CEREBRA - Clinical Enhanced Rehabilitation and Brain Recovery Advancements

Research within the group is focused on four main areas. 


1.    Mechanisms: focusing on injury localization, plasticity and neuromuscular functions and how these are associated and can predict the course of recovery after acquired brain injury 
2.    Medical technologies: development and testing of new medical technologies for assessment and treatment of motor impairment after acquired brain injury. 
3.    Treatment: evaluation of the effects of using new clinical methods for the rehabilitation of motor impairments after acquired brain injury. 
4.    Implementation: communication of results and facilitation of implementation in clinical practice.
