Back Complaints in the Elderly
Almost everyone experience back pain at some point in their life. For some people, it is a rather quick episode, passing within a few days. Fort others, the pain persists. We aim at figuring out why. Our preliminary results show that as many as 80% of elderly with a new episode of back pain still has pain 3 months after their first visit to their primary care practitioner. Why is that?

HEYoung-study
Little is known about the risk factors for musculoskeletal pain and mental disorders in emerging adults (from 18 - 29 years of age)? In this study we aim at following a large cohort of young adults for 10 years to assess potential risk factors for persistent musculoskeletal pain and mental health disorders.

FysioPol - data collection in primary health care
FysioPol is a database for quality assurance and evaluation of physiotherapy practice at outpatient clinics at OsloMet. The aim of FysioPol is to give students experience with standardized data collection in clinical practice, as well as using the data to answer different physiotherapy specific research questions. Various projects have emerged based on these data.
