Research

My research has so far been focused on epidemiological methods to study the effect of physical activity and other lifestyle factors on risk and prognosis in relation to pain and dysfunction in the back and neck, both in a public health perspective and in a clinical perspective. I also have a specific interest in sports and sports medicine, for example reliability and validity of strength tests.
