Work and health
Our research aims to develop efficient and effective therapy measures in order to help those who have suffered an accident or who are ill to return to the labour market. The research results are applied in education and continuing education with the aim of improving basic care, rehabilitation and professional reintegration.
We use the Bern Movement Lab and the Bern Mobility Centre infrastructure for our research.
