About
Alannah M. Sheridan is a physiotherapy researcher whose work centers on optimizing motor recovery in children with acquired brain injury (ABI). Her primary research areas include motor learning strategies (MLS), pediatric neurorehabilitation, and the development of reliable clinical assessment tools. Sheridan’s major contribution lies in advancing the measurement and documentation of how physiotherapists apply MLS during treatment sessions. Her most-cited paper (2021, 9 citations) established the inter- and intrarater reliability of the Revised Motor Learning Strategies Rating Instrument, providing clinicians with a validated tool to describe and quantify the motor learning content of therapy. This foundational work is critical for linking specific therapeutic techniques to functional outcomes in pediatric ABI. By creating a standardized method to analyze MLS use, Sheridan enables researchers to move toward evidence-based protocols that enhance skill acquisition and neuroplasticity in young patients. Her research bridges a key gap between clinical practice and rigorous evaluation, offering a replicable framework for future studies. Sheridan’s achievements underscore her commitment to improving rehabilitation quality for children with neurological injuries, making her a valuable voice in pediatric physiotherapy research.
