His research interests are centered on musculoskeletal disorders, particularly anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, nonunion bone healing, extracorporeal shockwave therapy, and patient-reported outcomes. He investigates biomechanics, treatment decision-making, and patient experiences in rehabilitation. His work emphasizes evidence-based practice, movement analysis, and improving functional outcomes after orthopedic injuries.

The recent publications highlight a strong focus on ACL rehabilitation, including jump-landing techniques, treatment choices, and patient perspectives. Other key areas include nonunion healing with shockwave therapy and biomechanical assessments of gait and footwear. His research spans qualitative, quantitative, and clinical case studies, reflecting a multidisciplinary approach to physiotherapy and rehabilitation.

Scientific contributions include:

• Active research from 2006 to 2024 with over 66 publications
• Key topics: ACL reconstruction, nonunion, patient experience, biomechanics
• Publications in journals such as PLOS ONE, The Knee, and Physiotherapy Theory and Practice
• Participation in Nordic and international physiotherapy research forums

He has been involved in teaching, conference organization, and professional memberships, including Foreningen Fodforum. His activities include external lectures, reliability studies in spinal assessment, and movement analysis workshops. While no formal advising or grant information is listed, his collaborative publications suggest active engagement in research teams and clinical networks.
