About me

  • Registered physiotherapist, specialist competence in orthopedics, PhD,
    Associate Professor of Physiotherapy. Currently conducting research at the
    Department of Women’s and Children’s Health, and working clinically in
    the Motion Analysis Lab at Karolinska University Hospital. My clinical and
    research interests include evaluating the impact of musculoskeletal disease
    and injury on movement and gait patterns.

    In 2017 I defended my thesis entitled: “Evaluation of function in
    individuals with knee osteoarthritis”. The overall aim of the thesis was to
    evaluate methods used to objectively assess function, including gait
    patterns, movement strategies, and performance-based function – in
    individuals with knee osteoarthritis.

    Affiliated to University of Southern Denmark, Odense, Department of Clinical
    Research, since 2020.

Research

  • Ongoing research projects
    * BIOFUNC: The project aims to investigate relationships between clinical
    presentation, measures of pain and function, and presence of biomarkers in
    individuals with osteoarthritis. We also want to explore whether these
    measures can be used to subtype osteoarthritis, and predict treatment
    effects and trajectory of disease progression.
    * Can we predict recurrence of foot deformity in children with clubfoot?
    * Evaluation of walking ability and gait patterns in children with skeletal
    dysplasia.
    * Effect of non-surgical treatment on movement patterns in individuals with
    femoroacetabular impingement (in collaboration with University of Southern
    Denmark).
