Stig Mølsted

Stig Mølsted serves as Associate Professor in the Department of Clinical Medicine at the University of Copenhagen, specializing in Nephrology with research extending across rehabilitation medicine and chronic disease management. His work bridges clinical practice and public health through investigations of physical activity interventions in diverse healthcare contexts.

His research portfolio demonstrates deep engagement with:

• Rehabilitation strategies for stroke survivors and patients with severe cardiopulmonary conditions
• Workplace health promotion challenges in hospital settings, particularly exercise integration during clinical shifts
• Physical activity assessment methodologies during pregnancy and in chronic respiratory diseases
• Environmental health interactions (e.g., PFAS exposure) with exercise physiology
• Tele-rehabilitation solutions for underserved patient populations

Methodologically, Mølsted employs mixed approaches including randomized controlled trials, grounded theory qualitative investigations, and large-scale epidemiological analyses. His 2025 publications reveal a strong focus on practical implementation barriers—examining manager perspectives on workplace exercise programs, stroke rehabilitation goal-setting experiences, and COPD tele-rehabilitation protocols.

Collaborative patterns indicate cross-disciplinary engagement with pulmonology, obstetrics, environmental health, and healthcare management teams across Danish institutions, reflecting the translational nature of his work addressing real-world clinical and organizational challenges.
