6. Sensory impairment of the upper limb after stroke: influence on daily life and effects of a novel training approach
Sammanfattning : Abstract: Sensory impairments in the upper limb are common after stroke. Different sensory modalities can be affected such as sense of touch, pressure, pain, temperature and proprioception. The sensory impairments can negatively affect motor function, dexterity and the ability to perform daily activities. LÄS MER
7. People with multiple sclerosis in Stockholm : aspects of motor and cognitive function, activities of daily living and social/lifestyle activities
Sammanfattning : No population-based, detailed data has been published regarding persons with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) in terms of cognitive function, manual dexterity, general motor capacity, walking capacity, activities of daily living (ADL) and social/lifestyle activities. In addition, there is a lack of knowledge about associations between cognitive function, manual dexterity, walking ability, socio-demographic factors and coping capacity; and independence in ADL and normal frequency of social/lifestyle activities in a population-based sample of PwMS.

8. Quantitative methods for evaluation of tremor and neuromotor function: Application in workers exposed to neurotoxic metals and patients with essential tremor
Sammanfattning : The overall purpose of this thesis was to investigate the usefulness of certain quantitative methods for detecting or quantifying changes in tremor or other neuromotor functions. Tremor and impairment in neuromotor function may be the early signs of adverse effects due to low-level exposure to neurotoxic metals such as mercury and manganese, and are also common features of neurological diseases.

10. Development of a PKM control system by design, modelling, simulation and integration
Sammanfattning : PKM (ParallelKinematicMechanism) machines have received increasing interestfrom industries. Nevertheless, they didn't turn out goodresults in control performances as desired. One of the reasonsis the unsuitability of the available control systems for theparallel mechanisms.This thesis presents a process to develop a PKM controlsystem. LÄS MER
