Cecilia Lidbeck

I am an associate professor, pediatric physiotherapist, PhD, at the Neuropaediatric Unit, Department of Women's and Children's Health, Karolinska Institutet, and at the Motion Analysis Laboratory, Astrid Lindgren Children's Hospital, Karolinska University Hospital. I lead a Team with interprofessional collaboration in Professor Broström´s research group. My research is mainly on exploring motor functioning and walking in children with cerebral palsy and other movement disorders. I have a special interest in movement analysis, and in the sensorimotor relationship that include vision, sensation and perception of importance for movement and posture.
