  1. 6. Knee and ankle kinesiology and joint instability

    Författare :Håkan Gauffin; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : This study, comprising 7 separate papers, is concerned with the additional information supplied by a kinesiological approach for evaluation of patients with instability due to old ligamenta us injury to the knee or ankle joint. This approach required development of new methods for kinesiological analysis. LÄS MER

  3. 7. High-Density Electromyography-Based Methods for Joint Torque Prediction and Motor Unit Behavior Observation

    Författare :Asta Kizyte; Ruoli Wang; Elena Gutierrez-Farewik; Christian Antfolk; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Ankle; isometric contractions; machine learning; neuromuscular control; spinal cord injury; Fotled; isometriska kontraktioner; maskininlärning; neuromuskulär kontroll; ryggmärgsskada; Teknisk mekanik; Engineering Mechanics;

    Sammanfattning : Electromyography (EMG) is a technique that measures the electrical activity of muscles. It reflects muscle activation and provides an interface to the central nervous system at the level of the muscle or individual motor units, which helps us understand the mechanisms of muscle force production, control, and coordination.

  4. 8. Structure and function of the ankle dorsiflexor muscles in young healthy men and women

    Författare :Anna Maria Drake; Människan i rörelse: hälsa och rehabilitering; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; kinesitherapy; revalidation; rehabilitation; Rehabilitering medicinsk och social ; Physical medicine; reproducibility of results; muscle fibres; magnetic resonance imaging; isokinetic strength; skeletal muscle; Ankle joint;

    Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis was to increase our knowledge of the relationship between structure and function of human skeletal muscle, and about factors affecting strength. The ankle dorsiflexor muscles (DF) were chosen as a representative model of human skeletal muscle, and because these muscles have important roles in gait and maintenance of balance. LÄS MER

  7. 10. A sensory role for the cruciate ligaments : regulation of joint stability via reflexes onto the γ-muscle-spindle system

    Författare :Per Sjölander; Håkan Johansson; Uwe Windhorst; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Joint afferent; Mechanoreceptor; Cruciate ligament; Fusimotor neuron; reflex; muscle spindle afferent; motor control; cat;

    Sammanfattning : Reflex effects evoked by graded electrical stimulation of the posterior articular nerves (PAN) of the ipsi- and contralateral knee joints were investigated using both micro-electrode recordings from 7 - motoneurones and recordings from single muscle muscle spindle afferents. Spindle afferent responses were also recorded using natural stimulation of different types of receptors, to elucidate if the articular reflexes onto the y -motoneurones were potent enough to significantly alter the muscle spindle afferent activity.
