1. Regulation of striated muscle contraction
Sammanfattning : Background and Aims: Muscle contraction involves cross-bridge interaction between actin and myosin filaments, which is regulated by variations of intracellular [Ca2+] and influenced by several external control systems. To characterize the mechanism of contraction, we have studied the effects of pharmacological compounds influencing the actin-myosin interaction and/or Ca2+ activation systems. LÄS MER
2. Biomechanical consequences of gait impairment at the ankle and foot : Injury, malalignment, and co-contraction
Sammanfattning : The human foot contributes significantly to the function of the whole lower extremity during standing and locomotion. Nevertheless, the foot and ankle often suffer injuries and are affected by many musculoskeletal and neurological pathologies. LÄS MER
3. Classification of muscle stretch receptor afferents in humans
Sammanfattning : The response patterns of human stretch receptors in the finger extensor muscles of the forearm were studied using the microneurography technique. Single-unit recordings were obtained from one-hundred and twenty-four afferents. LÄS MER
4. Quantification of cardiovascular flow and motion : aspects of regional myocardial function and flow patterns in the aortic root and the aorta
Sammanfattning : Quantification of cardiovascular flow and motion is essential in the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of cardiovascular disease. The accuracy and quantification of many imaging methods used in this field have important shortfalls, however, that result from limitations in spatial and temporal dimensions. LÄS MER
5. Muscle Responses in Dynamic Events. Volunteer experiments and numerical modelling for the advancement of human body models for vehicle safety assessment
Sammanfattning : Fatalities and injuries to car occupants in motor vehicle crashes continue to be aserious global socio-economic issue. Advanced safety systems that provide improvedoccupant protection and crash mitigation have the potential to reduce this burden. LÄS MER
