Biography
Professor Jennie Scarvell is Clinical Researcher. She is leader of the Clinical Research Rehabilitation and Translation Area of Research Strength in the Faculty of Health https://www.canberra.edu.au/faculties/health/crrt
A Professor of Physiotherapy, she has experience as Associate Dean of Research and Innovation, Deputy Dean of the Faculty, Head of School of Health Sciences, and Head of Physiotherapy within the Faculty of Health, University of Canberra.
Professor Jennie Scarvell has degrees in Physiotherapy, Education and Research (PhD and BAppSc, Physiotherapy (USyd) , GC Higher Ed, Cert Health Econ). As a clinical physiotherapist for 15 years, in Australia and Canada, and senior physiotherapist in outpatients and rheumatology, she developed an interest in interventions for osteoarthritis and chronic pain. Her PhD examined the genesis of osteoarthritis in ACL-injured knees. Jennie was one of the team that developed the Physiotherapy curriculum for the Master of Physiotherapy when it began at University of Canberra in 2004 and was deputy head and clinical education coordinator. Jennie spent 3 years as Clinical Research Coordinator in Orthopaedics at Canberra Hospital and then returned to UC as Head of Physiotherapy in 2011 for the commencement of the Bachelor of Physiotherapy in 2013.
Jennie has 102 publications including 90 in SCOPUS and has supervised 18 HDR students to completion. Research highlights are publications in Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery and presentations at the Combined Orthopaedic Meeting and the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. Jennie has over $1.8 million career grants funding.
Her research focuses on physiotherapy, arthritis and orthopaedics, using medical imaging to analyse joint kinematics. Clinical outcomes studies and intervention trials include physiotherapy for knee osteoarthritis, back pain, hip and knee replacement, and spinal fusion surgery. She is a visiting fellow at the Trauma and Orthopaedic Research Unit at Canberra Hospital.
