Saffran is a licensed physiotherapist with a Phd in science of Health and Welfare within prosthetics and has a Master's degree in physiotherapy. Saffran has worked for many years in close collaboration with Prosthetists, both nationally and internationally, in rehabilitation after a lower limb amputation.

Saffran's main area of ​​interest is in multidisciplinary rehabilitation, how mobility and function can be affected by various factors, both physically and psychologically such as self-efficacy, cognitive (i.e. the degree of attention required when walking), environmental factors and assitive devices.
