  1. 1. Biomechanical consequences of gait impairment at the ankle and foot : Injury, malalignment, and co-contraction

    Författare :Ruoli Wang; Elena Gutierrez-Farewik; Eva Broström; Eriksson Anders; Ilse Jonkers; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; muscle function; gait analysis; induced acceleration; foot kinematics; dynamic joint stiffness;

    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. 2. Sensorimotor function following anterior cruciate ligament injury : movement control, proprioception and neuropsychological perspectives

    Författare :Adam Grinberg; Charlotte Häger; Martin Björklund; Dario G. Liebermann; Clare Ardern; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ACL; knee injury; sensorimotor control; proprioception; functional test; fear; anxiety; kinematics; electromyography; EMG; electroencephalography; EEG; brain; neuroplasticity; injury prevention; Sports Medicine; idrottsmedicin;

    Sammanfattning : Background: The high incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries in sports suggests an involvement of both biomechanical and neurocognitive risk factors. Athletes are constantly exposed to challenging sports scenarios, which are often characterised by high-intensity movements combined with a multi-stimuli environment and continuous psychological pressure.

  4. 3. Wearable systems and sensors for the assessment of motor control : Development and validation of methods for clinical assessment of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus

    Författare :Tomas Bäcklund; Nina Sundström; Anders Eklund; Jan Malm; Kaj Lindecrantz; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Gait; step-width; heel-heigt; balance; trunk sway; idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus; IMU; Inter-rater reliability; kinematics; medical informatics; medicinsk informatik;

    Sammanfattning : Human gait and balance are controlled by automatic processes in the central nervous system, and in sensory and proprioceptive systems. If a disturbance occurs in any of these complex structures, it may lead to balance and gait problems. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Biomechanical Consequences of Foot and Ankle Injury and Deformity: Kinematics and Muscle Function

    Författare :Ruoli Wang; Elena Gutierrez-Farewik; Eva Broström; Eriksson Anders; Toni Arndt; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Engineering mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

    Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis was to discuss kinematics and muscle function changes due to foot and ankle injury or deformity. The first study aims to characterize gait patterns of subjects with a common lower limb injury, ankle fractures. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Foot-Ankle Joints Responses. Epidemiology, Biomechanics and Mathematical Modeling

    Författare :Chantal S. Parenteau; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; mathematical models; biomechanics; range of motion; ankle injury; injury mechanisms; ligament failure; center of rotation; ankle and subtalar joints; ankle fracture;

    Sammanfattning : The purpose of this thesis is to acquire better knowledge of foot-ankle injuries because of their increasing importance in car crashes. Three approaches were used: epidemiology, biomechanics and mathematical modeling. LÄS MER
