Dr. Michael Callaghan qualified in 1983 at Salford School of Physiotherapy and is a Research Fellow at Manchester University’s Arthritis Research UK Epidemiology Unit and a Clinical Specialist Physiotherapist in the Emergency Department at Manchester Royal Infirmary. In the sports medicine context he has attended 5 Commonwealth Games and 5 Olympic Games as a physiotherapist, including London 2012, and was physiotherapist to Everton Football Club, Wigan Rugby League Club and the Great Britain Cycling Team.
His general area of research has been the assessment and rehabilitation of the lower limb. This involves the use of MMG, EMG, kinetic gait analysis, proprioceptive testing, isokinetic and isometric muscle testing and electrical stimulation to assess muscle inhibition. He has instigated the first study to assess the use of therapeutic bracing on the patellofemoral joint using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
His research degrees of M.Phil awarded by Liverpool University and Ph.D. at Manchester University focussed the patellofemoral joint in particular. His recent work on patellofemoral pain syndrome has been the further development of functional joint and muscle evaluation and the use of both brain and knee MR imaging to monitor the effects of non-operative treatment for the knee such as taping and bracing. His involvement with the Arthritis Research UK Epidemiology Unit at Manchester University now includes the treatment of patellofemoral pain caused by osteoarthritis and he was involved in a 5 year study of patellofemoral bracing on synovitis and bone marrow oedema in patellofemoral OA; this was the largest ever clinical trial on bracing in patellaofmeoral OA. He is PI for a follow on studies on bracing for patellofemoral OA.
