Main focus is musculoskeletal disorders and motor control and motor learning. This interest has led me to initiate research on musicians’ health and performance; a professional group with a high prevalence of musculoskeletal pain, combined with exceptionally high demands on good motor control and many practice hours. My interest in motor control and has also guided me towards research in sports science (fly casting) and balance control in older people with fear of falling and people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. I enjoy working in cross-disciplinary projects combining expertise from health & medicine with performing arts and engineering and physics, e.g., for increased knowledge about motor control, technical developments and robotics.
