1. Upper extremity disability after stroke. Psychometric properties of outcome measures and perceived ability to perform daily hand activities
Abstract : Disability of the upper extremity is common after stroke. To be able to evaluate recovery and effects of interventions there is a need for stable and precise outcome measures. In order to design and target efficient rehabilitation interventions it is important to know which factors that affect the ability to perform daily hand activities. READ MORE

2. Constraint Induced Movement Therapy : influence of restraint and type of training on performance and on brain plasticity
Abstract : Partial paralysis of the hand is one of the main impairments after stroke. Constraint Induced Movement Therapy (CIT) is a new treatment technique that appears to improve upper extremity function after stroke. READ MORE

3. Robotic Manipulation under Uncertainty and Limited Dexterity
Abstract : Robotic manipulators today are mostly constrained to perform fixed, repetitive tasks. Engineers design the robot’s workcell specifically tailoredto the task, minimizing all possible uncertainties such as the location of tools and parts that the robot manipulates. READ MORE

4. Vision-Based In-Hand Manipulation with Limited Dexterity
Abstract : In-hand manipulation is an action that allows for changing the grasp on an object without the need for releasing it. This action is an important component in the manipulation process and helps solving many tasks. Human hands are dexterous instruments suitable for moving an object inside the hand. READ MORE

5. Neural correlates of skilled movement : functional mapping of the human brain with fMRI and PET
Abstract : Humans have unique abilities to perform certain types of skilled voluntary movements. In this thesis we examine the neural substrates of. (i) fine digit actions, in particular the control of fingertip forces during manipulation, and (ii) the coordination of voluntary movements of different limbs. READ MORE
