Rasmus Feld Frisk

Rasmus Feld Frisk serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Neuroscience at the University of Copenhagen, specializing in motor control research within the Nielsen Lab. His work focuses on neural mechanisms of movement disorders, particularly in cerebral palsy populations, utilizing biomechanical and neurophysiological methodologies to investigate gait abnormalities and rehabilitation strategies.

His primary research interests encompass motor control dysfunctions in neurological disorders, with emphasis on cerebral palsy pathophysiology, gait biomechanics, sensory-motor integration, and neural drive mechanisms. Current investigations analyze ankle joint mechanics, contracture development, and the efficacy of motor-learning interventions for improving functional mobility in both pediatric and adult patients.

Analysis of his 2019-2025 publications reveals consistent focus on cerebral palsy rehabilitation, demonstrating expertise in quantifying neural control of movement through electromyography, gait analysis, and muscle property assessments. His collaborative work bridges clinical neurology and engineering to develop targeted therapeutic approaches for movement disorders.

Dr. Frisk maintains active research operations within the Nielsen Lab at the University of Copenhagen's Neuroscience Department, where his team investigates fundamental neural control principles with direct clinical applications for movement disorder rehabilitation.
