Professor Rob Herbert initially trained as a physiotherapist. He completed a PhD under the supervision of Professor Simon Gandevia. Subsequently Rob and Simon have collaborated on research projects investigating fundamental physiological mechanisms and mechanisms of motor impairment for over 15 years. Rob also has an interest in clinical research and conducts randomised trials investigating the effects of physical interventions for motor impairment. He was a founding Director of the Centre for Evidence-Based Physiotherapy, which maintains the PEDro database (www.pedro.org.au), a unique database of randomised trials, systematic reviews and clinical practice guidelines in physiotherapy.
