Staffan Eriksson

Staffan Eriksson serves as an Associated Researcher at Uppsala University's Department of Public Health and Caring Sciences (Clinical Geriatrics division) and as a Researcher at Centrum för klinisk forskning i Sörmland (CKFD). His work bridges academic research and regional healthcare, focusing on clinical geriatrics and rehabilitation for aging populations.

His research centers on mobility recovery in stroke patients and community-dwelling older adults, with emphasis on SMS-guided tele-rehabilitation, fall prevention, and surgical recovery outcomes. Key methodologies include randomized controlled trials and secondary data analysis, particularly through the STROKEWALK study examining cholinergic biomarkers and walking recovery. He investigates behavioral change support in exercise adherence and reliability of clinical assessment tools.

Analysis of his 2017-2025 publications reveals consistent focus on practical interventions: SMS-based training for post-stroke mobility, fall prevention programs with motivational interviewing, and comparative surgical studies. His work prioritizes community-integrated solutions with strong translational potential, predominantly in neurology, geriatrics, and telemedicine domains.

Eriksson actively collaborates through the STROKEWALK study and CKFD initiatives, developing accessible rehabilitation tools that address real-world mobility challenges in stroke recovery and aging populations.
