Senior Professor Ann-Christin Eliasson, occupational therapist, Astrid
Lindgren hospital.

Research

My field of research is children with neurodevelopmental disorder. A main
interest is development of hand function in children with cerebral palsy. The
challenges is whether the children’s abilities can be improved by
intervention and whether we can understand more about factors influencing the
development after early brain lesion. Our research is about the impact of
rehabilitation, different perspective of development and new assessment
tools.
