Agnetas research
Human motion in changing environments
Agneta Larsson's practice and research is Medical Science. My educational background includes integrative physiology and a Master's degree in Medical Science from Karolinska Institute, Stockholm and a Doctoral degree in Physiotherapy from Lulea University of Technology (LTU). My thesis focused on risk and safety analyses, management and interactions between environmental conditions and human behaviour. A particular focus of my research is the significance of the environment, social context and people's self-efficacy beliefs for physical performance and mobility. Located in the subarctic area of northern Scandinavia, the research activities of my group explore how built outdoor environments & seasonal climate variations, as well as people's balance control, attitudes & experiences affect how a person feels comfortable to move in the outdoor environment.
I was a board member of the Nordic Society for Circumpolar Health (NSCH) (2018-2021), aiming to promote and spread interest in scientific studies of healthcare problems in polar, subpolar, and similar environments.Currently I'm working within the European Space University for Earth and Humanity (UNIVERSEH), and here especially focusing on Equity, Inclusion and Diversity in education and mobility as leader for WP 6 from LTUS side.
