With our research, we want to increase our knowledge of how child development and different treatment interventions can affect the lives of children diagnosed with cerebral palsy (CP). Our research group has a broad interdisciplinary approach and is closely connected to the Neuropediatric Clinic at Astrid Lindgren's Children's Hospital, with many international partners.

The research in the "Motor, Sensory and Intervention" team aims to increase knowledge about factors of importance for sitting, standing and walking in children and young people with disabilities. But also about interventions and how they affect motor skills and movement during childhood.

This research aims to understand and evaluate treatments for pediatric orthopedic conditions, focusing primarily on children, and to investigate the long-term impact of these conditions on individuals who were affected during childhood, including their function in adulthood.

The research in the "Experimental Orthopedics" team aims to increase knowledge about the functional and biomechanical consequences of joint injuries, joint diseases, and skeletal deformities in children and adults.

We work to transfer research results and knowledge from clinical and medical research to physiotherapy, occupational therapy, orthopedics, and pediatric neurology, as well as other healthcare science knowledge fields, so that the knowledge can best benefit both children and adults.
The overall goal is to improve diagnostics, facilitate the selection of treatment methods, evaluate treatment outcomes, and ensure the quality of treatment for children and adults with disabilities.
We aim to explore and explain compensatory strategies, facilitating solutions and measures for the best possible participation by:
The clinical Gait Analysis unit, which is a part of the orthopaedic department, is certified according to ISO 9001 since 2010. The research group Motion and Gait analysis is an integrated part of the ISO 9001 certification.
Our goal is to contribute to and transfer research findings from both clinical and medical areas to physiotherapy, ortopedics and orthotics, as well as other associated clinical fields.
The overall aim is to enhance the management level for both children and adults, in particular, to improve diagnosing, simplify choice of treatment, methods, evaluate treatment outcome and assure high treatment quality in children and adults with motor disorder.
We will take part in exploring and explaining compensatory strategies to find solutions and measures for a high participation level:
