  1. 16. Dynamic posturography in evaluating human equilibrium

    Författare :Torbjörn Ledin; Måns Magnusson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : Equilibrium assessment by means of posturography can be performed ina dynamic fashion, meaning that the environment does not remainstable during the test. In the EquiTest dynamic posturography version, the support surface and the visual surround are movable, actively or in response to body movements. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Studies on pathophysiology and effects of botulinumtoxin in focal dystonia

    Författare :Tomas Odergren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The pathophysiology of focal dystonia, such as cervical dystonia (CD) and writer's cramp (WR) is far from determined and the development of effective treatment is thus impeded. The dystonia in WR is often action-specific, and most dystonic patients experience an action-induced worsening of the symptoms. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Hand function in children and in persons with neurological disorders : aspects of movement control and evaluation of measurements

    Författare :Elisabeth Svensson; Charlotte Häger-Ross; Birgitta Lindmark; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cerebellum; disability; hand function; hereditary motor and sensory neuropathies; latency; motor control; reactive control; reproducibility; sensation; strength; Physiotherapy; Sjukgymnastik fysioterapi;

    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.

  5. 19. The Influence of Climate and Public Health Interventions on Aedes Vectors and Dengue in Sri Lanka

    Författare :Prasad Liyanage; Joacim Rocklöv; Yesim Tozan; Hasitha Tissera; Flemming Konradsen; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Dengue; weather; climate; El Niño; Aedes vector indices; human mobility; vector control; cost-effectiveness analysis; Sri Lanka; Kalutara.;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction: Dengue, a viral infection transmitted by Aedes mosquitos, flourishes in urban tropical environments by a complex process. Interactions among susceptible humans, dengue viruses, and Aedes mosquitoes determine dengue transmission patterns, and these interactions are modified by driving factors related to weather, the environment, and human behaviour, including mobility.

  7. 20. Vestibular rehabilitation therapy in dizziness and disequilibrium

    Författare :Ann-Sofi Kammerlind; Krister Brantberg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :vestibular; dizziness; disequilibrium; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP;

    Sammanfattning : Dizziness and disequilibrium can be caused by several dysfunctions within the balance system, and are common symptoms especially in higher ages. The general aim of this thesis was to evaluate the effects of vestibular rehabilitation therapy in patients with dizziness and disequilibrium, and to examine the influence of age, vestibular function and psychological aspects on recovery.
