1. 6. Ventilatory aspects of sleep and activity in patients with neuromuscular disorders

   Författare :Brita Klefbeck Stridsman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :assisted ventilation; cervical cord injury; inspiratory muscle training; neuromuscular diseases; sleep; oximetry; trunk stability;

   Sammanfattning : Patients with cervical cord injuries (M) and slowly progressive neuromuscular diseases, such as prior polio and muscular dystrophy, often have decreased ventilatory capacity. This could affect both their daytime level of activity and sleep quality. LÄS MER

3. 7. Pedicled and free TRAM flaps in breast reconstructions : a comparative study

   Författare :Åsa Edsander-Nord; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :breast reconstruction; TRAM; pedicled flap; free flap; microdialysis; monitoring; flap circulation; flap metabolism; glucose; lactate; glycerol; abdominal muscles; trunk muscle strength; KIN-COM; quantitative sensory testing; tactile perception threshold; thermal perception threshold; breast volume; thermoplastic; quality of life; SF-36; esthetic evaluation; applanation tonometry;

   Sammanfattning : The transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous (TRAM) flap is frequently used when autologous tissue is desired for breast reconstruction, and it can be transferred pedicled or free. The pedicled TRAM flap is elevated as a lower transverse abdominal flap with the rectus abdominis muscle attached in the epigastric area, by which means the deep superior epigastric vessels nourish the flap.

4. 8. Neuromechanical control of the spine

   Författare :Paul Hodges; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Control of the spine is complex. The spine is inherently unstable and dependent on the contribution of muscles. Yet there is considerable redundancy in the motor system with many muscles that act on the trunk. LÄS MER

5. 9. Performance and trainability in paraplegics : motor function, shoulder muscle strength and sitting balance before and after kayak ergometer training

   Författare :Anna Bjerkefors; Alf Thorstensson; Jan Fridén; Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Balance; electromyography; exercise; kinematics; motor skills; paraplegia; postural control; shoulder joint; spinal cord injury; wheelchair;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Spinal cord injury (SCI) results in a complete or partial loss of motor and/or sensory function below the injury level. An SCI causes extensive functional impairment compelling many persons to wheelchair usage. LÄS MER

7. 10. Altered movement patterns and deviating muscular activity in individuals with anterior cruciate ligament injury

   Författare :Anna Trulsson; Människan i rörelse: hälsa och rehabilitering; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Movement pattern; Physiotherapy; Motor control; Sensorimotor control; Neuromuscular control; Anterior cruciate ligament; Muscular activity; Motor skills; Single leg squat; Electromyography EMG ; Postural orientation; Assessment; Task performance; Reproducibility of findings; Performance test; Hop test; knee; dynamic joint stability;

   Sammanfattning : The purpose of this thesis was to increase the understanding of altered movement patterns in individuals with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in order to improve ACL rehabilitation, and to develop an observational instrument termed Test for Substitution Patterns (TSP) for standardized, quantifiable scoring of altered movement patterns in legs and trunk. In all, 142 participants, 93 with ACL-rupture (37 women) and 49 uninjured participants were investigated. LÄS MER
