MOVANT - the research group that gets people to move, explore and grow
MOVANT brings together researchers, clinicians and society to investigate how movement is affected by disease, injury, ageing and lifestyle - and how rehabilitation and technology can help people move better. We study how people move, why movement is affected by disease or injury, and how movement can be measured and improved - from childhood to old age. As such, we are dedicated to movement, rehabilitation and improvement of quality of life. We answer research questions such as: Can we predict recovery? Can we measure movement more accurately? Which rehabilitation strategies work best? How can technology help people move better?
