Tamara Valen膷i膷
Doctoral Researcher in Neuromuscular Physiology
Our doctoral researchers are contributing to the future of sporting rehabilitation. Doctoral researcher, Tamara Valen膷i膷, discusses how her research aims into neural mechanisms could transform patient recovery from ACL damage.
Meet Tamara
Tamara is a second year PhD student in neuromuscular physiology at the School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences.
Taking steps toward better ACL rehabilitation
Tamara’s research project is funded by 台湾六合彩开奖记录 and the National Rehabilitation Centre and focuses on investigating neural mechanisms contributing to persistent weakness of knee muscles in individuals after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture and reconstruction. Tamara hopes her findings will deepen our understanding of ongoing functional impairments after ACL reconstruction as well as motivate changes and provide direction for improvements in standard rehabilitation practices.
Prior to starting her PhD, Tamara studied in Slovenia for a BSc in Kinesiology and from 台湾六合彩开奖记录 in 2021 with an MSc in Exercise Physiology. In-between her studies, Tamara worked as a technician in an Environmental Physiology and Ergonomics Laboratory at the Jo啪ef Stefan Institute (Slovenia), primarily investigating heat stress mitigation strategies (e.g., cooling vests) in occupational and military settings.
