  • Parkinson's disease mechanisms and treatments
  • Stroke rehabilitation and recovery
  • Neurological disorders and treatments
  • Dementia and cognitive impairment research
  • Diabetic foot ulcer assessment and management

Among their recent publications are:

  • "Long-term unsupervised mobility assessment in movement disorders" (2020) published in The Lancet Neurology
  • "Developing a roadmap to improve trial delivery for under-served groups: results from a UK multi-stakeholder process" (2020) published in Trials
  • "Resistance exercise as a treatment for sarcopenia: prescription and delivery" (2022) published in Age and Ageing
  • "Research with older people in a world with COVID-19: identification of current and future priorities, challenges and opportunities" (2020) published in Age and Ageing
  • "A Roadmap to Inform Development, Validation and Approval of Digital Mobility Outcomes: The Mobilise-D Approach" (2020) published in Digital Biomarkers

Lynn frequently collaborates with other researchers including Silvia Del Din, Lisa Alcock, Alison J. Yarnall, Walter Maetzler, and Clemens Becker.

Their research is commonly published in venues such as Sensors, Alzheimer's & Dementia, Movement Disorders, Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), and BMJ Open, with significant contributions in journals relevant to neurological medicine and rehabilitation.
