About me

  • I am a registered physiotherapist and senior lecturer (associate professor) at the Division of Physiotherapy, ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Physiotherapy from ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ in 2008, followed by a Master’s in Medical Science in 2012 and a PhD in Medical Sciences in 2016. My doctoral research focused on balance control in older adults with Parkinson’s disease, exploring the effects of medication and exercise. After completing my PhD, I undertook postdoctoral training at McGill University’s Human Brain Control of Locomotion Lab in Montreal, Canada.

     

    My clinical and research interests center on rehabilitation and health promotion interventions, with a particular emphasis on physical activity and secondary prevention services for people living with neurological diseases. I conduct both experimental and interventional studies in these areas. In addition to my academic role, I hold a clinical position as a physiotherapist at Karolinska University Hospital and contribute to the operational team of the uMOVE core facility at ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡.

Research

  • My research focuses on health promotion and targeted secondary prevention strategies for individuals with neurological conditions such as stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA), Parkinson’s disease, and spinal cord injury. Specifically, I investigate tailored physical exercise interventions and technology-enhanced strategies to support long-term physical activity.

     

    A key area of my work is the development of individualized mobile health (mHealth) interventions designed to promote physical activity after stroke or TIA. The goals of this research program include:

    • Collaborating with key stakeholders to develop accessible and individually tailored mHealth services for physical activity promotion.
    • Evaluating the feasibility and efficacy of new mHealth interventions through multi-center clinical trials.
    • Conducting patient registry-based assessments to determine the long-term impact and cost-effectiveness of mHealth interventions.

     

    I am also actively engaged in global health research, particularly in understanding rehabilitation outcomes across diverse healthcare settings. This includes collaboration with Associate Professor Conran Joseph (Stellenbosch University) on the project Health Systems for Stroke and Spinal Cord Injury in Sweden and South Africa – A Public Health Perspective on Research and Education. This initiative aims to compare healthcare processes and long-term outcomes for stroke and spinal cord injury in South Africa and Sweden, contributing to improved rehabilitation services globally.

Teaching

  • I have a strong interest in education and actively engage in teaching and supervising students at the bachelor's, master's, and PhD levels. My teaching expertise lies in digital physiotherapy, methods for assessing physical activity, and interventions to promote physical activity among individuals with neurological diseases or injuries.

     

    I serve as the course leader for the advanced-level course Remote Physiotherapy – A Physiotherapeutic Perspective (7.5 hp), which equips physiotherapists with the skills to evaluate and treat patients remotely using digital tools. Additionally, I have extensive experience teaching clinical and objective measurement tools for assessing movement quality and physical activity. My responsibilities include course coordination and development, lecturing, leading practical seminars, and serving as an examiner and moderator.

     

    In the context of global health, I am committed to internationalizing education to enhance its quality and inclusivity. Through collaboration with Stellenbosch University, we are working to define universal learning outcomes and develop teaching strategies that promote cultural sensitivity and address global health challenges.
