Facial Physio - Dr C Terry & Dr F French, London Met. University and Patient Participant Neil Morrison

This tremendous research collaboration at the London Metropolitan University aims to tackle one of the most distressing but neglected symptoms of Parkinson's - Facial Masking. Dr Cassie Terry, Reader in Protein Pathology and Dr Fiona French, Associate Professor of Computing and Digital Media, are developing a virtual reality application to rehabilitate facial muscles and help bring back the ability of a patient's face to reflect their feelings and personality. NoSPRIG member Neil Morrison, diagnosed with Parkison's in 2018, has been involved since the start.
