1. Wrist and thumb joint postures and motions: Measurements using electrogoniometry and EMG
Sammanfattning : Correct measurements of the joints’ extreme postures, velocity and repetitiveness are important for studies of the origin of musculoskeletal disorders. Posture measurements of wrist and thumb joints may also provide insights into input device designs that may reduce effort and/or facilitate productivity. LÄS MER
2. The proprioception and neuromuscular stability of the basal thumb joint
Sammanfattning : OBJECTIVES: The basal thumb joint, or the first carpometacarpal joint (CMC1) is an enigmatic construction. The concavo-convex shape of the CMC1 and wide range of movement, allows for both precision and power grips and is particularly susceptible to the development of osteoarthritis. LÄS MER
3. Rules of Thumb and Management of Common Infections in General Practice
Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with problem solving of general practitioners (GPs), which is explored with different methods and from different perspectives. The general aim was to explore and describe rules of thumb and to analyse the management of respiratory and urinary tract infections (RTI and UTI) in general practice in Sweden. LÄS MER
4. Microelectronics for the thumb-size ultrasound measurement system
Sammanfattning : This thesis presents building blocks and strategies to reach the goal of a thumb-size autonomous ultrasound measurement system with wireless communication capabilities. The design of modern electronics is based on the possibility to accurately predict system behavior by the use of simulation tools. LÄS MER
5. Thumb Base Osteoarthritis: Prevalence, Occupational Risk, and Surgical Outcomes
Sammanfattning : Osteoarthritis of the carpometacarpal joint at the base of the thumb (CMC1 OA) is common and causes difficulty in grasp, grip, and fine manipulation of the hand. Surgery is recommended after failure of non-operative treatment, andevidence from short and medium-term follow-up studies shows successful relief of pain and return of function. LÄS MER
