  1. 1. Chronic exertional compartment syndrome of the lower leg : a novel diagnosis in diabetes mellitus: a clinical and morphological study of diabetic and non-diabetic patients

    Författare :David Edmundsson; Göran Toolanen; Per Stål; Jorma Styf; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Chronic compartment syndrome; diabetes mellitus; Orthopaedics; Ortopedi; Orthopaedics; ortopedi;

    Sammanfattning : Chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS) of the lower leg, defined as a condition with exercise-induced pain due to increased intramuscular pressure (IMP), has previously mainly been described in running athletes, and etiologic factors are poorly described. CECS has not been reported to occur together with other diseases and information about consequences on muscles morphology after treatment with fasciotomy is largely unknown. LÄS MER

  3. 2. lntramuscular pressure in the lower leg - Studies on chronic exertional compartment syndrome and effects of external compression

    Författare :Sophia Lindorsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; intramuscular pressure; external compression; compartment syndrome; chronic exertional compartment syndrome; fasciotomy;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis on intramuscular pressure (IMP) in the lower leg is concerned with two topics. The first of these is external compression; more specifically, the effect of compression stockings (CS). There are conflicting data on how compression garments such as CS affect IMP and muscle function during activity. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Methods in Diagnosing Chronic Anterior Compartment Syndrome. A clinical study in patients with exercise induced leg pain

    Författare :Kajsa Rennerfelt; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; chronic compartment syndrome; exercise-induced leg pain; near-infrared spectroscopy; patient pain drawing; intramuscular pressure;

    Sammanfattning : Chronic anterior compartment syndrome (CACS) is a painful condition within one or more muscle compartment(s) in the lower leg. It impedes blood flow and muscular function due to elevated intramuscular pressure. The diagnostic criteria are the subject of debate. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Pulse-Synchronous Intramuscular Pressure Oscillations

    Författare :Andreas Nilsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; compartment syndrome; chronic anterior compartment syndrome; intramuscular pressure; pulse-synchronous oscillations in intramuscular pressure; ; intramuscular arterial pulsations; fiber-optic technique;

    Sammanfattning : Background Intramuscular pressure (IMP) is measured in studies of tissue nutrition and in the diagnosis of compartment syndromes. Patients with compartment syndromes have an elevated IMP due to increased volume in a muscle compartment. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Patellofemoral pain syndrome : clinical and pathophysiological considerations

    Författare :Jan Näslund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Patellofemoral pain syndrome; pain mechanism; bone blood flow; ischemia;

    Sammanfattning : Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders and is reported to affect 15%-33% of the active adult population and 21%-45% of adolescents. Among adolescents, the incidence is reported to be higher for girls. LÄS MER
