  1. 1. Muscle mass and function after total hip arthroplasty

    Författare :Anton Rasch; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Osteoarthrosis; arthritis; joint disease; hip muscle strength; hip muscle function; outcome; elderly; attenuation; fatty infiltration; gait analysis; balance;

    Sammanfattning : Osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip is a common disease among elderly causing pain, joint stiffness and reduced mobility. Outcome studies have shown total hip arthroplasy (THA) to be a successful surgical procedure. Studies of muscle strength and function after THA are more scarce and results vary. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Experimental studies of spinal mechanisms associated with muscle fatigue

    Författare :Ivana Kalezic; Vito Enrico Pettorossi; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :muscle fatigue; monosynaptic reflex; presynaptic inhibition; recurrent inhibition; fusimotor system; Fos-immunoreactivity; referral pain; kirurgi; Surgery;

    Sammanfattning : Muscle fatigue is ubiquitous in every day life.Muscle fatigue might be considered as an altered state of motor behaviour, which impairs motor performance. By contrast, muscle fatigue could also be considered a positive phenomenon, which protects muscle tissue from damage that might be incurred to it by overuse. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Idiopathic toe-walking in children : prevalence, neuropsychiatric symptoms and the effect of botulinum toxin A treatment

    Författare :Pähr Engström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Idiopathic toe-walking (ITW) is a term used to describe a state in which a child, in the absence of a known cause, walks on his or her toes, as compared to the normal heel-toe gait. The diagnosis is thus used when other defined causes are excluded. LÄS MER

    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Physical medicine; kinesitherapy; revalidation; rehabilitation; Rehabilitering medicinsk och social ; Adaptation; Postural control; Proprioception; Vestibular; Posturography; neuropsykologi; Neurologi; neurophysiology; neuropsychology; Neurology; hörsel- och talorganen; audiologi; Otorinolaryngologi; auditive system and speech; audiology; Otorhinolaryngology; Movement pattern; Sensorimotor integration; Muscle fatigue; Age; Cutaneous sensation; neurofysiologi;

    Sammanfattning : The ability to obtain correct balance control information and adjust motor performance appropriately are essential elements in effective postural control. However, functional disorders may affect the reliability of receptor information and ability to carry out corrective motions needed to maintain balance. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Muscle composition, reach, physical activity and botulinum toxin treatment in children with cerebral palsy

    Författare :Stefan Gantelius; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Cerebral palsy (CP), the most common cause of movement disorders and physical disability in children all over the world, is caused by an injury to the developing brain. Although this injury is not progressive, the manifestations of the disorder change as the child ages. LÄS MER
