Research

My PhD-projekt is based on the Karolinska Handball Study (KHAST) a
prospective cohort study aiming to identify risk factors for shoulder

In May 2018 we started an RCT to evaluate the effect of a shoulder
strengthening program and a knee controll program on risk factors (KHAST
2.0). The study will end in May 2019.
Beside of epidemiological studie I also do research in throwing
biomechanics.
