  1. 1. Sensory Aspects of Knee Injuries

    Författare :David Roberts; Lund Ortopedi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; traumatologi; traumatology; Kirurgi; ortopedi; orthopaedics; Surgery; knee injuries; knee joint; threshold; anterior cruciate ligament; proprioception;

    Sammanfattning : Proprioceptive ability was estimated in different groups of patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury as well as in different groups of healthy uninjured individuals. In study I, patients with poor outcome of the ACL injury – i.e. LÄS MER

  3. 2. The Role of Odor and Sensory Irritation in Human Chemical Sensitivity

    Författare :Li Zheng; Birgitta Berglund; Staffan Hygge; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Odor and irritation detection; recognition; threshold; choice theory; intensity; chemical sensitivity; threshold; and sensitivity index.; Psychology; Psykologi; Psychology; psykologi;

    Sammanfattning : The main objective of this thesis is to apply complimentary psychophysical theories and methods to investigate human perception of odor and sensory irritation of chemical compounds present in indoor air. Three psychophysical theories: Signal Detection Theory (SDT), Threshold Theory and Luce’s Choice Theory (CT) were applied to measure detection and recognition of odor and sensory irritation of two odorous irritants (pyridine and formaldehyde) by using the method of constant stimuli.

  4. 3. Physiological properties of unmyelinated low-threshold tactile (CT) afferents in the human hairy skin

    Författare :Katarina Wiklund Fernström; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Human; microneurography; mechanoafferent; unmyelinated; sensory; touch; temperature; capsaicin;

    Sammanfattning : For more than a decade it has been known that human skin is supplied with a system of slowly conducting unmyelinated afferents that respond strongly to innocuous skin deformation (Nordin, 1990; Vallbo et al., 1993). LÄS MER

  5. 4. Foot lesions in diabetic patients aged 15-20 years : a population-based study

    Författare :Bengt Borssén; Folke Lithner; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Diabetes mellitus; Foot deformities; Sensory threshold; M. extensor digitorum brevis;

    Sammanfattning : Foot problems are not only the most common but in general also the most severe of the diabetic complications. The age group 15-50 yrs in this study was chosen because these patients were considered to be at their most active age and were felt to require optimal foot function. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Physical loads and aspects of physical performance in middle-aged men and women

    Författare :Margareta Torgén; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Medical sciences; physical work load; age; gender; muscle strength; aerobic power; sensory threshold; epidemiology; questionnaire; reproducibility; validity; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Clinical Physiology; klinisk fysiologi;

    Sammanfattning : This investigation aimed at a description of different aspects of physical loads during a 24 year follow-up (1970-1993) in 484 men and women born between 1935 and 1952, in relation to different aspects of physical performance, as measured at follow-up. The subjects were originally recruited in 1969 from the Stockholm county generalpopulation. LÄS MER
