   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; tetraplegia; tendon transfers; alphabet procedure; spasticity; grip and release; electrogoniometry; distal intrinsic release; ECU-tenodesis; grip strength; intrisic tightness; pinch strength;

   Sammanfattning : Surgical Restoration of Grasp Control in Tetraplegia Carina Reinholdt Department of Orthopedics/Hand Surgery, Institute of Clinical Sciences, The Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Göteborg, Sweden ABSTRACT Aim: The overall aim of this thesis was to improve the grasp and release function of patients with tetraplegia undergoing reconstructive hand surgery. In order to reach this objective, new and more cost-efficient surgical concepts with maintained patient safety were designed. LÄS MER

3. 12. Discharges in human muscle afferents during manual tasks

   Författare :Michael Dimitriou; Benoni Edin; Roger Lemon; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; motor control; muscle spindle; Golgi tendon organ; muscle afferent; microneurography; proprioception; sensorimotor; fusimotor; hand; forward model; ; Neuroscience; Neurovetenskap;

   Sammanfattning : Muscle spindles are complex sensory organs that have been strongly implicated in the control and perception of movements. Human muscle spindles in relaxed muscles behave as stretch receptors, responding to the length and velocity of their parent muscles. LÄS MER

4. 13. Functional Organization of Cerebellar Modules Controlling Forelimb Movements: Climbing and Mossy Fibre Input and Motor Output via the Red Nucleus and Motor Cortex

   Författare :Henrik Jörntell; Neurofysiologi; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; neuropsykologi; Neurologi; neurofysiologi; Neurology; neuropsychology; neurophysiology;

   Sammanfattning : A modular organization has recently been described for the cerebellar control system comprising the forelimb areas of the C1/C3/Y zones in the cerebellar cortex and nucleus interpositus anterior (NIA) of the cat. A module is a group of cells in NIA which receives homogenous climbing fibre input via Purkinje cells that belong to the same set of microzones in the C1/C3/Y zones. LÄS MER

5. 14. Hand function in rheumatoid arthritis

   Författare :Berit Dellhag; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Rheumatoid arthritis; hand function; test; precision grip; exercise; wax bath; activities of daily living; outcome; disability; longitudinal.;

   Sammanfattning : Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the most common chronic inflammatory rheumatic disease. Involvement of wrist and hand is a characteristic finding and occur at an early stage. Hand function is of great importance in performance of daily activities (ADL).Aims. LÄS MER

7. 15. New functional and anatomical aspects of the organisation of human peripheral nerve

   Författare :Rolf Ekedahl; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Somatosensory system; Peripheral nerve organisation; somatotopy; modalitysegregation; cutaneous mechanoreceptors; Human.Huddinge 1996;

   Sammanfattning : The functional topography of peripheral nerves has been studied by various indirect electrophysiological and histological methods. Even though some studies have suggested the presence of a somatotopical arrangement of nerve fibres, the prevailing view is that a random distribution of nerve fibres develops in the nerve due to the repeated rearrangement of nerve fascicles along their centripetal course.
