About Michel Mertens

With a background in physiotherapy and a PhD on frozen shoulder, my research focuses on shoulder disorders in both the general population and oncology. My current projects explore eHealth, brain imaging, and soft tissue stiffness in oncology, as well as underlying mechanisms such as inflammation, metabolic, autonomic, and somatosensory function in shoulder conditions, and normative values for quantitative sensory testing. I combine clinical experience with fundamental and clinical research and have a broad interest in predictive models and personalized care.
