I am a PhD-student and a teacher at the Division of Physiotherapy. My research focuses on postoperative physiotherapy rehabilitation in patients with cervical disc disease - a randomized controlled clinical trial.

Structured postoperative physiotherapy in patients with cervical disc disease.

Randomized controlled trials of postoperative physiotherapy in patients with cervical disc disease, to inform evidence based clinical guidelines for the treatment of these patients, are lacking.

The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of structured postoperative physiotherapy  in primary care settings compared to standard postoperative approach after surgery for cervical disc disease. The study is a multi-center study with a 2 year follow up. Patients were included in the study between 2009 and 2012.
