Dr. Zohaib Shahid has led and contributed to a diverse portfolio of clinical, academic, and interdisciplinary research projects across rehabilitation sciences. His work spans neurological rehabilitation, musculoskeletal disorders, respiratory training, telerehabilitation, and the psychosocial dimensions of patient care. Key projects include randomized controlled trials comparing Bobath, Neurodevelopmental Treatment, and Task-Oriented approaches in stroke and cerebral palsy; clinical studies evaluating tele-rehabilitation versus home-based programs for balance and quality of life in chronic stroke; and investigations on inspiratory muscle training intensity, cervical radiculopathy, and upper-limb motor recovery. He has conducted analytical and cross-sectional studies on stress, reflective practice, and self-assessment among physical therapy students, as well as research exploring digital health interventions, ergonomics, pelvic-floor exercise adherence, and communication–motor relationships in cerebral palsy. His work also extends to meta-analyses on stroke rehabilitation, biomarkers in rheumatoid arthritis, sepsis, and lupus, and emerging topics such as virtual reality–based cognitive rehabilitation and ultrasound-assisted gene therapy. Collectively, these projects demonstrate Dr. Shahid’s commitment to advancing evidence-based, patient-centered rehabilitation through innovative clinical trials, systematic reviews, and interdisciplinary collaborations.
