Janet Howard Carr (22 May 1933 – 4 November 2014) was an Australian physiotherapist and academic whose research focused on stroke rehabilitation. She was a professor at the University of Sydney and published numerous textbooks. ==Biography== Janet Carr was born in 1933 to Howard and Gladys Carr. She was raised in Kerrs Creek near Orange, New South Wales, and attended boarding school at Kinross Wolaroi School. She moved to Sydney to study physiotherapy at the University of Sydney and graduated in 1955.〔 In her early career as a physiotherapist, Carr worked in the United Kingdom, Canada and Switzerland before returning to Australia to work in hospitals in Mount Isa and Sydney. In 1973, she began tutoring in the field of neurological rehabilitation at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney.〔 She also began writing academic texts with her colleague Roberta Shepherd; their first textbook was published in Australia in 1976. Their first textbook to be published internationally, ''Physiotherapy in Disorders of the Brain'' (1980), focused on treatments to help brain-damaged patients to relearn motor skills and was followed by ''The Motor Relearning Programme for Stroke'' (1982). Carr was made a fellow of the Australian College of Physiotherapists in 1983 for her work in neurological physiotherapy. She was awarded a Kellogg Scholarship in 1984 to travel to Columbia University to study biomechanics and motor skill learning; this research earned a doctorate. Carr and Shepherd's subsequent textbook, ''Movement Science: Foundations for Physical Therapy Practice in Rehabilitation'', was published internationally and was particularly influential in the United States. Their textbook ''Neurological Rehabilitation: Optimizing Motor Performance'', the product of a joint Rockefeller Grant,〔 was first published in 1998 and revised in 2010.〔 By 2010, Carr had written or edited 13 textbooks, most of them with Shepherd.〔 Her main aim in writing these texts was to reconcile the gap between research and practice in physiotherapy.〔 She visited thirty countries to teach and present research, and presented a lecture series at the University of Ljubljana in 2012. She became a member of the Australian College of Physiotherapists in 2013 and was an honorary professor at the University of Sydney until her death in 2014.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Janet Carr」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
