About me

  • Physiotherapist and senior researcher.
    I received my PhD from Karolinska Institutet Sweden in 2001 and became
    associate professor in Physiotherapy in 2010. My clinical as well as research
    experiences expands over several European countries in congenital and
    neurodevelopmental disabilities in children.

Research

  • .
    My research fields include neuro-orthopedic diagnoses where findings
    regarding gait and orthoses have been implemented in clinic. In children with
    brain lesions, the perceptual-motor system perspective has come to determine
    my view of motor development, also as a book-author. The research articles on
    the above mentioned subjects cover methods from laboratory gait and motion
    analysis to prospective follow-up studies and parent-reported quality of
    live, to working memory in the reaching and navigational spaces.
