Our research is always inspired by real life and must always find its way back to real life

With the establishment of RCFM’s Research and Development Centre in 1985, RCFM has been able to accumulate, generate and communicate knowledge about the physical, mental and social implications of NMD.

The foundation for all research and development is a close collaboration between RCFM’s researchers and rehabilitation professionals. Research questions and development projects are always rooted in problems formulated by patients or observed in the meeting with our patients.

The short distance between researcher and rehabilitation professionals further ensures that knowledge generated by the researcher is quickly implemented in the clinic for the benefit of both patients and professionals.

An international partner

Brickless meeting 2017

The Research and Development Centre is committed to staying updated on the latest international research and treatment methods and passing it on to our patients and partners.

The Research and Development Centre collaborates with a large national and international network. The collaborative efforts and collaboration are systemized and intensified through our membership of the European Neuromuscular Centre (ENMC) and Treat-NMD.

Scandinavian network

Every other year, the Research Centre arranges and hosts the Brickless meeting where professionals from Sweden, Norway and Denmark meet to discuss the newest results within treatment and rehabilitation of neuromuscular diseases.

We are a center of excellence for neuromuscular diseases (NMD).

We believe in seing the entire person with NMD in a life-long perspective. That way, we can help create the best environment for people with NMD and their families. 

We share our knowledge with our patients, their families and our professional partners. We work interdisciplinary and across sectors.
