3. 2. Sensorimotor behavior in children born preterm and adolescents with Cerebral Palsy : Side preference, movement organization, and training

   Författare :Anna-Maria Johansson; Louise Rönnqvist; Erik Domellöf; Janette Atkinson; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; prematurity; preterm; children; cerebral palsy; movement organization; movement performance; goal-directed; laterality; handedness; intelligence; cognition; synchronized metronome training; intervention; Psychology; psykologi;

   Sammanfattning : Preterm birth (< 37 complete gestation weeks, GWs) is the single most prominent risk factor for the development of cerebral palsy (CP). This is due to the immature physiological state of the preterm born infant which increases the risk of brain lesions. LÄS MER

4. 3. Neuromuscular aspects of eccentric knee extensor actions : effects of electrical stimulation, age, gender and training

   Författare :Jan Seger; Alf Thorstensson; Roger Enoka; Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Physiology; Fysiologi; children; concentric; eccentric; efficiency; electrical stimulation; electromyography; growth; inhibition; isokinetic; specificity; strength; training;

   Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis was to study the effects of electrical stimulation, age, gender and training on the torque- and EMG-velocity relationships during eccentric knee extensor muscle actions in man. An isokinetic custom-built dynamometer was evaluated and used throughout the thesis. LÄS MER

5. 4. Postural adjustments in sitting position : effect of development, training and brain lesions

   Författare :Eva Brogren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :postural adjustments; development; training; cerebral palsy; preterm birth; brain lesions;

   Sammanfattning : The aim of the present study was to investigate the development of postural adjustments, and how this development could be affected by daily training and early brain lesions. To this end postural adjustments were assessed by means of multiple surface EMGs of neck, trunk and leg muscles and kinematics in various well documented groups of children. LÄS MER

7. 5. Evaluation of attention training after aquired brain injury : an occupational perspective

   Författare :Kristina Sargénius Landahl; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : AIM: The aim of this thesis was to evaluate the effects of two different approaches of attention training, Attention Process Training (APT) and Activity-based Attention Training (ABAT) after ABI, on level of activity and participation. To be able to assess the effect of attention training on work performance, the aim of the first study in this thesis was to develop and validate a structured attention-demanding work task to be used as a task application for the Assessment of Work Performance (AWP).
