Bio:

Birk Mygind Grønfeldt is a research assistant at Department of Clinical Research, Amager & Hvidovre Hospital, his current focus is on research in knee osteoarthritis and therapeutic exercise modalities. He is engaged in research collaborations between Physical Medicine and Research Copenhagen (PMR-C), Clinical Orthopaedic Research Hvidovre (CORH) and the clinical academic group ”Research in OsteoArthritis Denmark” ROAD.

The mission of PMR-C is to improve rehabilitation health care by producing fantastic research and educating excellent researchers who know right from wrong.

The focus of PMR-C is the use of physical medicine to enhance recovery in patients, or to prevent injury or disease. Our approach is clinical, but we also conduct basic research to investigate mechanisms and research to develop new outcome measures.

At PMR-C, we believe strongly in collaboration over competition. We believe that excellence must not come at the expense of kindness, and that excellence without kindness has little value. We recruit talent and seek collaboration based on this belief. Our value keywords are; excellence, integrity, transparency, diversity and kindness.

PMR-C is part of the Clinical Academic Groups “Physical Activity and Sports in Clinical Medicine (imPAct)”, “Research OsteoArthritis Denmark (ROAD)”, and “Prognostication of Acute Recovery Capacity in an Aging Population (ACUTE)” under Greater Copenhagen Health Science Partners (https://chsp.dk/), as well as part of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Research Center in Copenhagen
