Research

  • My research focus on risk factors and prevention of shoulder injuires in 

  • adolescent handball players.
    My PhD-projekt is based on the Karolinska Handball Study (KHAST) a
    prospective cohort study aiming to identify risk factors for shoulder
    injuires in elite adolescent handball players.
    In May 2018 we started an RCT to evaluate the effect of a shoulder
    strengthening program and a knee controll program on risk factors (KHAST
    2.0). The study will end in May 2019.
    Beside of epidemiological studie I also do research in throwing
    biomechanics.

Teaching

  • I regualry teach approximatly 250 hours pers year in the fields of sports
    medicine, biomechanics and scientific methods for undergraduates and master
    students. In addition I teach workshops with a specific focus on the
    "thrower´s schoulder".
