  1. 21. Upper extremity functioning during the first year after stroke

    Författare :Hanna C Persson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Stroke recovery; Upper extremity; Paresis; Outcome; Process assessment; Cerebral haemorrhage; Ischemic stroke; Prognosis; Motor skills; Movement; Rehabilitation; Treatment outcome; Muscel strength; Self-report;

    Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate upper extremity functioning during the first year after stroke from different perspectives. Methods. All patients with first ever stroke, admitted to a stroke unit within 72 hours after stroke incidence were included during a period of 18 months. LÄS MER

  3. 22. Muscular activity in light manual work - with reference to the development of muscle pain among computer users

    Författare :Stefan Thorn; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Cinderella hypothesis; myalgia; muscle rest; doublets; extensor digitorum communis muscle; motor units; computer work; intramuscular electromyography; trapezius muscle;

    Sammanfattning : Work related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) in the neck/shoulder area and the upper extremities are common among computer users, despite the relatively low muscle load levels involved. Muscle pain (myalgia), primarily experienced in the neck/shoulder area, is a frequent type of WMSD. LÄS MER

  4. 23. A population-based study on neuropsychological and morphological signs of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus

    Författare :Otto Lilja-Lund; Lars Nyberg; Martin Maripuu; Katarina Laurell; Magnus Tisell; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus; cognition; dual-task; ageing; temporal horns; morphology; memory; executive function; Neurology; neurologi;

    Sammanfattning : BACKGROUND: Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is typically manifested in people over 65 years. The condition of gait disturbances, incontinence, and cognitive dysfunction can be reversed in up to 80% of the cases by ventricular shunting. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Production Systems for Manual Repetitive Jobs. Effects on Autonomy and Variety of Work and Prevalence of Musculoskeletal Disorders in Upper Limbs

    Författare :Marita Christmansson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; work design; manual repetitive jobs; task design; upper limbs; production system design; autonomy; musculoskeletal disorders; assembly jobs; variety; work behavior;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis is to improve workers' conditions and it deals particularly with companies in the engineering industry. In many of these companies, production systems are designed to have manual repetitive jobs. LÄS MER

  7. 25. To grip and not to slip : sensorimotor mechanisms in reactive control of grasp stability

    Författare :Charlotte Häger Ross; Roland S. Johansson; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; human; hand; precision grip; grasp force; friction; cutaneous mechanoreceptors; sensorimotor integration; motor control;

    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
