  3. 17. Maximal step-up height as a novel assessment of leg muscle strength and function : methodological and clinical studies

    Författare :Lillemor Amanda Nyberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Physical performance is a strong predictor for morbidity and premature death and there is an increasing interest in the role of sarcopenia in many chronic diseases. There is a need for simple, robust and valid tests for assessing muscle strength and function in clinical practice. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Evaluation of surface electromyography and aspects of muscle strength in persons without motor impairment and in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy

    Författare :Barbro Larsson; Katharina Stibrant-Sunnerhagen; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : Impaired muscle function significantly affects persons with Cerebral Palsy (CP), affects that include muscle strength, fatigue and endurance. This thesis evaluates a test method, an endurance test, and estimates aspects of muscle fatigue and muscle endurance in persons without impaired muscle function and in children with CP. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Alternatives in the treatment of abdominal rectus muscle diastasis : an evaluation

    Författare :Peter Emanuelsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction: Abdominal rectus diastasis (ARD) is defined as a widening of the distance between the two rectus muscles located on either side of the Linea Alba (LA). A width of more than 3 cm is, in this thesis, considered as pathological. There are several reasons why ARD occurs, where pregnancy is one of the most common. LÄS MER
