1. Surgical restoration of grasp control in tetraplegia
Sammanfattning : Surgical Restoration of Grasp Control in Tetraplegia Carina Reinholdt Department of Orthopedics/Hand Surgery, Institute of Clinical Sciences, The Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Göteborg, Sweden ABSTRACT Aim: The overall aim of this thesis was to improve the grasp and release function of patients with tetraplegia undergoing reconstructive hand surgery. In order to reach this objective, new and more cost-efficient surgical concepts with maintained patient safety were designed. LÄS MER
2. Hand function in children and in persons with neurological disorders : aspects of movement control and evaluation of measurements
Sammanfattning : Hand function is of great importance in the many daily activities that require well-coordinated hand and arm movements. Measurement of hand function is an essential element in the rehabilitation process, in order to facilitate medical diagnosis and determine developmental stages, functional levels, and the efficacy of treatment interventions.

3. Congenital upper limb anomalies : studies of epidemiology and hand function
Sammanfattning : Objectives: This thesis has three interrelated aims. (1) To describe the epidemiology of congenital upper limb anomalies (CULA) in Stockholm County, Sweden, in order to augment the few existing population studies of CULA (paper I); (2) To measure the incidence of different categories of CULA while using and evaluating a recently proposed new classification scheme (Oberg, Manske and Tonkin (OMT) Classification) based on more current knowledge of limb development than the previously used International Federation of Societies for Surgery of the Hand (IFSSH) Classification is based on (paper II); and (3) To investigate the relationship between measurements of body function and structure with both activity and participation in children and adults with radial longitudinal deficiency (RLD) by using the International Classification of Functioning and Health (ICF) framework, in order to shed light on what aspects of physical limb function and structure actually affect individuals’ daily life activity (papers III and IV).

4. The scaphoid : from fracture to fusion
Sammanfattning : In paper I, the incidence, treatment approaches, and rates of nonunion in scaphoid fractures were examined using data from 34,377 patients recorded in the Swedish National Patient Register (NPR) between 2006-2015. The accuracy of NPR data was confirmed through validation involving 300 patients, revealing that approximately 41% of diagnosed scaphoid fractures were false positives. LÄS MER
5. Neurotoxicity after poisonings with organophosphate pesticides in Nicaragua
Sammanfattning : In Nicaragua rates of acute human poisonings caused by pesticides, in spite of significant underreporting, are among the highest in the world. Hence the unrestricted availability of pesticides and their misuse, as well as the continuous increase in annual imports of pesticides are reasons for public health concern. LÄS MER
