Professor Stephen Lord
Professor Stephen Lord is a Senior Principal Research Fellow
at Neuroscience Research Australia, Sydney, Australia. He has
published over 300 papers in the areas of applied physiology,
instability, falls and fractures in older people and is
acknowledged as a leading international researcher in his field.
His research follows two main themes: the identification of
physiologi-cal risk factors for falls and the development and
evaluation of falls prevention strategies. A key aspect of this
research has been the design, implementation and evaluation
of exercise programs for the general population of older people
as well as for those identified as being at increased risk of falls,
i.e. people with Parkinson’s disease, stroke, dementia and
frailty. His methodology and approach to fall-risk assessment
has been adopted by many researchers and clinicians across
the world and he is actively engaged in initiatives aimed at
implementing falls prevention evidence into policy and practice.
Syncope

1200 Meeting Close
Dr Zbigniew Gieroba
Dr Gieroba has studied baroreflex and syncope since 1983,
completing his PhD in 1989. In 1989 he arrived from Poland to
Australia, invited by Professor Bill Blessing, to be involved in
research funded by the Australian Heart Foundation. There he
investigated central pathways involved in baroreflex. In 2003 he
underwent training in the Syncope Clinic, Cardiovascular
Investigation Unit, University of Newcastle, U.K. (with Professor
Rose Anne Kenny). He was also involved in the research project
“Head up tilt test is safe in all age groups”. In 2005 he helped
establish the Syncope Clinic at the Repatriation General Hospital.
