1. Cutaneous effects of nerve injury : An experimental study in the rat
Sammanfattning : One of the most difficult tasks of the hand surgeon is to reach a satisfactory restoration of the nerve functions of the injuried hand. In spite of the use of meticulous microsurgery, the results of nerve repair are disappointing, particularly with respect to mixed nerve trunks. LÄS MER
2. Tactile Sensory Control of Dexterous Manipulation in Humans
Sammanfattning : During dexterous manipulation with the fingertips, forces are applied to objects' surfaces. To achieve grasp stability, these forces must be appropriate given the properties of the objects and the skin of the fingertips, and the nature of the task. LÄS MER
3. To grip and not to slip : sensorimotor mechanisms in reactive control of grasp stability
Sammanfattning : The reactive control of fingertip forces maintaining grasp stability was examined in man during a prehensile task. Blindfolded subjects used the precision grip between the tips of index finger and thumb to restrain an object that was subjected to unpredictable load forces. These were delivered tangential to the parallel grip surfaces of the object. LÄS MER
4. Immediate breast reconstruction with implants in breast cancer patients
Sammanfattning : Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer among Swedish women. The incidence has increased since the beginning of the 1970s. Simultaneously the age-standardized mortality has been relatively constant, which is probably explained by earlier tumour detection as a result of improved diagnostic methods and treatment advances.

5. Brain plasticity and hand function
Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to investigate the effects of cortical reorganisational changes following experimental deafferentation and peripheral nerve injury and apply the concept of brain plasticity to enhance sensory re-education following peripheral nerve injury and repair in the hand. In the first two papers the effects on hand function of contralateral deafferentation was investigated. LÄS MER
