  1. 1. Athletic Sprint Start Biomechanics : Investigations into the relationships between three dimensional starting technique, first step width and performance

    Författare :Paul Nicolas Sandamas; Anton Arndt; Elena M. Gutierrez-Farewik; Aki Salo; Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; sprint start; step width; biomechanics; performance; angular momentum; Medicin Teknik; Medicine Technology;

    Sammanfattning : The block and early acceleration phase plays a very important role in the overall outcome of athletic sprint events. During this part of the race it is commonly observed that sprinters use a lower-body technique that involves the swing leg crossing medially in front of the athlete followed by wide steps. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Wearable systems and sensors for the assessment of motor control : Development and validation of methods for clinical assessment of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus

    Författare :Tomas Bäcklund; Nina Sundström; Anders Eklund; Jan Malm; Kaj Lindecrantz; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Gait; step-width; heel-heigt; balance; trunk sway; idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus; IMU; Inter-rater reliability; kinematics; medical informatics; medicinsk informatik;

    Sammanfattning : Human gait and balance are controlled by automatic processes in the central nervous system, and in sensory and proprioceptive systems. If a disturbance occurs in any of these complex structures, it may lead to balance and gait problems. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Assessment of balance control in relation to fall risk among older people

    Författare :Ellinor Nordin; Lillemor Lundin-Olsson; Anna Ramnemark; Gun-Britt Jarnlo; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; older people; falls; interactive gait; TUG; GUG; balance confidence; likelihood ratio; validity; reliability; risk factors; assessment; balance; gait; mobility; physical function; dual-task costs; step width; Physiotherapy; Sjukgymnastik fysioterapi;

    Sammanfattning : Falls and their consequences among older people are a serious medical and public health problem. Identifying individuals at risk of falling is therefore a major concern. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Balance control in older adults with Parkinson’s disease : effects of medication and exercise

    Författare :David Conradsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Aim: To investigate the effects of dopaminergic medications on turning while walking in older adults with mild to moderate Parkinson’s disease (PD). A further aim was to develop a training program targeting balance impairments related to PD, to verify the progression of this program and the specific effects on balance and gait, as well as the transfer effects on everyday living.

  7. 5. Gait and postural control after total knee arthroplasty

    Författare :Joakim Bjerke; Ann-Katrin Stensdotter; Eva Weidenhielm Broström; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; sjukgymnastik; Physiotherapy;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of the thesis was to investigate deficits and compensatory strategies after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in different conditions during gait and quiet standing. Although TKA is considered the gold standard treatment for end-stage knee osteoarthritis, it is associated with a number of implications. LÄS MER
