1. 1. Congenital muscular torticollis

   Författare :Anna Öhman; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; craniofacial asymmetry; rotation; lateral flexion; muscle function; infants; reference values; torticollis; early motor milestones; stretching treatment; physiotherapy;

   Sammanfattning : Aim: The purpose of these studies was to undertake a survey of functional and cosmetic status in children treated for congenital muscular torticollis (CMT), to examine validity and reliability of the Muscle Function Scale (MFS), to find reference values for rotation and lateral flexion of the neck and muscle function of the lateral flexors in the neck for the normally developing infant, to investigate if infants with CMT are at higher risk of achieving the early motor milestones later compared to a control group of healthy infants and to investigate if treatment duration is affected when stretching is carried out by an experienced physiotherapist compared to parents. Methods: Range of motion (ROM) in neck rotation was measured with an arthrodial protractor. LÄS MER

3. 2. Asymmetric lateral loading of the human trunk

   Författare :Qiang-Min Huang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Eccentric; concentric; isokinetic; electromyography; co-activation; trunk; spinal biomechanics; contraction patterns; lateral bending; lifting and lowering; balance; kinematics; postural control; IAP; support translation.;

   Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis was to characterize the biomechanics and neuromuscular control of the human trunk in response to asymmetric lateral loading. The pulling force and strength capacities as well as muscle activation patterns, trunk kinematics and postural balance in relation to lateral trunk flexion and loading were given special consideration.

5. 4. Elbow kinematics : studies of the elbow joint under normal conditions and after joint replacement

   Författare :Anne Ericson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Total elbow arthroplasty (TEA) is used for treatment of patients with severe pain and disability due to reumatoid arthritis. Long term results are not as good as for hip and knee replacements. LÄS MER

7. 5. Musculoskeletal disorders in Swedish military aircrew : screening and clinical examination of the cervico-thoracic region

   Författare :Matthias Tegern; Ulrika Aasa; Björn Äng; Karin Harms-Ringdahl; Mari Lundberg; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Musculoskeletal disorders; Pain; Swedish Armed Forces; aircrew; pilots; physiotherapy; reliability; sjukgymnastik; Physiotherapy;

   Sammanfattning : Musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) are a common and growing occupational problem in military aircrew. Intervention studies attempting to reduce such issues have only showed limited preventive effects. Furthermore, in-depth knowledge of the clinical presentation of aircrew members with painful episodes is lacking. LÄS MER
