Research
The research at the institute of neuro medicine and movement involves both healthy persons with and without disability, patients and health professionals. Our work contributes to the promotion of health and ability, and illness prevention, and to develop more targeted treatment and rehabilitation. This encompasses everything from basic and translation research to clinical and practical research. Research and development within education is an area of focus.
