I graduated as a physiotherapist in 1990 and completed my PhD at Umeå University in 2006. My thesis was about evaluating the effects of intensive arm and hand training (Constraint Induced Movement Therapy) after stroke.

My current research, which I conduct together with several postdocs, is primarily about rehabilitation in neurological injuries and diseases. I also lead projects where we evaluate and further develop different measurement instruments and rating scales, evaluate the effects of different training methods and factors that affect falls and fear of falling.
