About me

  • I am currently a Post-doctoral researcher in Franzén’s Research Group [1],
    housed in the division of Physiotherapy. I am also employed as a permanent
    member of staff at the University of the Western Cape, Cape Town, South
    Africa, as lecturer in physiotherapy. I have completed my first
    (bachelor’s degree in physiotherapy - 2008) and second cycle (master’s in
    physiotherapy - 2012) education at the University of the Western Cape, South
    Africa. I have relocated Sweden in 2012 to carry out my third cycle –
    doctoral – education at ̽ѡ, where I defended my thesis
    in the Spring of 2016. My thesis topic was “Traumatic spinal cord injury in
    South Africa and Sweden: Epidemiologic features and functioning [2]”.
    When I am not lecturing or researching I enjoy traveling, listening to music,
    playing guitar and being active.

Research

  • My primary research focuses include “injury and functioning
    epidemiology”, “disability assessment”, and “rehabilitation”. In
    addition, I have a keen interest in health systems research, and I am
    currently leading an investigation into “Learning Health Systems” for
    persons with spinal cord injury, as well as stroke, in South Africa and
    Sweden. I am collaborating with Dr Conradsson [1]on this project, where we
    aim to unravel healthcare pathways, processes or care, and associated
    outcomes.
    My current post-doctoral work is within the area of neurological intervention
    research in Parkinson’s disease, with a focus on translating efficacious
    treatments into clinical practice. To date, I have led the feasibility of
    translating an intervention into clinical practice and performed an economic
    evaluation [2] of the initial randomized controlled trial.
