  5. 9. Balance control in people with multiple sclerosis : mechanisms, experiences, design and feasibility of an exercise trial

    Författare :Andreas Wallin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Everyday living entails navigating complex environments and perform-ing activities often requiring simultaneous motor and cognitive actions/tasks (dual-tasking). Disease-related impairments in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) often impact sensorimotor and cognitive functions, both of which may contribute to a vicious cycle of decreased mobility, muscular weakness, impaired balance control, walking limitation, falls, and fall-related injuries.

  7. 10. Balance and gait in Parkinson’s disease : from perceptions to performance

    Författare :Hanna Johansson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis was to explore perceptions and performance of balance and gait in people with Parkinson’s disease (PwPD), and to evaluate both the current evidence for exercise-induced neuroplasticity and the feasibility of investigating exercise-induced neuroplastic changes among PwPD. This thesis includes four papers of different designs; a qualitative interview study (paper I), a systematic review and meta-analysis (paper II), a pilot RCT (paper III) and a crosssectional study (paper IV).
