  1. 11. Walking in adults with spastic cerebral palsy : the relation to pain, fatigue, gait and balance

    Författare :Arve Opheim; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Cerebral palsy;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Cerebral palsy (CP) is a disorder of movement and posture, and reduced gross motor function has been reported in several studies. Walking is an important function in everyday life, and important for independence. Studies on walking deterioration in adults with spastic CP are lacking. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Digital fall prevention for older adults : Feasibility of a self-managed exercise application and development of a smartphone self-test for balance and leg strength

    Författare :Linda Månsson; Marlene Sandlund; Erik Rosendahl; Maria Wiklund; Fredrik Öhberg; Rolf Moe-Nilssen; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Accidental falls; Aged; Community-based participatory research; eHealth; Falls prevention; mHealth; Self-assessment; Self-management; physiotherapy; fysioterapi; sjukgymnastik; Physiotherapy;

    Sammanfattning : As the numbers of older adults grow, fall prevention is vital to reduce health care needs due to falls and to increase quality of life. Balance and strength exercises have been found to be effective in fall prevention, however, long-term adherence is often poor. LÄS MER

  4. 13. Bridging Boundaries in the Borderland of Bureaucracies : Individual Impact on Organisational Adaption to Demanding Situations in Civil and Military Contexts

    Författare :Aida Alvinius; Gerd Lindgren; Göran Ahrne; Karlstads universitet; []

    Sammanfattning : The purpose of this thesis is to reach a deeper understanding of how boundary spanners are bridging boundaries between uniformed bureaucratic organisations and their environment, characterised by demanding conditions.The main part of this thesis is based upon empirical data gathered through 71 interviews with Swedish civil and military informants from several uniformed organisations.

  5. 14. Population-based studies of higher-level gait disorders and hydrocephalus : focused on brain ventricular morphometry and patient outcomes following shunt surgery

    Författare :Jenny Larsson; Jan Malm; Anders Eklund; Hanna Israelsson Larsen; Lars-Owe D. Koskinen; Uwe Kehler; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Higher-level gait disorder; Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus; Ventriculomegaly; Falls; Fear of Falling; Self-efficacy; Depression; Quality of life; Adverse events; Headache; Epilepsy; Abdominal pain;

    Sammanfattning : Background: To study gait is of great importance for the health of the aging population. Higher-level gait disorders (HLGD) are characterized by a slow, symmetrical, unsteady gait. Its cause is most often unknown. HLGD in combination with ventriculomegaly (i. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Spike-Based Bayesian-Hebbian Learning in Cortical and Subcortical Microcircuits

    Författare :Philip Tully; Anders Lansner; Matthias Hennig; Gordon Pipa; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Bayes rule; synaptic plasticity and memory modeling; intrinsic excitability; naïve Bayes classifier; spiking neural networks; Hebbian learning; neuromorphic engineering; reinforcement learning; temporal sequence learning; attractor network; Computer Science; Datalogi;

    Sammanfattning : Cortical and subcortical microcircuits are continuously modified throughout life. Despite ongoing changes these networks stubbornly maintain their functions, which persist although destabilizing synaptic and nonsynaptic mechanisms should ostensibly propel them towards runaway excitation or quiescence.
