1. 1. Forced use on arm function after stroke : clinically rated and self-reported outcome and measurement during the sub-acute phase

   Författare :Ann M. Hammer; Birgitta Lindmark; Lotta Widén Holmqvist; Örebro universitet; []
   Nyckelord :stroke; upper limb; reliability; validity; ICF; forced use; motor function; effectiveness; rehabilitation; physiotherapy; grip force; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Medicin; Medicine;

   Sammanfattning : The overall aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of forced use on arm and hand recovery after stroke by applying a restraining sling on the non-affected arm and to investigate psychometric properties of selected upper limb measures.Papers I and II reported a randomised trial with 1- and 3-month follow-ups.

3. 2. Virtual reality based kinematics for assessment of post-stroke upper limb function

   Författare :Netha Hussain; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; stroke; motion analysis; upper extremity; arm function; kinematics; virtual reality; outcome assessment; rehabilitation; recovery of function; task performance and analysis;

   Sammanfattning : The main scope of this thesis was to develop a method for assessing the upper limb sensorimotor function following stroke using virtual reality-based technique. The studies reported in this thesis included 67 individuals extracted from the SALGOT (Stroke Arm Longitudinal Study at the University of Gothenburg) cohort and 43 healthy controls. LÄS MER

4. 3. Hand-arm vibration syndrome; Consequences for hand function and quality of life

   Författare :Ragnhild Cederlund; Hållbar vardag och hälsa i ett livsperspektiv; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ortopedi; traumatologi; traumatology; Kirurgi; Surgery; orthopaedics; questionnaires; tests; assessments; outcomes; ill-health; well-being; activities of daily living ADL ; quality of life; hand function; hand symptoms; Vibration exposure; Hand-arm vibration syndrome HAVS ;

   Sammanfattning : Workers exposed to hand-held vibrating machines may risk developing a hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS), a condition which can cause chronic impairment and disability. The aims of this thesis were 1) to obtain deeper insight and further knowledge of HAVS and the consequences for hand function, and aspects of quality of life (QoL); 2) to investigate the usefulness of clinical assessments in diagnosing HAVS; 3) to evaluate a treatment method for patients with severe cold intolerance.

5. 4. Clinical and kinematic assessments of upper limb function in persons with post-stroke symptoms

   Författare :Gudrun M Johansson; Charlotte K Häger; Helena Grip; Erika Franzén; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Cross-sectional studies; Arm; Hand; Gait; Outcome assessment; Clinical laboratory techniques;

   Sammanfattning : Stroke is a common and multifaceted disease that often involves motor deficits in the upper limb. This thesis investigated reliability and validity of existing clinical assessments of upper limb function in persons with post-stroke symptoms and in non-disabled controls. LÄS MER

7. 5. Mobile Device Security with ARM TrustZone

   Författare :Sileshi Demesie Yalew; Seif Haridi; Miguel Correia; Mário Freire; KTH; []
