1. Goal-directed fluid therapy during major abdominal surgery
Sammanfattning : Background: Both hypo- and hypervolemia increase the risk for postoperative complications after major abdominal surgery. Fluid needs vary amongst patients depending on differences in preoperative dehydration, intraoperative physiology and surgical characteristics. LÄS MER
2. Goal-directed therapy for children with cerebral palsy
Sammanfattning : The overall aims of the thesis were to study the effects of goal-directed therapy (GDT) in children with cerebral palsy (CP) in an ecological setting, using the ICF-CY as a frame of reference, and to determine the reliability of the selective motor control (SMC) scale. Measures included in this thesis were represented in the domains of body function/structure and activity and participation. LÄS MER
3. Evolution of the subcortical circuits controlling goal-directed behaviour
Sammanfattning : The aim of the work presented in this thesis was to reconstruct the minimal neural hardware that vertebrates use for goal-directed behaviour. By studying lamprey, one of the phylogenetically oldest vertebrates, we were able to identify the neural circuitry that has been conserved since jawed and jawless vertebrates diverged over 560 million years ago.

4. Sensorimotor behavior in children born preterm and adolescents with Cerebral Palsy : Side preference, movement organization, and training
Sammanfattning : Preterm birth (< 37 complete gestation weeks, GWs) is the single most prominent risk factor for the development of cerebral palsy (CP). This is due to the immature physiological state of the preterm born infant which increases the risk of brain lesions. LÄS MER
5. Position-matching and goal-directed reaching acuity of the upper limb in chronic neck pain : associations to self-rated characteristics
Sammanfattning : Neck-shoulder pain is common in the general population and causes individual suffering as well as large costs for the society. Despite substantial efforts, there is still a shortage of methods for objective diagnosis and effective rehabilitation of such disorders. Thus, there is a great need to develop and evaluate new methods for these purposes. LÄS MER
