Research groups
Any research groups you belong to will automatically appear on your profile. Speak to your line manager if these are incorrect. Please do not raise a ticket in Ask HR.
Research interests
Add up to 5 research interests. The first 3 will appear in your staff profile next to your name. The full list will appear on your research page. Keep these brief and focus on the keywords people may use when searching for your work. Use a different line for each one.
In Pure (opens in a new tab), select ‘Edit profile’. Under the heading 'Curriculum and research description', select 'Add profile information'. In the dropdown menu, select 'Research interests: use separate lines'.
Current research
Update this in Pure (opens in a new tab). Select ‘Edit profile’ and then ‘Curriculum and research description - Current research’.
Describe your current research in 100 to 200 words. Write in the third person. Include broad key terms to help people discover your work, for example, “sustainability” or “fashion textiles”.
Research projects
Research Council funded projects will automatically appear here. The active project name is taken from the finance system.
Publications
Public outputs that list you as an author will appear here, once they’re validated by the ePrints Team. If you’re missing any outputs that you’ve added to Pure, they may be waiting for validation.

Biography
Dr Ann-Marie Hughes is an Associate Professor within the Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Southampton. Ann-Marie’s research streams are centred on her understanding of movement assessment and user needs for innovative flexible rehabilitation technologies as well as their wider ethical, legal and societal implications, focussing on trust. She has used these to lead engineering design and evaluation of technologies, for assessment and development of international guidelines, as well as regularly contributing to the Royal College of Physicians UK Stroke Guidelines. These skills have also driven the design of multidisciplinary, research-led education and stakeholder engagement.
Her research has evolved from manual to instrumented movement assessment and the development, application and user perspectives of novel technologies primarily to improve arm and trunk movement for people with mainly neurological conditions such as stroke and multiple sclerosis. These technologies have included Electrical Stimulation (ES), Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation (NIBS), Wearable and Rehabilitation Robotics, Telerehabilitation, Constraint Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT), and Movement Sensors.
Currently, her work is increasingly focussed on flexible technologies and the use of autonomous systems within healthcare which can be used by patients both in clinics and in the home environments.
Her international transdisciplinary work has been facilitated by her diverse background with a PhD in Electronics and Electrical Engineering, an MSc in Information Systems, and a BSc and clinical experience in Physiotherapy (specialising in neurology) which have given her a unique perspective. She is frequently invited to give international guest lectures, keynotes and to join research collaborations. Previously she led a European grant to develop an MSc in Advanced Rehabilitation Technologies with 10 European Universities across Finland, France, Ireland, Italy, The Netherlands, Rumania, Scotland and Switzerland. The programme is now being run in Paris and Milan.
