  1. 1. Spinal fractures related to ankylosing spondylitis : Epidemiology, clinical outcome and biomechanics

    Författare :Yohan Robinson; Claes Olerud; Helena Saraste; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ankylosing spondylitis; spinal fractures; Orthopaedics; Ortopedi;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Spinal fractures related to ankylosing spondylitis (AS) are often associated with serious complications. Therefore, knowledge of the incidence, best treatment, outcome, and prevention would assist in improving current guidelines. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Quantifying Gait Characteristics and Neurological Effects in people with Spinal Cord Injury using Data-Driven Techniques

    Författare :Minh Truong; Elena Gutierrez-Farewik; Ruoli Wang; Emelie Butler Forslund; Åke Seiger; Peter Christian Raffalt; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; gait analysis; pathological gait; biomechanics; health informatics; metabolic cost; unsupervised learning; nonparametric regression; shapley addictive explanations; gånganalys; funktionsnedsättning; gångpatologi; energiförbrukning; maskininlärning; hälsoinformatik; biomekanik; AI; Teknisk mekanik; Engineering Mechanics;

    Sammanfattning : Spinal cord injury, whether traumatic or nontraumatic, can partially or completely damage sensorimotor pathways between the brain and the body, leading to heterogeneous gait abnormalities. Mobility impairments also depend on other factors such as age, weight, time since injury, pain, and walking aids used. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Seated postural reactions to mechanical shocks : laboratory studies with relevance for risk assessment and prevention of musculoskeletal disorders among drivers

    Författare :Tobias Stenlund; Börje Rehn; Ronnie Lundström; Ola Lindroos; Fredrik Öhberg; Rolf Moe-Nilssen; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Postural balance; Posture; Electromyography; Musculoskeletal pain; Whole-body vibration; Reliability; Kinematics; Biomechanics; sjukgymnastik; Physiotherapy;

    Sammanfattning : Professional drivers of off-road vehicles, driving on irregular terrain such as in forestry, agriculture and mining, are exposed to whole-body vibration and mechanical shocks. These driver groups have reported severe musculoskeletal problems in the spine, but the association to seated postural reactions is not fully understood. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Novel Materials and Implant Designs for the Treatment of Degenerative Disc Disease

    Författare :Salim Ghandour; Cecilia Persson; Donal McNally; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Topology Optimization; Spine; Intervertebral Disc; Papain; Additive Manufacturing; Biomechanics; Bone Cement; PMMA; Calcium Phosphate; Cage; Fusion; Engineering Science with specialization in Biomedical Engineering; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot medicinsk teknik;

    Sammanfattning : The overarching objective of this thesis was to develop intervertebral implants for degenerated discs through design, fabrication, and mechanical validation. The research had four primary aims, each addressing different facets of implant development. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Biomechanics of back extension torque production about the lumbar spine

    Författare :Karl Daggfeldt; Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Medicin Teknik;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis has been to develop a realistic mechanical description of lumbar back extension torque production. Such a description is desirable for understanding how back extension torque is generated as well as how the spine and surrounding structures are loaded during back extension tasks. LÄS MER
