Philippa Dall is a research fellow in the School of Health with a background in physics and engineering. Her PhD was conducted in the use of Hip-Knee-Ankle-Foot Orthoses used for exercise walking by individuals with spinal cord injury.

Her current research interest is focused on the objective measurement of activity in a free-living environment. This includes the development of measurement tools and novel data analysis techniques, and their application to the elderly population, for upper-limb function, and in the rehabilitation setting.
