  1. 1. On ankle fractures

    Författare :Emilia Möller Rydberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Ankle Fracture; Fracture Register; Epidemiology; Incidence; Treatment; Management; Treatment Algorithm; Knowledge Support;

    Sammanfattning : Ankle fractures range from simple avulsions to complex injuries and the treatment options are numerous. Sweden has no national guidelines regarding the management and treatment of ankle fractures, leaving these choices up to local tradition or individuals’ decisions. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Foot-Ankle Joints Responses. Epidemiology, Biomechanics and Mathematical Modeling

    Författare :Chantal S. Parenteau; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; mathematical models; biomechanics; range of motion; ankle injury; injury mechanisms; ligament failure; center of rotation; ankle and subtalar joints; ankle fracture;

    Sammanfattning : The purpose of this thesis is to acquire better knowledge of foot-ankle injuries because of their increasing importance in car crashes. Three approaches were used: epidemiology, biomechanics and mathematical modeling. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Modelling of Factors Influencing Foot Ankle Responses and Injuries in Car Crashes

    Författare :Niklas Höglund; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; mathematical model; foot-ankle injuries; parameter study; toepan intrusion;

    Sammanfattning : Foot and ankle injuries in frontal car collisions are believed to be caused mainly by occupant contact with the floor and toepan, occupant interaction with the pedals, and the lower leg being deformed between the floor and knee bolster. A better understanding of the causes of foot and ankle injuries is required to design cars for improved safety of the legs. LÄS MER

  5. 4. How to Make Bicycling Safer - Identification and Prevention of Serious Injuries among Bicyclists

    Författare :Maria Ohlin; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Bicycle; Injuries; Crashes; ICF; HRQoL; Sickness Absence; Health; Disabilities; Impairments;

    Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis was to guide current and future safety improvements that address serious injuries among bicyclists. The thesis is compiled by four studies, of which the first two aimed to identify injuries leading to loss of health from a biopsychosocial perspective, and the two following studies aimed to understand how these injuries occur and how they can be prevented.
