Teaching
Karyn teaches at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels in the area of knee-ankle-foot orthotics, hip and foot orthotics and ethics pertaining to healthcare research. Additonally, she develops and delivers continuing professional development courses for medical and allied health professionals in the area of lower limb orthotic rehabilitation as part of the departmental portfolio of short courses.
Research Interests
Karyn has conducted cross faculty action research in teaching, learning and assessment with an emphasis in the development of emotional intelligence of undergraduate students of prosthetic and orthotic science. She has also undertaken research into the area of prosthetic componentry resulting in patent publication. Karyn is currently the principal investigator for a suite of research projects funded by Versus Arthritis investigating the use of orthoses in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. In particular, the project has developed an enhanced design of wrist-hand orthosis for patients with dysfunction of the wrist/hand as a result of arthritic changes. A license agreement and ongoing colloboration with TalarMade will now facilitate the process of bringing this product to market.
