Research:
Professor Dinah Reddihough's main research interest is in the area childhood disability, particularly cerebral palsy. Her multidisciplinary research program is focused on gaining an improved understanding of both the causes of childhood disabilities and the optimal interventions for them.
The ultimate goal is to improve outcomes and quality of life for children with disabilities and their families. The approaches used include collection of epidemiological data, conduct of randomised trials and development of measurement tools.
Professor Reddihough established the Victorian Cerebral Palsy Register which has grown to be one of the largest cerebral palsy databases both nationally and internationally, and is the basis for many of the studies that are undertaken. The Register has generated 66 publications over the past 20 years. Many of the studies have resulted in changes in clinical practice, for example, the finding that children with severe cerebral palsy require more regular hip X-rays than those with mild cerebral palsy, has enabled establishment of hip surveillance guidelines for the frequency of hip X-ray examination.
Randomised trials have demonstrated the value of treatments such as home based intervention for young children with developmental delay, and the benefits of botulinum toxin for saliva control. The measurement tools, now used both nationally and internationally, include the Melbourne Assessment of Unilateral Upper Limb Function, the Cerebral Palsy Quality of Life Questionnaire for Children and the Drooling Impact Scale, these were developed in collaboration with a number of groups. Most recently Dinah was the Chief investigator on the National Health and Medical Research Council funded Centre for Research Excellence in cerebral palsy.
