  2. 1. A Comprehensive Approach to Modeling and Control of Thermomechanical Pulping Processes

    Author : Daniel Berg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : The central issue of the thesis is modeling and control of the Thermomechanical Pulp (TMP) process in which large refiners are used to produce pulp for newsprint. The TMP process is one of the most complex and versatile, electricity consuming industrial processes today. READ MORE

  4. 2. Walking ability, balance and accidental falls in persons with Multiple Sclerosis

    Author : Ylva Nilsagård; Lars-Gunnar Gunnarsson; Eva Denison; Katrin Boström; Christina H. Opava; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : multiple sclerosis; cooling garment; gait; walking; balance; reliability; validity; accidental falls; prediction; ICF; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Medicin; Medicine;

    Abstract : By using a pragmatic paradigm, different research methodologies were employed in this thesis. MS-related symptoms may be exaggerated due to heatsensitivity and it is supposed that cooling garments relieve the symptoms. READ MORE

  5. 3. Balance performance in people with Parkinson’s disease. Effects of subthalamic Deep Brain Stimulation

    Author : Maria H Nilsson; Aktivt och hälsosamt åldrande; []
    Keywords : Parkinson s disease; Deep Brain Stimulation; subthalamic nucleus; balance; falls.; fear of falling;

    Abstract : The overall aims of this work were to investigate if Deep Brain Stimulation in the subthalamic nuclei (STN) affected balance, fear of falling and falls in people with Parkinson's disease. The effect of STN stimulation alone was investigated in Papers I, II and III. READ MORE

  6. 4. Movement Control after Stroke : Studies on Sit-to-walk and on the Relations between Clinical and Laboratory Measures

    Author : Gunilla Elmgren Frykberg; Jörgen Borg; Helga Hirschfeld; Charlotte Häger-Ross; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; stroke; sit-to-walk; movement analysis; force analysis; postural control; Berg Balance Scale; Physiotherapy; Sjukgymnastik fysioterapi; Rehabilitation Medicine; Rehabiliteringsmedicin;

    Abstract : Aims: The principal aims of this research were 1) to extend existing knowledge of the everyday sit-to-walk (STW) transfer in subjects with stroke and in matched controls by exploring temporal, kinematic, and kinetic aspects, and 2) to investigate the relations between some clinical and laboratory measures of postural control and locomotion in stroke rehabilitation and research. Methods: Ten community-living subjects with stroke (mean age 59 years) and ten matched controls were enrolled in the STW studies (Studies I, II, and IV). READ MORE

  7. 5. Postural balance, anxiety and motor function after stroke, at a very early supported discharge with continued rehabilitation

    Author : Lena Rafsten; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Stroke; Rehabilitation; Postural balance; Physical therapy; Upper extremity; Anxiety;

    Abstract : The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate postural balance, anxiety and motor function the first year after stroke and whether postural balance, anxiety and motor function was different at the intervention of Very Early Supported Discharge (VESD) com-pared to routine discharge during the first year post stroke. Methods. READ MORE
