  1. 6. Postural balance, physical activity and capacity among young people with intellectual disability

    Författare :Sven Blomqvist; Börje Rehn; Anita Wester; Gunnevi Sundelin; Rolf Moe-Nilssen; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; mental retardation; postural stability; muscle strength; balance perturbation; aerobic capacity; young adults;

    Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate postural balance, physical activity, physical capacity and their associations in young people (16-20 years) with intellectual disability (ID), mild to moderate. The aim was also to study the reliability and concurrent validity of postural balance tests. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Dizziness and fear of falling: A behavioural and physiological approach to Phobic Postural Vertigo

    Författare :Johan Holmberg; Lund näs- och halssjukdomar Öron-; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; klinisk psykologi; psykosomatik; Psychiatry; audiologi; Otorinolaryngologi; audiology; Otorhinolaryngology; clinical; patients; exposure; behaviour; cognitive; psychological; psychotherapy; proprioceptive; postural control; Anxiety; Psykiatri; clinical psychology; hörsel- och talorganen; auditive system and speech; psychosomatics;

    Sammanfattning : Dizziness is a common problem and it often co-exists with anxiety. Level of anxiety is the best predictor of handicap for dizzy patients. There is diagnostic controversy and few treatment programs for such patients. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Neuronal mechanisms of feedback postural control

    Författare :Li-Ju Hsu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :postural control; equilibrium; body configuration; reticulospinal neurons; stretch receptor neurons; galvanic vestibular stimulation; artificial feedback; locomotion; spinalization; rabbit; lamprey;

    Sammanfattning : Different species maintain a basic body posture due to the activity of the postural control system. An efficient control of the body orientation, as well as the body configuration, is important for standing and during locomotion. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis : Postural Stability, Prognostic factors and Impact of Conservative Treatments on Radiologic, Clinical and Self-Reported Outcomes

    Författare :Marlene Dufvenberg; Allan Abbott; Birgitta Öberg; Paul Gerdhem; Hans Tropp; Josefine Naili; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Idiopathic Scoliosis; Postural stability; Spinal Appearance; Health-Related Quality of Life; Adherence; Physical Activity; Brace; Scoliosis-Specific Exercise; Prognosis; Survival Models;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional distortion of spinal curvature of unknown cause that develops during puberty. If the frontal plane curvature exceeds a Cobb angle of 24°, full-time bracing is recommended to prevent curve progression, negative health consequences or need for surgery. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Visual influences on vestibular compensation and postural control

    Författare :Anna Hafström; Lund näs- och halssjukdomar Öron-; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Otorhinolaryngology; audiology; auditive system and speech; Otorinolaryngologi; Medicin människa och djur ; Vestibular schwannoma; Alcohol intoxication.; Medicine human and vertebrates ; Vestibular deafferentation; Visual-vestibular interactions; Subjective visual horizontal and vertical; Visual dependence; Utriculus; Balance; Vision; audiologi; hörsel- och talorganen;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis aimed to investigate visual-vestibular interactions in healthy subjects and in patients with a well defined unilateral vestibular lesion (vestibular schwannoma before and six months after translabyrinthine surgery). Visual information is particularly important for balance control during perturbed stance. LÄS MER
