Educational qualification + Key Highlights:
Dr. Rajani Mullerpatan (B.Sc. Physiotherapy 1992; M.Sc. Physiotherapy 1995, Mumbai University; PhD Cardiff University, UK, 2007) is presently a Professor in Physiotherapy and Director of MGM School of Physiotherapy and MGM Centre of Human Movement Science at MGM Institute of Health Sciences, Navi Mumbai.

Dr.Mullerpatan is an aspiring Human Movement Scientist and Physiotherapist in India, trying to explore movement forms of Yoga, traditional Indian sports, dance and daily activity for evidence-based integration of these movement forms in the efforts designed for culturally palatable health promotion strategies for attenuation of the burden of non-communicable diseases and collateral promotion of Indian heritage in movement among the younger generation. Parallel collaborative research with engineers continues in design and validation of technology for rehabilitation which can be used for the masses in rural and urban sector to address unmet needs in healthcare.

She has published and reviewed research work in the area of clinical biomechanics and rehabilitation.

Currently she is focused on development of Biomechanics in India to meet local healthcare needs of Indian population. She has collaborated with leading national and international institutions in UK, Canada & Australia to promote training and research in health promotion, clinical biomechanics, clinical rehabilitation and technology design. In her role as an academician she has mentored 4 PhD and 26 MPT scholars. She has worked towards development of 5 technologies of which one has been successfully transferred to Industry. Her passion and commitment along with a dedicated Team drives activities of clinical service, research and training at MGM Centre of Human Movement Science & MGM School of Physiotherapy Navi Mumbai.

Educational qualification:
I have completed Master of Physiotherapy (MPTh) in Musculoskeletal Sciences in 2018 under MGM School of Physiotherapy, Navi Mumbai after perusing Bachelor of Physiotherapy under same institution from 2010-2015.

Experience:
: I have 4 years of experience in clinical and research & 2 years of academic experience specialized in musculoskeletal physiotherapy.
I explored my abilities in the domain of patient care from Hiramongi hospital, Mulund since 2015 after pursuing Bachelor of Physiotherapy.
During the course of postgraduation, my thesis focused on evaluation of palmar abduction in three wrist positions amongst healthy Indian adults.
I have been working in MGM School of Physiotherapy, Navi Mumbai since August 2019. I am currently working as a clinic supervisor for World Spine Care Clinic at MGM Hospital Kamothe, Navi Mumbai in collaboration with World Spine Care, Europe.
I am currently responsible for academic co-ordination of final year BPT students, In charge of criteria V (Student support & Progression), MGM School of Physiotherapy for National Assessment and Accreditation Council; clinical services offered by department of Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy; COVID ICU, COVID wards & Special wards. I have guided one undergraduate research project and supervised three postgraduate students. I am actively involved in teaching and training of undergraduate and postgraduate students in courses of Anatomy, Biochemistry, Kinesiology and Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy. I am the course co- ordinator for value added course (Road Safety & Traffic Rules) and Ergonomics course.

My research interests include assessment and rehabilitation of spine. I am currently working on:

• Effect of Yogasana on neck pain intensity, neck muscle strength, fear avoidance belief questionnaire and self-rated neck disability index among sedentary workers with chronic mechanical neck pain.
• Comparison of effectiveness of Suryanamaskar and exercise on pain, strength, function and psychosocial factors in patients with chronic non- specific low back pain
