  1. 6. Balance, gait performance and muscular strength in the elderly

    Författare :Karin A M Ringsberg; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; populations; elderly; muscular strength; Balance; gait performance; orthopaedics; traumatology; Kirurgi; ortopedi; traumatologi;

    Sammanfattning : Fracture incidence is higher in urban than in rural inhabitants. Background factors such as physical activity and workload may have an influence on the tendency to fall, leading to fractures. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Physical performance and physical activity in the later stage post-stroke

    Författare :Christiane Carvalho; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cerebrovascular accident; exercise test; gait; healthy control; muscle strength; physical activity; physical therapy; rehabilitation; secondary prevention; stroke; walking;

    Sammanfattning : Aims: The overall purpose of this thesis was to increase knowledge about physical performance and activity in the later stage post-stroke by measuring walking performance in different environments coupled to muscle strength, cardiorespiratory fitness evaluation and self-reported physical activity. Methods: The studies reported in the thesis included a total of 83 subjects with prior stroke living in the community and 144 clinically healthy subjects from the same area. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Blood pressure in very old age : determinants, adverse outcomes, and heterogeneity

    Författare :Bodil Weidung; Yngve Gustafson; Håkan Littbrand; Bo Carlberg; Peter Nordström; Sölve Elmståhl; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Blood pressure; aged 80 and over; hypertension; hypotension; mortality; stroke; gait speed; cognition disorders; dementia; cohort study;

    Sammanfattning : Background: High blood pressure (BP) is the leading risk factor for disease and mortality worldwide. However, risks associated with high BP in very old age (≥ 80 or ≥ 85 years) are not entirely understood, as the majority of scientific studies have been performed with younger populations and existing scientific knowledge about very old individuals is sometimes contradictory.

  5. 9. Studies on energy expenditure in walking after stroke

    Författare :Anna Danielsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :gait; rehabilitation; assessment; physical therapy; oxygen consumption; body weight support; orthotic devices; physical activity;

    Sammanfattning : Aims: The aims were to assess energy expenditure during different conditions, evaluate measurement methods and assess physical activity after stroke. Methods: In total 51 persons with stroke >6 months previously (mean age 56) and 24 reference persons participated. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Deciphering the Locomotor Network : The Role of Spinal Cord Interneurons

    Författare :Sharn Perry; Klas Kullander; Kimberly Dougherty; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Locomotion; central pattern generator; mouse; gait; recurrent inhibition; Renshaw cell; Dmrt3; Chrna2; Neuroscience; Neurovetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : In the spinal cord, an intricate neural network generates and coordinates the patterning of limb movements during locomotion. This network, known as the locomotor central pattern generator (CPG), comprises of various cell populations that together orchestrate the output of motor neurons. LÄS MER
