Maria Johansson

Adjunct Assistant Lecturer

My research is focused on function, activity and participation of elderly suffering from multiple illnesses and people with mild cognitive impairment or dementia.

Presentation

How can we improve everyday life for people suffering from multiple illnesses and mild cognitive impairment or dementia?

How do we measure and assess function and activity, and how can we support and rehabilitate these patients? The goal is to facilitate the lives of people with cognitive impairment and elderly suffering from multiple illnesses, so that they can lead as full lives as possible, despite disabilities.
