About me
- My name is Andreas Wallin. I am a registered physiotherapist and doctor in medical science at Karolinska Institutet. My clinical background is as a physiotherapist in neurological rehabilitation. I completed my doctoral education within the Doctoral School of Healthcare Science at Karolinska Institutet and defended my thesis "Balance Control in People with Multiple Sclerosis: Mechanisms, Experiences, Design and Feasibility of an Exercise Trial" in 2023.
Research
- I conduct research aimed at exploring motor-cognitive function in people with neurological diseases. Within the ongoing research project, the effect of intensive motor-cognitive balance training in people with multiple sclerosis is evaluated. Furthermore, a novel motor-cognitive intervention specific to people with Parkinson's disease is developed within the ongoing research project. The research will hopefully contribute to person-centered care, which in turn can provide improved quality and efficiency in rehabilitation.
