1. Neck pain in air force pilots : on risk factors, neck motor function and an exercise intervention
Sammanfattning : Neck pain is a medical problem in modern military aviation. While neck exercises are recommended, clinical trials of neck motor function have been less investigated. LÄS MER
2. The Double Obstacle Problem on Metric Spaces
Sammanfattning : During the last decade, potential theory and p-harmonic functions have been developed in the setting of doubling metric measure spaces supporting a p-Poincar´e inequality. This theory unifies, and has applications in several areas of analysis, such as weighted Sobolev spaces, calculus on Riemannian manifolds and Carnot groups, subelliptic differential operators and potential theory on graphs.

3. Neck-specific exercise with or without a behavioural approach, or prescription of physical activity in chronic whiplash associated disorders
Sammanfattning : Background: Although 50% of those who suffer a whiplash injury still report neck pain after one year, there is a lack of knowledge about effective treatment for chronic whiplash associated disorders (WAD). Exercise is potentially useful, but the response to exercise in chronic WAD is highly variable between individuals and factors associated with good outcomes as well as the cost-effectiveness are unknown.

4. Neck muscle function in individuals with persistent pain and disability after whiplash injury
Sammanfattning : Background: Neck pain and disability are common after whiplash injury. One year after the accident up to 50 % still have symptoms called whiplash associated disorders (WAD). Despite decades of research the cause of persistent pain and disability are largely unknown and effective treatment and diagnostic tools are lacking. LÄS MER
5. eVIS – A digital support for physical activity in patients with chronic pain
Sammanfattning : Background: Chronic pain is a significant contemporary health challenge, exerting enormous impact on both individuals and societies. Although physical activity is the primary treatment, many patients struggle with incorporating it into their lives. LÄS MER
