Experience Neurological Rehabilitation at ECU.
Stroke, traumatic brain injury or spinal cord injury can have large impacts on the ability to move independently. In a new laboratory at ECU Joondalup, Professor Dylan Edwards uses robotic therapy to better understand mobility in people who have suffered a stroke, traumatic brain injury or spinal cord injury.
The laboratory is home to Australia's first KINARM Exoskeleton, a $300,000 machine that combines robotics and virtual reality and allows researchers to quantify and provide a broad range of hand and joint-based information.
Professor Edwards is seeking to develop the understanding of these conditions, leading to the design of new interventions to aid recovery.
Scholarships recognise those whose life journey may have been challenging, as well as students who've shown outstanding academic excellence and endeavour.
A scholarship can help you realise your ambitions by paying for fees, text books and living expenses.
ECU's neuroscience research includes Alzheimer's disease, stroke and other acquired brain injury, Huntington's disease, spinal cord injury, neuro-rehabilitation and autism.
This ground-breaking work is reflected by ECU being the only Western Australian university to receive the highest possible Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) rating in this field.
ECU also provides high-quality neuroscience postgraduate courses taught by experienced academics and clinical experts who work closely with industry partners.

ECU Neurological Rehabilitation student
I discovered that the Masters course would enable me to deepen my existing skills
After discussing my options, I discovered that the Masters in Neurological Rehabilitation would enable me to deepen my existing skills and get acquainted with contemporary and evidence-based practices relevant to my practice. The best part is being able to connect with other specialists and allied health professionals to learn their perspectives.

The knowledge I have learned has really improved my capabilities and I have noticed a confidence in my practice
I am currently working in physiotherapy and wanted to specialise in neurological rehabilitation. I chose ECU as it was the only university in WA offering postgrad studies designed for increasing knowledge in neurological rehabilitation.
I am enjoying studying online and the weekly modules are motivating. The content is relevant and thought provoking, and there are are plenty of opportunities to collaborate with peers using the discussion board.
