Torunn Askim

About

Torunn Askim (ORCID: 0000-0002-9818-9272) is Head of Department of Neuromedicine and Movement Science (INB) at NTNU.

Torunn is a physiotherapist by education and received her PhD in Clinical Medicine at NTNU in 2008. Her research focuses on different aspects of rehabilitation after stroke, ranging from specific neurorehabilitation techniques to the development of new healthcare models for long-term follow-up. Torunn is the Principal Investigator (PI) of the LAST-long project (2018-2024) which is funded by the Research Council of Norway. The overall aim of the LAST-long project is to establish an evidence based, cost effective, multimodal approach to long-term follow up after stroke, in order to prevent functional decline, cognitive decline, recurrent cerebrovascular events and to reduce the burden of stroke to the patients, their families and to the health care system.
