Jonas Sandlund is an Associate Professor at Umeå University's Department of Community Medicine and Rehabilitation (Faculty of Medicine). His work bridges physiotherapy and neuromusculoskeletal health with a focus on motor control, biomechanics, and rehabilitation strategies.
- Head of MOVE research group: Movement control and Exercise for neuromusculoskeletal health
- Member of N4 Research Group
- Active in clinical and epidemiological research
Research spans motor proficiency in neurodiverse populations, movement analysis using actigraphs, and clinical test validation for neck/shoulder pain. His work combines quantitative and qualitative methodologies across pediatrics, obstetrics, and adult rehabilitation. Key themes include:
- Development of movement cut-off points using wearable sensors
- Inter-rater reliability of physiotherapy assessments
- Neuromechanics in chronic pain populations
- Interprofessional approaches to gestational diabetes care
- Exploration of masculine health behaviors in mental health
- Validation of clinical movement tests
His research group employs biomechanical analysis, epidemiological modeling, and digital health innovations like smartphone balance assessment tools. Recent work (2025) examines motor control in ADHD/autism populations, while earlier studies (2006-2023) focus on spinal diagnostics and sensorimotor deficits in chronic pain.
