1. Quantifying Gait Characteristics and Neurological Effects in people with Spinal Cord Injury using Data-Driven Techniques
Sammanfattning : Spinal cord injury, whether traumatic or nontraumatic, can partially or completely damage sensorimotor pathways between the brain and the body, leading to heterogeneous gait abnormalities. Mobility impairments also depend on other factors such as age, weight, time since injury, pain, and walking aids used. LÄS MER
2. Biomechanical consequences of gait impairment at the ankle and foot : Injury, malalignment, and co-contraction
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. Human motion prediction using wearable sensors and machine Learning
Sammanfattning : Accurately measuring and predicting human movement is important in many contexts, such as in rehabilitation and the design of assistive devices. Thanks to the development and availability of a wide variety of sensors, scientists study human movement in many settings and capture characteristic properties unique to individuals as well as to larger study populations.

4. Muscular forces from static optimization
Sammanfattning : At every joint there is a redundant set of muscle activated during movement or loading of the system. Optimization techniques are needed to evaluate individual forces in every muscle. The objective in this thesis was to use static optimization techniques to calculate individual muscle forces in the human extremities. LÄS MER
5. Neurodegenerative diseases studied in human brain and rodent models
Sammanfattning : Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease are the two most common neurodegenerative diseases world-wide, but are still little understood. Papers in this thesis examine some of the possible pathogenic mechanisms with the help of mouse models and analysis of human post-mortem tissue. LÄS MER
