  1. 11. Subject-specific musculoskeletal modeling of the lower extremities in persons with unilateral cerebral palsy

    Författare :Olesya Klets; Elena Gutierrez-Farewik; Sven Kleiven; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :cerebral palsy; moment arm; muscle length; hemiplegic; MRI; subject-specific; musculoskeletal modeling; lower extremities; muscle volume; Mechanical engineering; Maskinteknik;

    Sammanfattning : The computational musculoskeletal models that are used to study muscle moment-generating capacities of persons with movement disorders and planning treatment options must be accurate, and take into account the inter-individual variability of musculoskeletal geometry. In Paper I the methods of creating the subject-specific musculoskeletal model of the lower extremities from magnetic resonance images (MRIs) were developed. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Movement pattern, power generation and well-being in children and young adults with spastic unilateral cerebral palsy

    Författare :Jacques Riad; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Patients with unilateral cerebral palsy (CP) all walk, most of them without great difficulty and without assistive devices. However, their walk tends to catch the eye because of abnormal, often asymmetrical movement in the upper and lower extremities. LÄS MER

  4. 13. Muscular forces from static optimization

    Författare :Sofia Heintz; Anders Eriksson; Elena Gutierrez-Farewik; Anton Arndt; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; movement analysis; muscle forces; static optimization; Other engineering mechanics; Övrig teknisk mekanik;

    Sammanfattning : At every joint there is a redundant set of muscle activated during movement or loading of the system. Optimization techniques are needed to evaluate individual forces in every muscle. The objective in this thesis was to use static optimization techniques to calculate individual muscle forces in the human extremities. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Shoulder and upper extremity impairments, activity limitation and physiotherapeutic exercise in women with rheumatoid arthritis : a biopsychosocial approach

    Författare :Carina Boström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :arthritis; rheumatoid; arm; pain measurement; motion range; movement; function; muscle skeletal; disability evaluation; human activities; health status indicators; exercise;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to evaluate both specially-designed and commonly used instruments for measuring impairments, activity limitation and health-related quality of life (overall Sickness Impact Profile (SIP)). The focus was on shoulder and upper extremity. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Multiprofessional rehabilitation for women with fibromyalgia : quantitative and qualitative studies

    Författare :Monika Löfgren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Multiprofessional rehabilitation; qualitative studies; strategies; fibromyalgia; chronic widespread musculoskeletal pain; body awareness; movement quality; EMG; muscle activity;

    Sammanfattning : The overall aims of the present work were to obtain further knowledge of the effects ofmultiprofessional rehabilitation programmes for women with fibromyalgia (FM) or chronic widespread musculoskeletal pain (CWMP) and to elucidate what strategies women with FM use and find successful in controlling their symptoms. The underlying purpose was to improve rehabilitation further and thereby increase the possibilities for these women to live actively, return to work and continue working. LÄS MER
