Research Interests:
Dr Gregory has undertaken research into injuries sustained by bowlers in cricket. He has compared spin-bowling injuries to fast bowling injuries and looked at the relationship of fast bowling injuries to the number of balls delivered. He is currently researching the characteristics of those patients investigated for spondylolysis. This condition usually arises as a stress fracture of the spine in those involved in sports. Dr Gregory’s work is focusing on the investigations used for this condition, being Single Photon Emission Computerised Tomography (SPECT) and Computerised Tomography (CT).
Additionally, Dr Gregory has written at length on the musculoskeletal conditions of the chest wall and published his opinion on the use of the term “overuse injury” in sports medicine.
