  1. 1. Subject-specific musculoskeletal modeling of the lower extremities in persons with unilateral cerebral palsy

    Författare :Olesya Klets; Elena Gutierrez-Farewik; Sven Kleiven; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :cerebral palsy; moment arm; muscle length; hemiplegic; MRI; subject-specific; musculoskeletal modeling; lower extremities; muscle volume; Mechanical engineering; Maskinteknik;

    Sammanfattning : The computational musculoskeletal models that are used to study muscle moment-generating capacities of persons with movement disorders and planning treatment options must be accurate, and take into account the inter-individual variability of musculoskeletal geometry. In Paper I the methods of creating the subject-specific musculoskeletal model of the lower extremities from magnetic resonance images (MRIs) were developed. LÄS MER

  3. 2. On the relation between psychosocial work environment and musculoskeletal symptoms : a structural equation modeling approach

    Författare :Pernilla Larsman; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Psychosocial work environment; felt stress; perceived fatigue; musculoskeletal symptoms; process models; mediation; moderation; structural;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of the present thesis was to investigate the relation between aspects of the psychosocial work environment and musculoskeletal symptoms including the testing of process models of the potential mediating mechanisms of felt stress and perceived fatigue, and the potential moderating mechanism of physical workload. This thesis is based on four empirical studies. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Computational Biomechanics in Cross-country Skiing

    Författare :Joakim L. Holmberg; Anders Klarbring; Ingrid Svensson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Computer simulation; Inverse dynamics; Musculoskeletal; Optimization; Simulation model; Sports; Computational Biomechanics; Cross‐country Skiing; Engineering mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

    Sammanfattning : Traditionally, research on cross‐country skiing biomechanics is based mainly on experimental testing alone. Trying a different approach, this thesis explores the possibilities of using computational musculoskeletal biomechanics for cross‐country skiing. As far as the author knows, this has not been done before. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Musculoskeletal Biomechanics in Cross-country Skiing

    Författare :L. Joakim Holmberg; Anders Klarbring; Hans-Christer Holmberg; Anders Eriksson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Sammanfattning : Why copy the best athletes? When you finally learn their technique, they may have already moved on. Using muscluloskeletal biomechanics you might be able to add the "know-why" so that you can lead, instead of being left in the swells. LÄS MER
