Allied health graduates are entering an increasingly complex and demanding workforce. They require a mix of clinical competencies and broader professional skills. Making the transition from the learning environment of university to the workplace can be difficult and challenging. Graduate support programs are common in nursing and medicine, but not in allied health. This case study reports on the implementation and outcomes of a structured program for allied health practitioners making the transition from student to professional. Implications for the health service and for education are discussed.

Purpose: To investigate the relationship between the distribution and severity of hypertonicity and spasticity on walking speed in people with neurological injuries.
Material/methods: This cross-sectional observation cohort study used the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) and Modified Tardieu Scale (MTS) to assess hypertonicity and spasticity of the gastrocnemius, soleus, hamstrings and quadriceps. Participants were classified as having a distal (gastrocnemius and/or soleus), proximal (hamstrings and/or quadriceps) or mixed distribution of hypertonicity or spasticity.
