1. 1. Gait strategy in myelomeningocele : movements, mechanics and methods

   Författare :Elena M Gutierrez; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Myelomeningocele; spina bifida; gait analysis; movement analysis; muscle paresis; compensatory movements; orthoses; centre of mass.;

   Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis was to describe the movement patterns employed in self-ambulatory children with a range of muscle paresis due to nervous tissue damage resulting from myelomeningocele, a common congenital malformation of the spinal column resulting in sensory and motor paresis. Using 3D movement analysis, the upper and lower body kinematics, movement of the center of mass, and joint moments, powers, and work done during gait in 32 children with lumbo-sacral myelomeningocele were analyzed and divided into 5 groups based on the severity of paresis.

3. 2. Som vem som helst : Kön, funktionalitet och idrottande kroppar

   Författare :Elisabet Apelmo; Sociologi; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; feminist methodology; phenomenology; disability studies; social movements; assistive technology; technology; difference; normality; feminism; gender; visual methods; video diaries; body; sport; disability sport; physical education;

   Sammanfattning : The main aim of this thesis is to explore young women’s lived experience of the body, which, on one hand, is viewed as deviant – the disabled body – and, on the other hand, is viewed as accomplished – the sporting body. The questions posed in the thesis are the following: how do the young women handle the two subject positions that emerge as a result of the perception of them as respectively deviant and accomplished, which forms of femininity are available to them and what are the strategies of resistance they develop.

4. 3. Ocular counter-rolling during head tilt

   Författare :Tony Pansell; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Eye movements; Ocular torsion; VOR; head tilt; Vision.;

   Sammanfattning : When tilting the head towards the shoulder there are numerous mechanisms influencing on the generation and maintenance of ocular counter-roll. Each of these mechanisms has its own temporal and spatial characteristics which influences on the counter-rolled eye position. LÄS MER

5. 4. Postural Control in Single-limb Stance. In Individuals with Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury and Uninjured Controls

   Författare :Eva Ageberg; Människan i rörelse: hälsa och rehabilitering; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; revalidation; kinesitherapy; Physical medicine; reproducibility of results; proprioception; rehabilitation; stabilometry; Knee joint; postural control; anterior cruciate ligament; Rehabilitering medicinsk och social ;

   Sammanfattning : The overall aims of this work were to evaluate a method of assessing postural control, measured by balance in single-limb stance on a force platform, and to study balance in single-limb stance in individuals with non-operated anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in comparison with that of uninjured controls. Ninety-nine patients (99) with ACL injury and 141 uninjured subjects were included in the studies. LÄS MER

7. 5. 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
