  1. 1. Sleep Related Movement Disorders : Association with Menopause and Pregnancy

    Författare :Jan Wesström; Inger Sundström-Poromaa; Jan Ulfberg; Staffan Nilsson; Päivi Polo; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Sleep; Restless Legs Syndrome; Women; Menopause; Pregnancy; Depression; Medicin; Medicine;

    Sammanfattning : It is known that sleep problems affect people’s wellbeing and has great consequences for public health.Restless legs syndrome (RLS) gives uncomfortable sensations in the legs at rest, leading to an irresistible need for activity. It aggravates in evening and at night. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Deep brain stimulation of the posterior subthalamic area in the treatment of movement disorders

    Författare :Anders Fytagoridis; Patric Blomstedt; Joachim Krauss; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Deep brain stimulation; Movement disorders; Posterior subthalamic area; Zona incerta; Prelemniscal radiations; Tremor; Essential tremor; Parkinson s disease; neurokirurgi; Neurosurgery;

    Sammanfattning : Background: The posterior subthalamic area (PSA) is essentially composed of the caudal Zona incerta and the prelemniscal radiation. Subthalamotomy in the PSA was renowned for its effectiveness in alleviating movement disorders and particularly tremor. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Neck function in rhythmic jaw activities

    Författare :Birgitta Häggman-Henrikson; Antoon DeLaat; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :chewing; head; human; jaw; mandible; motor control; movement; neck; temporomandibular disorders; whiplash injury; odontologi; Odontology;

    Sammanfattning : Previous studies in animals and humans show anatomic and physiological connections between the trigeminal and cervical regions. This investigation tested the hypothesis of a functional integration between the human jaw and neck motor systems in rhythmic jaw activities. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Deep Brain Stimulation Atlases in Movement Disorders : from Patient-Specific to Group Analysis

    Författare :Dorian Vogel; Karin Wårdell; Simone Hemm; Anders Eklund; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an established method for symptom control in movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease (PD) and essential tremor (ET). The treatment consists in delivering electrical stimulation in the deep brain via multi-contact electrodes. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Biomechanical assessment of head and neck movements in neck pain using 3D movement analysis

    Författare :Helena Grip; Gertjan Ettema; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :movement analysis; kinematics; helical axis; neck pain; whiplash; cervical spine; pattern classification; motor control; head-eye co-ordination; head movement; biomedicinsk strålningsvetenskap; Biomedical Radiation Science;

    Sammanfattning : Three-dimensional movement analysis was used to evaluate head and neck movement in patients with neck pain and matched controls. The aims were to further develop biomechanical models of head and neck kinematics, to investigate differences between subjects with non-specific neck pain and whiplash associated disorders (WAD), and to evaluate the potential of objective movement analysis as a decision support during diagnosis and follow-up of patients with neck pain.
