  1. 6. Physiotherapy Management, Coping and Outcome Prediction in Whiplash Associated Disorders (WAD)

    Författare :Anne Söderlund; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Medical sciences; Whiplash associated disorders; physiotherapy; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; omvårdnadsforskning med medicinsk inriktning; Caring Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : The aims of the present thesis were to evaluate the management of acute WAD and to develop, describe and evaluate a cognitive behavioural approach for the physiotherapy management of long-term WAD as well as to study the predictors and mediating factors for long-term disability and pain after a whiplash injury. Two approaches for acute and chronic WAD were evaluated in experimental studies. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Mathematical Modeling of the Muscle Effects on the Human Body Responses under Transient Loads - Example of the Head-Neck Complex

    Författare :Adam Wittek; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; cervical spine; transient loads; muscle effects; Hill-type muscle models; finite element analysis; impact biomechanics; mathematical modeling;

    Sammanfattning : The goal of this study was to develop and apply a method that overcomes limitations of the currently available solutions for finite-element modeling of skeletal muscles and their effects on dynamic responses of the human body under transient loads. One of such limitations is that finite element codes commercially available in the field impact biomechanics do not contain any specific procedures for simulation of skeletal muscles. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Volunteer Muscle Activity in Dynamic Events. Input Data for Human Body Models

    Författare :Jóna Marin Olafsdottir; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; emergency braking; ative human body model; multidirectional perturbations; EMG; occupant kinematics; seatbelt pre-tension; reflex; validation data;

    Sammanfattning : Human body models (HBMs) are virtual human surrogates used to predict kinematic and injury responses during motor vehicle crashes. In recent years, active musculature has been incorporated into HBMs for enhanced biofidelity in simulated emergency scenarios, in particular low-severity crashes and pre-crash situations, where occupant responses are influenced by muscle tension.
