  1. 21. Physical capacity in individuals with cerebral palsy : problems, needs and resources, with special emphasis on locomotion

    Författare :Christina Andersson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Many individuals with cerebral palsy (CP) have difficulties in walking independently because of impaired postural control, abnormal tone and pathological muscular coordination. Walkers are often a prerequisite and are often prescribed for assisting and providing the stability necessary for ambulation. LÄS MER

  3. 22. Recovery and prediction of hand motor function after stroke : a longitudinal study using novel methods to quantify hand function and connectivity in brain networks

    Författare :Jeanette Plantin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Stroke is a heterogeneous disease and a leading cause of physical disability among adults, severely affecting people’s health and life worldwide. According to current figures, one in four people risk suffering a stroke during their lifetime. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Measurements of Function in Children with Cerebral Palsy

    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; kinesitherapy; Physical medicine; epidemiology; function; Cerebral palsy; measurement; children; revalidation; rehabilitation; Rehabilitering medicinsk och social ;

    Sammanfattning : Cerebral palsy (CP) is a term for a group of conditions associated with motor disabilities, that are very heterogeneous, i.e. symptoms, severity, associated impairments, functional outcome and needs. The overall purpose of this thesis was to study the prevalence and gross motor function and to evaluate and adapt measurements in children with CP. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Gene expresion in rodent spinal neuronal populations and their response to injury

    Författare :Jesper Ryge; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Motor neurons are the centre of convergence for all neural activity relating to movements. The activity integrated in the motor neurons is transmitted to appropriate muscles generating coordinated muscle contractions. LÄS MER

  7. 25. Analysis of neuropathic pain after spinal cord injury

    Författare :Lars Werhagen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Spinal cord injury; spina bifida; central cord syndrome; neuropathic pain; neuralgia;

    Sammanfattning : Longstanding neuropathic pain is a challenge in spinal cord injury (SCI) rehabilitation. Once established it is difficult to treat successfully. Neuropathic pain has a negative influence on quality of life and on the outcome of rehabilitation. The prevalence of neuropathic pain after SCI varies in different studies. LÄS MER
