydney,
Melbourne, Sweden, USA, the Netherlands, Denmark and South Africa.
