1. 1. Tendon transfer mechanics and donor muscle properties : implications in surgical correction of upper limb muscle imbalance

   Författare :Eva Pontén; Bertil Romanus; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :laser diffraction; sarcomere length; tendon transfer; spasticity; muscle morphology; myosin heavy chain; capillary; rabbit; human; cerebral palsy; stroke; handkirurgi; hand surgery;

   Sammanfattning : Tendon transfer surgery is used to improve the hand function of patients with nerve injuries, spinal cord lesions, cerebral palsy (CP), stroke, or muscle injuries. The tendon of a muscle, usually with function opposite that of the lost muscle function, is transferred to the tendon of the deficient muscle. LÄS MER

3. 2. Modelling loading and growth of long bones Modelling loading and growth of long bones

   Författare :Priti Yadav; Elena Gutierrez-Farewik; Anders Eriksson; Eva Pontén; Hanna Isaksson; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :Growth Plate; Finite element analysis; Engineering Mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

   Sammanfattning : The long bones grow by the process of endochondral ossification, which occurs at the growth plate. This process is regulated by biological factors and mechanical factors. The biological factors which contribute to endochondral ossification process are genes, hormones, nutrients etc. The mechanical factor is the load acting on the bone. LÄS MER
