About ccupational therapy

Research in occupational therapy encompasses rehabilitation, prevention and health-promoting interventions that enable an active and social life, a sustainable working life, and the ability to remain living at home.

This is done by developing rehabilitation, prevention and promotion that create the conditions for an active and social life, a sustainable working life and for good living at home. We have established national and international collaborations and through our co-opted researchers who are employed at Region Norrbotten and Luleå municipality, we also work closely with activities in healthcare and social services.

Activity Laboratory

For our research, we have access to an Activity Laboratory that can be described as the next generation of smart homes. It is a regular apartment with a variety of technical solutions that support everyday activity and security.
