Katrina Liddiard graduated from Curtin University as an occupational therapist in 1987 and has worked in a broad range of clinical areas. While specialising in burns and hand therapy in the mid to late 1990s, Katrina developed an interest in the role of the occupational therapist in pain management. As a clinical consultant for 14 years Katrina had the rare opportunity to explore new technologies for rehabilitation, including InterX, which she introduced into the Perth therapy community. Now a full time lecturer in occupational therapy at Edith Cowan University, Katrina has been conducting research into the self-management of pain using InterX for patients with hand burns. Katrina chairs the Consumer Education sub-group of the Pain Health Working Group in Western Australia, and established an Occupational Therapy Pain Special Interest Group in WA.
