  1. 16. The Healthy Ageing Initiative : Prevention of falls and fractures

    Författare :Jonas Johansson; Peter Nordström; Anna Nordström; Jon Karlsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; prospective falls; cohort study; fall risk; gait variability; postural stability; physical activity; bone properties; objective measurements; older individuals;

    Sammanfattning : The world is currently experiencing a dramatic increase in the number of older individuals, an amount that is expected to double between 2015 and 2050. This increase will likely affect the prevalence of age-related functional impairments, such as those caused by fractures. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Balance control in older adults with Parkinson’s disease : effects of medication and exercise

    Författare :David Conradsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Aim: To investigate the effects of dopaminergic medications on turning while walking in older adults with mild to moderate Parkinson’s disease (PD). A further aim was to develop a training program targeting balance impairments related to PD, to verify the progression of this program and the specific effects on balance and gait, as well as the transfer effects on everyday living.

  4. 18. Adults with spina bifida : from health and living conditions to motor-cognitive performance

    Författare :Martina Bendt; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Spina bifida (SB) is a congenital spinal cord dysfunction often leading to physical, medical and cognitive challenges. The level and extent of the spinal involvement often affects both sensory and motor function and secondary complications are common. There is a knowledge gap regarding adults with SB. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Human aging, dopamine, and cognition : molecular and functional imaging of executive functions and implicit learning

    Författare :Anna Rieckmann; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Age-related deficits are legion in task switching, updating of information in working memory (WM) and inhibiting irrelevant information, collectively referred to as executive functions. Executive functions are tightly coupled to the dopaminergic system, and marked dopamine (DA) losses are observed across adulthood and aging. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Functioning in prosthetic users provided with and without a microprocessor-controlled prosthetic knee – relative effects on mobility, self-efficacy and attentional demand

    Författare :Saffran Möller; Nerrolyn Ramstrand; Kerstin Hagberg; David Rusaw; Catharina Sjödahl Hammarlund; Jönköping University; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; amputation; trans-femoral amputation; adaptive prosthetic knee; prosthetic limb; self-report; mobility; self-efficacy; attention; brain; gait; neuroimaging; functional near-infrared spectroscopy; cognitive load; brain activity;

    Sammanfattning : Background: To undergo a lower limb amputation is a traumatic experience affecting the individual on physical as well as psychological levels and often leading to limitations in a person´s daily life. Following an amputation individual often receive a prosthesis to address impairments in mobility and functioning. LÄS MER
