Leeanne Carey is Professor of Occupational Therapy at La Trobe University and Founding Head of the Neurorehabilitation and Recovery research group at The Florey. Her program of stroke research focuses on: stroke recovery; brain function and plasticity; restorative rehabilitation; and knowledge translation. Professor Carey has led several major cohort, intervention, and implementation clinical trials. She has developed a successful, neuroscience-based approach to help survivors of stroke regain a sense of touch so that they can use their hands more effectively in daily activities. She has also investigated the impact of depression and cognition on stroke recovery. An important focus has been to translate these discoveries into clinical practice and better outcomes for survivors of stroke.
