Paul Enthoven

Associate Professor, Docent

I want to develop and conduct high quality physical therapy education, supervision and research.

Presentation

I want to contribute to the development and implementation of treatment methods and evaluation of instruments in various areas of physiotherapy with the ultimate goal to improve the care of our patients.

My work expands musculoskeletal and neurological fields, with focus on patient groups such as spinal pain, chronic pain, osteoporosis, Stroke and m. Parkinson. 

My research interests include epidemiology and mechanisms of injury and illness, clinical diagnostics, instrument development, outcome prediction and evaluation of physiotherapeutic interventions.
