1. Abdominal wall complications after urological surgery
Sammanfattning : Background: Abdominal wall complications such as incisional hernia, bulging, and pain are known complications of surgery in the abdominal cavity. Most previous studies have been conducted on general surgical procedures, whereas few have been conducted on patients treated for urological cancer. LÄS MER
2. EMG and strength in trunk and hip muscles
Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis was to study the myouelectric activity of all major muscles involved in the movements and stabilization of the trunk, pelvis and hips during training exercises, postures, motor tasks, maximal strength performance and locomotion. By use of ultra-sound, EMG electrodes could be guided safely and accurately into muscles situated even close to the spinal column, such as psoas, quadratus lumborum and deep parts of erector spinae.

3. Closure of midline abdominal incisions with small stitches : studies on wound complications and health economy
Sammanfattning : Background A midline incision inflicts minimal damage to muscles, nerves and blood supply. Postoperative complications cause patients suffering and costs for society. Midline incisions should be closed with a continuous single-layer technique and a suture length (SL) to wound length (WL) ratio over 4. LÄS MER
4. On the role of transversus abdominis in trunk motor control
Sammanfattning : All trunk muscles are important contributors to spine stability. However, the deepest abdominal muscle, transversus abdominis (TrA), with its characteristically horizontal fibre orientation seems to serve a unique function in trunk motor control. LÄS MER
5. Hormones, muscles and oncological outcome in men with rectal cancer
Sammanfattning : Paper I. The aim was to elucidate if testosterone (T) dose-dependently increase muscle size in abdomen and pelvis, analogous to the known anabolic influence on appendicular muscles. Participants were young (age 18-50) healthy men participating in the 5a-reductase trail, a double blinded RCT. LÄS MER
