Brita Stanghelle

Brita Stanghelle serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Rehabilitation Science and Health Technology at Oslo Metropolitan University's Faculty of Health Sciences. Her research focuses on evidence-based physiotherapy interventions for elderly populations, particularly women with osteoporosis and vertebral fractures. Based in Oslo (Pilestredet 50, Office H119), she can be contacted via brita.stanghelle@oslomet.no or +47 975 14 751.

Her work centers on geriatric rehabilitation, with key investigations into:

• Resistance and balance exercise efficacy for physical fitness improvement
• Relationships between pain, physical function, and quality of life
• Health literacy integration in academic curricula
• Fear of falling reduction strategies

Analysis of her 2018-2023 publications reveals consistent methodological rigor through randomized controlled trials, primarily targeting post-intervention outcomes in osteoporosis patients. Her research bridges clinical practice and academic theory within rehabilitation science, with strong emphasis on measurable health outcomes for aging populations.

As an active member of OsloMet's Physiotherapy Research groups, she collaborates internationally on geriatric health initiatives. While specific grant details and student supervision records aren't documented in available sources, her publication trajectory indicates ongoing research leadership in musculoskeletal rehabilitation.
