   Sammanfattning : A series of biomechanical investigations aimed at contributing to the understanding of shoulder function and improvements of a computer based shoulder model is presented. In the thesis the structure of shoulder models is revised. LÄS MER

4. 43. 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

5. 44. Knee function, Physical Activity and Perceived Health after Meniscectomy in the Middle-aged

   Författare :Ylva Ericsson; Enheten för led- och mjukvävnadsforskning; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; physical activity; dGEMRIC; self efficacy of knee function; functional performance; muscle strength; meniscectomy; middle-aged; health-related quality of life; BMI; functional exercise;

   Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to explore the impact of meniscal injury and meniscectomy on joint and muscle function, physical activity and perceived health in middle-age subjects and to evaluate the effect of a functional exercise program. Male and female post meniscectomy patients participated in Studies I-IV (n=45 in Studies I-III, n=99 in Study IV) and Study IV also included 94 controls. LÄS MER

7. 45. Postural balance, physical activity and capacity among young people with intellectual disability
