About

I am a physiotherapist with Phd and is especially interested in aging and how we can use tailored exercise- and physical activity programs to improve health related quality of life, physical function and reduce falls among older adults with chronic disease living in the community.  In addition our research have focus on how we can implement research based interventions to prevent falls among older adults.
