• Spasticity management via electrostimulation
• Telehealth solutions like the DISKO tool
• Longitudinal stroke outcome studies
• Cognitive-motor interaction in recovery
• Medical device validation

Scientific awards include multiple

• Promobilia Foundation grants
• VINNOVA innovation funding
• Swedish Research Council support

for stroke rehabilitation technology development.

Her supervision includes doctoral students

• Axel Fredriksen
• Alexandros Zampakas
• Collaborative projects with Påvel Lindberg and Elaine Guiterrez-Farewik
