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.
