  1. 6. Knee joint kinematics and the effects of arthropasty component design

    Författare :Tuuli Saari; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Total knee replacement; motion analysis; radiostereometry; migration; kinematics; radiolucent lines; clinical outcome;

    Sammanfattning : Aims: To evaluate the influence of medial osteoarthritis on knee joint kinematics and the effect of design in total knee replacements (TKR) on the kinematics of trunk, hip, knee and ankle. Associations between articulating surface design, clinical outcome and fixation of the tibial component were also evaluated. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Passenger kinematics in evasive maneuvers

    Författare :Emma Larsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; volunteer kinematics; Active Human Body Model; pre-crash; active muscles; occupant variability; evasive maneuvers;

    Sammanfattning : In situations that might lead to a vehicle crash, drivers often perform an evasive maneuver, such as braking or steering, in an attempt to avoid a crash. If a crash was not avoided, the maneuver could influence the injury outcome by altering the occupant’s position. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Knee joint laxity and kinematics after anterior cruciate ligament rupture : roentgen stereophotogrammetric and clinical evaluation before and after treatment

    Författare :Håkan Jonsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Anterior cruciate ligament; Kinematics; Anterior-posterior laxity; Surgery; Roentgen stereophotogrammetric analysis; Muscle strength; Functional tests;

    Sammanfattning : Rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) increases anterior-posterior (AP) laxity. The treatment aims to reduce or teach the patient to control this instability. Altered kinematics due to absent ligament function may result in knee arthrosis. This study evaluated the clinical and functional results of reconstructive surgery. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Catching the invisible - aerodynamic tracks and kinematics of bat and bird flight

    Författare :Marta Wolf; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; flight; bats; birds; kinematics; vertebrates; aerodynamics;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis is about the flight of vertebrates and the studies of different modes of flight. Flight has always fascinated mankind and this fascination gave inspiration for our attempts at flying. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Virtual reality based kinematics for assessment of post-stroke upper limb function

    Författare :Netha Hussain; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; stroke; motion analysis; upper extremity; arm function; kinematics; virtual reality; outcome assessment; rehabilitation; recovery of function; task performance and analysis;

    Sammanfattning : The main scope of this thesis was to develop a method for assessing the upper limb sensorimotor function following stroke using virtual reality-based technique. The studies reported in this thesis included 67 individuals extracted from the SALGOT (Stroke Arm Longitudinal Study at the University of Gothenburg) cohort and 43 healthy controls. LÄS MER
