Research

  • My research focus on risk factors and prevention sport injuires in youth athletes. 
    My PhD-projekt was based on the Karolinska Handball Study (KHAST) a 
    prospective cohort study aiming to identify risk factors for shoulder
    injuires in adolescent handball players. 
    In May 2018 we conducted an RCT to evaluate the effect of the two training programmes Shoulder 
    Control (Axelkontroll) and a Knee control (Knäkontroll) on shoulder and knee injury rates(KHAST 
    2.0). From 2019 these programmes has been introduced national-wide at Swedish handball-profiled high schools in Sweden and since 2020 we are conducting a cohort study investigating the shoulder and knee injury rates afte the intriduction of these programmres.
