Biography
Dr Chipchase is the Foundation Chair of Physiotherapy at the School of Science and Health, University of Western Sydney. She completed her PhD at the University of South Australia in 2007, and then established her research track record at the University of Queensland, prior to joining the University of Western Sydney. Her research has two main foci. First, Dr Chipchase uses non-invasive brain stimulation techniques to probe the motor cortex to determine the neuromodulatory effects of techniques used in neuromusculoskeletal rehabilitation. In the past three years, Dr Chipchase has demonstrated that peripheral electrical stimulation, when applied with clinical paradigms modulates the motor and sensory cortices dependant on parameter selection. In addition, she has collaborated with world leaders in the field of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation to develop a TMS Methodological Checklist by which to appraise research using TMS to study the motor cortex. Second, she has a strong track record in evaluation and research within education. She has held a prestigious UQ Teaching Fellowship and a U21 Teaching and Learning Fellowship. Her work evaluates teaching and learning innovations in entry-level and post professional physiotherapy education particularly the use of digital tools. She has published in the area of graduate preparedness, curriculum, interprofessional education and clinical education.
