  1. 6. The Impact of Stressful Postures on the Physical Workload in Nursing

    Författare :Sonja Freitag; Tore J. Larsson; Andreas Seidler; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; nurses; musculoskeletal disorders; trunk posture; perceived exertion; ergonomics;

    Sammanfattning : Nursing staff have an elevated risk of developing musculoskeletal disorders, in particular in the lower back area. Statistics produced by leading industrial nations show that back problems are the world’s number one work-related health problem, and that healthcare workers suffer from a greater occurrence of such problems than workers in other professions.

  3. 7. 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

  5. 9. Spinal mobility, muscle strength and function in patients with idiopathic scoliosis. Different aspects on long term outcome

    Författare :Karin Romberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; idiopathic scoliosis; long-term outcome; spinal mobility; trunk muscle endurance; back function; thoracic mobility; pulmonary function; validity;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction: The long-term physical function outcome in patients treated for idiopathic scoliosis (IS) during childhood and adolescence has not been fully explored. In addition, there is a lack of studies where different methods to measure pulmonary function are validated in patients with early onset scoliosis. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Human body composition. Reference data and anthropometric equations. The metabolic syndrome and risk

    Författare :Ingrid Larsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :adults; anthropometry; atherosclerotic morbidity; body composition; body fat; cardiovascular disease; DEXA; dual energy x-ray absorptiometry; fat-free mass; FFM; humans; metabolic syndrome; morbidity; mortality; prediction equations; randomly selected sample; reference data; sagittal trunk diameter; TBK; total body potassium; waist circumference;

    Sammanfattning : The determination of body composition is a key to the understanding of the relation between obesity and disease. In order to evaluate body composition data, reference values are needed. Since methods with high validity and reproducibility are expensive and often time consuming, simpler techniques based on anthropometry are needed. LÄS MER
