  1. 16. Female and Male Whole Spinal Alignment and Cervical Kinematic Responses in Rear Impacts

    Författare :Fusako Sato Sakayachi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; neck injury; spinal alignment; whiplash; cervical vertebral kinematics; volunteer; Multi-Dimensional Scaling; rear impact; automotive seated posture; MRI; female;

    Sammanfattning : The susceptibility of women to Whiplash Associated Disorders (WADs) has been the focus of numerous epidemiologic studies. Summarising the epidemiologic WAD studies, women were found to be at three times higher risk of sustaining WADs than men. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Planning of Environments for People with Physical Disabilities Using Computer Aided Design

    Författare :Joakim Eriksson; Ergonomi och aerosolteknologi; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; manikin; Virtual Reality; CAD; computer aided design; 3D graphics; design tool; participatory planning; adaptation; Rehabilitation; disability; anthropometry; Technological sciences; magnetic resonance imaging; MRI; cervical spine kinematics; Teknik; biomechanics;

    Sammanfattning : In the area of environment adaptations for people with physical disabilities, it is of vital importance that the design is optimized considering the human-environment interactions. All involved persons in such a planning process must be given sufficient support in understanding the information, so that everyone can participate actively. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Assessment of 3D movements in the lumbar and cervical spine with a new CT based method

    Författare :Per Svedmark; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Numerous methods for measuring segmental motion in spine have been described. However, because of the inaccessibility of the spine and the complexity of segmental movements, most of the noninvasive methods in use today have low accuracy or are unable to detect movements in all three cardinal axes.

  5. 19. The value of artificial disc replacement in cervical radiculopathy

    Författare :Martin Skeppholm; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background; Artificial disc replacement (ADR) is a motion-preserving implant and a further development of existing surgical implants for the treatment of cervical radiculopathy. Theoretically, an artificial disc could decrease stress on adjacent segment and thereby prevent rapid progression of degenerative changes in surrounding segments. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Sensorimotor control and cervical range of motion in women with chronic neck pain : Kinematic assessments and effects of neck coordination exercise

    Författare :Thomas Rudolfsson; Mats Djupsjöbacka; Martin Björklund; Charlotte Häger; Dario Liebermann; Anneli Peolsson; Högskolan i Gävle; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neck pain; Rehabilitation; Coordination training; Resistance training; Postural balance; randomized controlled trial; Musculoskeletal pain; Biomechanics; Range of motion; Kinematics; Head Movements;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction: Neck pain is a common problem in society and is more prevalent among women. The consequences of neck pain for the individual often include activity and participation limitations, thus affecting many dimensions of life. LÄS MER
