1. 1. Losing control and developing concerns : The complexities of ageing postural control and fall-related concerns

   Författare :Mascha Pauelsen; Lars Nyberg; Ulrik Röijezon; Irene Vikman; Jorunn Lægdheim Helbostad; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ageing; postural balance; postural control; sensory and motor systems; fall-related concerns; fear of falling; neurological models; Physiotherapy; Fysioterapi;

   Sammanfattning : With the world population shifting its proportions towards higher ages, it is imperative to increase healthspan rather than lifespan, both for the sakes of community sustainability as well as individual quality of life. One of the main means to obtain healthy ageing, is a concept called active ageing, as activity has shown to slow down the natural ageing process. LÄS MER

3. 2. Nervous mechanisms of postural control

   Författare :Anastasia Karayannidou; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Postural control; equilibrium; body confguration; motor cortex; reticulospinal system; standing; locomotion; spinal cord injury; cat; rabbit; lamprey;

   Sammanfattning : Maintenance of body confguration and orientation in space (postural control) is a vital motor function. A general goal of the present study was to analyze nervous feedback mechanisms for the maintenance of posture during different motor behaviors and with different postural perturbations. LÄS MER

4. 3. Analysis of different forms of locomotor behavior in lamprey

   Författare :Salma Sanzida Islam; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Motor coordination; undulatory locomotion; postural corrections; spinal cord damage; lamprey;

   Sammanfattning : The ability to locomote, that is move actively in space, is characteristic of the animal kingdom. Many species are capable of different forms of locomotion. They include forward and backward locomotion, fast and slow progression, etc. LÄS MER

5. 4. Vestibular control of body orientation in lamprey

   Författare :Elena Pavlova; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Postural control; orientation; vision; vestibular system; visuo-vestibular interaction; vestibular compensation; locomotion; supraspinal control; lamprey;

   Sammanfattning : Maintenance of body orientation (postural control) is a vital motor function of the brain. The general goal of this project was to understand the organization and operation of neuronal networks responsible for postural control. The lamprey (a lower vertebrate) was used as a model animal.

7. 5. Analysis of basic motor behaviors in quadrupeds

   Författare :Manideep Gupta Vemula; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Ability to perform locomotion in different directions and maintain upright body posture is crucial for normal life. At present, mice, which allows employing genetic approaches, are widely used in studying the locomotor system. In these investigations different experimental setups are used to evoke locomotion.
