Norwegian research center for Active Rehabilitation (NAR)
The Norwegian research center for Active Rehabilitation (NAR) was formally established in May 2003. NAR is a research collaboration between The Orthopedic Center at Oslo University Hospital (UUS), The Norwegian Sport Medicine Clinic (Hjelp24 NIMI), and the Norwegian School of Sport Sciences' (NIH) Department of Sport Medicine.
The overall aim of NAR is to develop a dynamic environment for investigation of active rehabilitation of musculo-skeletal conditions. The collaberation of several of Norway's leading academic and clinical insitiutions, situated all within a small geographical area, allows us to take full advantage of the available knowlegde, resources and equipment. Our broader vision includes expanding national and international collaborations.
Our key research areas currently include the active rehabilitation of (1) knee injuries (ACL injuries and osteoarthritis), (2) hip osteoarthritis, (3) low back pain and (4) osteoporposis.
