    Sammanfattning : Background: The heel-raise test (HRT) is used in clinical practice and research to assess the triceps suare (TS) muscles. The test involves repetitive unilateral heel-raises in upright stance. The test is administered with the knee straight for gastrocnemius medialis (GM) and lateralis (GL), and with the knee bent for soleus (SOL). LÄS MER

    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Achilles tendon ruptures in humans are followed by a long period of immobilisation, rehabilitation and limitations of physical activity and sometimes work also. This prolonged period probably leaves a marginal for improvement in the management of this injury. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Dynamic knee stability after anterior cruciate ligament injury : Emphasis on rehabilitation

    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Rehabilitation; anterior cruciate ligament; knee joint; joint instability; muscle strength; electromyography; ACL reconstruction; Physiotherapy; Sjukgymnastik fysioterapi;

    Sammanfattning : Anterior cruciate ligament injury leads to increased sagittal tibial translation, and perceptions of instability and low confidence in the knee joint are common. Many patients have remaining problems despite treatment and are forced to lower their activity level and prematurely end their career in sports. LÄS MER
