3. 7. Human Postural Sway Modeling and Balance Impairment Detection

   Författare :Hedyeh Jafari; Thomas Gustafsson; George Nikolakopoulos; Fredrik Öhberg; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Automatic Control; Reglerteknik;

   Sammanfattning : Falls, Fear of falling (FoF), and low balance confidence pose significant threats to health and independence among older people. This thesis aims to study humans’ postural and balance mechanisms, from analyzing the effect of multisensory inputs on balance performance and balance-related concerns to modeling the postural sway through physical dynamics and data-driven approaches.

4. 8. Force, falls and fear of falls in myotonic dystrophy type 1. Cross-sectional and longitudinal studies

   Författare :Elisabet Hammarén; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; myotonic dystrophy; physiotherapy; muscle force; postural balance; gait; reliability; cross-sectional; prospective;

   Sammanfattning : ABSTRACT Background: Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a neuromuscular multisystemic disorder with slowly progressive muscle weakness. The overall purpose of this thesis was, in adult patients with DM1, to investigate factors of importance for functional balance skills and falls, and to investigate the natural course of muscle force and functional balance impairments, with reliable measurement methods.
