Joshua Burns PhD

Professor Burns focuses on the musculoskeletal consequences of nerve, muscle and brain disorders. He leads therapeutic research into the care of children and adults with neuromuscular disorders (e.g. Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, Duchenne muscular dystrophy), congenital deformities (e.g. clubfoot, pes cavus), brain injury (e.g. Cerebral Palsy), diabetes (e.g. lower limb amputation prevention), joint disease (e.g. osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis) and pain (e.g. heel pain, muscle cramp, ankle sprains), as well as understanding normal human variation (e.g. 1000 Norms Project).
