1. Pulse-Synchronous Intramuscular Pressure Oscillations
Sammanfattning : Background Intramuscular pressure (IMP) is measured in studies of tissue nutrition and in the diagnosis of compartment syndromes. Patients with compartment syndromes have an elevated IMP due to increased volume in a muscle compartment. LÄS MER
2. Lateral epicondylitis : intramuscular blood flow, pressure and metabolism in the ECRB muscle
Sammanfattning : Lateral epicondylitis is classified as an overuse injury and the main symptom is pain from the lateral side of the elbow. There is general agreement that the extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) muscle and its proximal tendon play a central role in the development of lateral epicondylitis. However, the pathophysiology is to a large extent unclear. LÄS MER
3. Non-invasive measurement of skeletal muscle blood flow using by photoplethysmography. Experimental studies on the human leg
Sammanfattning : The purpose of this thesis was to validate a new non-invasive photoplethysmography (PPG) method for measuring relative changes in local muscle blood flow (MBF) in the human leg. Experimental conditions expected to impede or increase local MBF were used to test responsiveness of the PPG. LÄS MER
4. lntramuscular pressure in the lower leg - Studies on chronic exertional compartment syndrome and effects of external compression
Sammanfattning : This thesis on intramuscular pressure (IMP) in the lower leg is concerned with two topics. The first of these is external compression; more specifically, the effect of compression stockings (CS). There are conflicting data on how compression garments such as CS affect IMP and muscle function during activity. LÄS MER
5. Methods in Diagnosing Chronic Anterior Compartment Syndrome. A clinical study in patients with exercise induced leg pain
Sammanfattning : Chronic anterior compartment syndrome (CACS) is a painful condition within one or more muscle compartment(s) in the lower leg. It impedes blood flow and muscular function due to elevated intramuscular pressure. The diagnostic criteria are the subject of debate. LÄS MER
