About Anna Danielsson

I am an Associate Professor in Physiotherapy, PhD, associated as reserarcher at the Unit of Physiotherapy and the Rehabilitation Medicine research Group at the University of Gothenburg. As a registered physiotherapist, certified in neurology, I have long clinical experience from the field of Rehabilitation Medicine at the Sahlgrenska University Hospital.

Physiotherapeutic assessement and interventions in the areas of Neurology, Rehabilitation Medicine and Paediatric Habilitation are in focus of my research.

Walking after stroke, specifically energy expenditure was the subject of my doctorla thesis. My studies have included assessments and interventions regarding motor function, spasticity, mobility, walking and physical activity. Assessment scales, self-reported instruments and quantitaive methods such as ergospirometry, acclereometry and instrumented movement analysis have been used in the studies, as well as qualitative content analysis.

Currently, I am involved in two doctoral projects on quantified movement and activity monitoring, in adults and children with impaired muscular tone, due to stroke or cerebral paresis.
