Farseen Mohammed P Builds a Research-Oriented Career in Evidence-Based Physiotherapy
Malappuram, Kerala / Mangaluru, Karnataka: Farseen Mohammed P is developing a professional career that combines physiotherapy practice, neurorehabilitation and clinical research, with a particular interest in evidence-based physiotherapy.
As a specialist physiotherapist in neurosciences, his academic activities include systematic reviews, scoping reviews, evidence synthesis and clinical intervention research. His work reflects an interest in understanding rehabilitation approaches through scientific evidence and applying research knowledge to physiotherapy.
Academic Foundation
Farseen Mohammed P completed his Bachelor of Physiotherapy (BPT) from the Co-operative Institute of Health Sciences, Thalassery, affiliated with the Kerala University of Health Sciences.
He later pursued a Master of Physiotherapy in Neurosciences at Yenepoya Physiotherapy College, Yenepoya (Deemed to be University), Mangaluru.
His postgraduate specialization is focused on neurophysiotherapy and neurorehabilitation, areas that have become central to his clinical and research interests.
He also completed a Post Graduate Diploma in Nutrition, broadening his academic background in health and rehabilitation.
Understanding Evidence in Physiotherapy
Evidence-based physiotherapy involves integrating available research evidence with professional clinical knowledge and the individual requirements of patients.
For Farseen, research methodology has become an important component of his professional development.
His research activities include:
- Systematic reviews
- Scoping reviews
- Evidence synthesis
- Clinical intervention research
- Scientific presentations
- Rehabilitation research
These areas allow him to explore questions related to neurological rehabilitation, therapeutic exercise and functional recovery.
Research in Stroke Rehabilitation
Stroke rehabilitation is one of the prominent areas in Farseen Mohammed P’s research portfolio.
His postgraduate dissertation examined:
“Effect of Eccentric Versus Concentric Strengthening on Functional Mobility in Subacute Stroke Patients: A Randomized Parallel-Group Comparative Study.”
The study investigated strengthening approaches in relation to functional mobility following subacute stroke.
His research interests also include a systematic review titled “Effectiveness of Eccentric Strengthening Interventions on Functional Outcomes in Adults After Stroke.”
Recognition for Research
Farseen’s research activities received recognition at SYNERGOS 2026, where he won the First Prize in the Oral Paper Presentation, Postgraduate Category.
His presentation, titled “Effectiveness of Eccentric Strengthening Interventions in Stroke Rehabilitation: A Systematic Review,” was presented on 9 May 2026 at Girideepam Convention Centre, Thiruvananthapuram.
The recognition represents an important milestone in his postgraduate research and scientific presentation activities.
Research in Parkinson’s Disease
Farseen Mohammed P has also contributed to research related to Parkinson’s disease rehabilitation.
He is listed as the second author and corresponding author of the 2026 scoping review:
“Timing of Dopaminergic Medication Relative to Physiotherapy Delivery in Adults with Parkinson’s Disease: A Scoping Review.”
The research examines literature concerning the timing of dopaminergic medication relative to physiotherapy delivery in adults with Parkinson’s disease.
The work forms part of his wider interest in neurological rehabilitation and evidence-based clinical practice.
Continuing Research Projects
Farseen’s research portfolio includes several ongoing projects.
His systematic review interests include the effectiveness of eccentric strengthening interventions following stroke, exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation and cardiovascular autonomic and cerebral outcomes, as well as exercise interventions related to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.
His scoping review interests also include tracking-based motor training for motor learning and functional recovery following stroke.
These projects demonstrate a research portfolio extending across neurological, cardiovascular, metabolic and exercise-related rehabilitation topics.
Training in Research Methodology
Farseen has continued to strengthen his research skills through professional education.
In August 2026, he participated in a five-day hands-on workshop on Systematic Review & Meta-Analysis at an international level.
He has also completed a certification workshop concerning Indian Good Clinical Practice Guidelines, organized by Yenepoya Ethics Committee-3 and Yenepoya Physiotherapy College.
Earlier professional development included training in health science research and publication.
Connecting Clinical Training and Research
Research is complemented by Farseen’s clinical experience.
During postgraduate training at Yenepoya Medical College Hospital, Mangaluru, he gained clinical exposure to neurological conditions including stroke, Parkinson’s disease, traumatic brain injury, Guillain–Barré syndrome and spinal cord disorders.
His training included exposure to Neurodevelopmental Treatment, Motor Relearning Programme and task-oriented training.
This clinical background provides context for his research interests in functional recovery and rehabilitation.
Scientific Communication
Farseen Mohammed P has also participated in academic conferences as a scientific presenter.
At Mangalore PhysioCon 2026, he presented his research on eccentric versus concentric strengthening and functional mobility in subacute stroke patients.
His involvement in scientific presentations has provided opportunities to communicate rehabilitation research to professional audiences.
A Developing Academic-Clinical Profile
Farseen Mohammed P’s professional journey combines postgraduate specialization, clinical rehabilitation experience and research methodology.
His focus on evidence-based physiotherapy is reflected in his involvement with systematic reviews, scoping reviews, clinical research and scientific presentations.
As he continues to develop his academic and professional portfolio, his research interests remain centered on neurorehabilitation, therapeutic exercise, stroke rehabilitation, Parkinson’s disease rehabilitation and evidence-based physiotherapy.
