About Elke Schubert Hjalmarsson

Elke Schubert-Hjalmarsson is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, and a Certified Specialist in Pediatric Physiotherapy with more than 30 years of clinical experience. Her research focuses on pain, fatigue, physical activity, and sensorimotor function in adolescents with hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSD) and hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS).
