Rate My Professor Jeric Uy

Dr. Jeric Uy serves as a Lecturer in Physiotherapy within the School of Allied Health and Human Performance at Adelaide University's College of Health. Possessing over three decades of expertise in physiotherapy encompassing clinical practice, research, and education, Dr. Uy earned his Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy from the University of Santo Tomas in the Philippines (1988-1993), Master of Applied Science in Manipulative Physiotherapy from the University of South Australia (1996-1997), Doctor of Philosophy in Neuroscience from the University of Adelaide (2002-2005), and a Certificate in Orthopedic Rehabilitation from the University of Melbourne (1995). His academic responsibilities include delivering rehabilitation and neuroscience curricula for both undergraduate and graduate-entry physiotherapy programs. Dr. Uy's clinical emphasis lies in rehabilitating stroke and movement disorders, integrating advanced technologies, and he concurrently operates a private practice focused on neurological and vestibular rehabilitation.

Dr. Uy's research specializes in neuroplasticity, stroke rehabilitation, and rehabilitation technologies. Notable contributions include co-authoring "Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation modifies cortical excitability in middle-aged and older adults" published in Psychophysiology (2025), "Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation to treat chronic tinnitus: a feasibility study" in Speech, Language and Hearing (2025), "Boot camp: a randomized cross-over trial of intensive upper-limb rehabilitation after chronic stroke" in Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair (2025), "Clinical application of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation: a scoping review" in Disability and Rehabilitation (2024), "Moderate intensity aerobic exercise may enhance neuroplasticity of the contralesional hemisphere after stroke: a randomised controlled study" in Scientific Reports (2023), and earlier works such as "Stability of maps of human motor cortex made with transcranial magnetic stimulation" in Brain Topography (2002) and "Does induction of plastic change in motor cortex improve leg function after stroke?" in Neurology (2003). He secured funding from ECH Incorporated for implementing a client-centred wellness model for stroke survivors (2016-2017).
