1. 6. The subjective visual horizontal in the diagnosis of vestibular disorders : physiological and clinical considerations

   Författare :Arne Tribukait; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Vestibular system; vestibular tests; vestibular neuritis; Meniere sdisease; gentamicin treatment; vestibular compensation; stapedotomy; spatial orientation; gravity otoliths; utricle; saccule; semicircular canals; subjective visual horizontal; roll;

   Sammanfattning : In the examination of patients with vestibular disturbances the diagnostic techniques are almost entirely focused on the semicircular canals. However, a considerable number of the patients have symptoms which are suggestive of an affection of the otolith organs, e.g. false sensations of tilt or linear motion and even sudden falls. LÄS MER

3. 7. Evaluation of nasal speech : a study of assessments by speech-language pathologists, untrained listeners and nasometry

   Författare :Karin Brunnegård; Jan van Doorn; Anette Lohmander; Fiona Gibbon; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; hypernasality; auditory perceptual evaluation; reliability; nasometer; nasalance; Logopedics and phoniatrics; Logopedi och foniatrik;

   Sammanfattning : Excessive nasal resonance in speech (hypernasality) is a disorder which may have negative communicative and social consequences for the speaker. Excessive nasal resonance is often associated with cleft lip and palate, velopharyngeal impairment, dysarthria or hearing impairment. LÄS MER

4. 8. Topography of auditory evoked cortical potentials in children with severe language impairment

   Författare :Inger Tonnquist-Uhlén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Auditory evoked potentials - Brain map - Topography - Child - Languageimpairment - Auditory perceptual disorders;

   Sammanfattning : Development of normal speech and language functions is closely related to normal hearing. However, most children with delayed or disturbed speech development show normal tone thresholds and here the investigation has to include higher levels in the auditory system. LÄS MER

5. 9. Associations between body functions, activities and health-related quality of life from onset until 18 months after stroke

   Författare :Anna-Karin Welmer; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Hand function; health-related quality of life; mobility limitation; muscle spasticity; paresis; perceptual disorders; self-care; somatosensory disorders; stroke; synergy;

   Sammanfattning : Introduction and aims: In planning rehabilitation services for patients with stroke, it is important to know the frequency of the impairments and activity limitations presented by the patients and also how each body function and activity is associated with other body functions and activities, as well as the patients health-related quality of life (HRQL) at different time-points after stroke. The overall aims of the thesis were to describe body functions, activities and HRQL in patients with stroke and to analyse the associations between those variables, in the first week and at three and 18 months after stroke onset.

7. 10. Speech, voice, language and cognition in individuals with spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA)

   Författare :Ellika Schalling; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Spinocerebellar ataxias (SCA) constitute a group of genetically defined hereditary, degenerative, progressive diseases affecting the cerebellum and its connections. Few previous investigations have focused on how SCA affects different aspects of communication. LÄS MER
