We are currently working with physiotherapists and patients following Anterior Cruciate Ligament reconstruction to explore the feasibility of a randomised controlled trial assessing the benefits of TRAK in a clinical setting. We aim to understand:

• How to make the best use of TRAK as a treatment tool to support physiotherapy?
• What are the potential benefits to patients, clinicians and the NHS?

• NIHR Clinical Doctoral Research Fellowship (2017) Development of a model of service delivery to for anterior cruciate ligament rehabilitation in the NHS and testing the feasibility of TRAK, a digital intervention to support delivery of this model. Grant total: £400K.
• Health Foundation (2017) Regional spread and dissemination of TRAK eHealth intervention for musculoskeletal conditions in primary care. Grant total: £30K.
• Health Foundation (2015-2016) Implementation of TRAK to develop eRehab for knee conditions: A web-based application suite to support self-management in rehabilitation. Grant total: £70K.
