joint appointment as a senior lecturer at Karolinska Institutet and
physiotherapist with specialist competence at the Karolinska University
Hospital. I am adjunct professor at the University of Southern Denmark. I

with care. Since then I have combined research and teaching. I am 

My research is interdisciplinary and I have several ongoing interdisciplinary
collaborations both nationally in different regions of Sweden and
internationally in high-, low-, and middle income countries such as Denmark,
USA and Uganda. My research is clinically based and in several projects I
use co-creation/co-design with patients and healthcare providers in the
development, evaluation and implementation of complex interventions. I
collaborate with several research teams in studies of the effects of
neurological disease on health, function, activity and participation in
society. I study individuals' need for and satisfaction with health care
interventions, as well as their utilization of these interventions. I also
study how the patients' needs and concerns are captured by health care and
the importance of person-centred rehabilitation.

I have experience in teaching and supervision at undergraduate, graduate and
postgraduate level, mainly at the Physiotherapy program and course leader
