MANDY BARNIE: Physiotherapist Graduate of Griffith University (Gold Coast, QLD Australia) Bachelor Physiotherapy/Bachelor Exercise Science dual degree in The majority of my clinical experience has been gained from working within the specialist multidisciplinary team of the Statewide Paediatric Rehabilitation Service at the Royal Children's Hospital in Brisbane managing children with acquired brain injury, spinal cord injury and amputation, as well as cerebral palsy and a variety of other neurological and neuromuscular conditions. I worked routinely with orthotists and prosthetists within and external to this service, particularly in my role designated to the Paediatric Limb Deficiency and Amputee clinic at the Royal Children's Hospital, and Paediatric Rehabilitation Outreach Service visiting rural communities across Queensland. I moved to New Zealand to commence employment with the National Child Rehabilitation Service at the Wilson Centre in January 2011, and amongst other roles as a senior clinician commenced my position with the National Gait Laboratory Service. I ve also completed the NSW University prosthetics course; and have had a role in teaching assessment and management of spasticity and contracture in the child with cerebral palsy at various centres across QLD.

3 MARK LEONIDA: Dip. O.P. T. E. C, HPC MBAPO Specialist Orthotist Mark graduated from the Marylebone School of Orthotics & Prosthetics in 1986 and specialising in Paediatric Neuro-Orthopaedics in South East Thames area. After his initial experience with orthotics in New Zealand in , he returned to the UK where his career led him to Queen Marys University hospital, leading the Diabetic Foot regional clinic, this included working with a group of regional specialists in Rehabilitation services for many years. Included in this was working with The One Small Step Gait Lab for 10 years at Guy s Hospital. In 2000, after identifying his interest in sports injuries, Mark, later founded and became Clinical Director of the Technology in Motion private biomechanics clinic, where he spent several years assessing first division football players and undertook assessments for RFU members. He introduced the use of force-plate and video analysis into the clinics for all biomechanical assessments. Although, still clinical director and owner of Motionlab Ltd, he returned to New Zealand in 2009, to relax and enjoy the country he loved for so many years and has accepted the role of Clinical Manager at the Orthotic Centre, where he concentrates on client services and manufacturing Specialised Orthotics.
