Profile

Joy MacDermid is a physical therapist, hand therapist, epidemiologist, and holds a Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) New Investigator Award. She is an Associate Professor (School of Rehabilitation Science) and Assistant Dean of Rehabilitation Science Graduate Programs at McMaster University.  Joy is also Co-director of the Clinical Research Lab within the Hand and Upper Limb Centre (HULC). She is cross-appointed to Departments of Surgery and Epidemiology at both McMaster University and the University of Western Ontario.

Her research projects emphasize multidisciplinary approaches to enhancing prevention, assessment, and management of musculoskeletal problems:

  • Musculoskeletal disability (upper extremity/neck),
  • Design and conduct of randomized clinical trials and cohort studies (Risk/ Prevention/Effectiveness studies)
  • Clinical measurement of pain and disability (performance and self-report)
  • Work-related disorders and work disability
  • Clinical epidemiology
  • Clinical practice guidelines
  • Knowledge exchange and transfer.
