    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Vadstena Osteoporosis Prevention Project VOPP ; weight-bearing training study; physical activity; training programmes; elderly; forearm bone mineral density BMD ; balance-training; Orthopaedics; Ortopedi;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis is based on studies of the ten-year community-based intervention programme entitled, the Vadstena Osteoporosis Prevention Project (VOPP). The specific aims of the research were to describe the effects of physical activity and training programmes on bone mass and balance performance in adults, to determine whether a fall risk prevention programme could motivate personal actions among the elderly, to ascertain whether the intervention programme could reduce the incidence of forearm and hip fractures.

  3. 2. Physical activity in Parkinson’s disease : measurement, correlates and effects of balance training

    Författare :Håkan Nero; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Aim: The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate correlates of physical activity in older adults with Parkinson’s disease and to evaluate the effects, both short- and long term, of the HiBalance program on physical activity and sedentary. Further, to investigate the associated factors of a training effect on physical activity. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Motor and cognitive abilities in Parkinson’s disease with a brain activity perspective : performance at baseline and the effects of a balance training program

    Författare :Malin Freidle; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Around one per cent of the population over 60 years of age have Parkinson’s disease (PD). PD is a progressive and complicated disease presenting a wide range of symptoms. More knowledge of the common impairments in balance, gait, cognition, and motor learning is needed. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Fall-related concerns, balance and gait in older adults with osteoporosis

    Författare :Alexandra Halvarsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Aim: The overall aim of this thesis was to evaluate the short- and long-term effects of a specific and progressive balance-training programme, focusing on dual- and multi-task exercises, with respect to fall-related concerns, gait, balance performance and physical function in older adults with osteoporosis. Furthermore, to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Falls Efficacy Scale-International questionnaire, and to explore perceptions of fall-related concerns and balance after participating in the balance-training programme.

  7. 5. Better balance with somatosensory exercises : a Parkinson perspective

    Författare :Ingrid Claesson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : BACKGROUND: People with Parkinson’s Disease (PD) experience increasing activity limitations in walking, carrying objects, turning around, and dressing. Subtle and often unconscious balance decline may have occurred already at an early stage, even when first diagnosed. At present, no medical treatment can ease the progressive balance impairment.
