Biomécanique de la colonne vertébrale

Les maladies de la colonne vertébrale sont fréquentes et leurs causes ne sont souvent pas totalement élucidées. Grâce à nos recherches, nous contribuons à une meilleure compréhension des maladies de la colonne vertébrale. Nous évaluons les approches thérapeutiques existantes et les nouvelles approches de manière à formuler des recommandations à l’intention des physiothérapeutes.

Pour nos recherches, nous avons recours à l'infrastructure du Bern Movement Lab.
