  2. 1. Biomechanical consequences of gait impairment at the ankle and foot : Injury, malalignment, and co-contraction

    Author : Ruoli Wang; Elena Gutierrez-Farewik; Eva Broström; Eriksson Anders; Ilse Jonkers; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; muscle function; gait analysis; induced acceleration; foot kinematics; dynamic joint stiffness;

    Abstract : The human foot contributes significantly to the function of the whole lower extremity during standing and locomotion. Nevertheless, the foot and ankle often suffer injuries and are affected by many musculoskeletal and neurological pathologies. READ MORE

  4. 2. Sensorimotor function following anterior cruciate ligament injury : movement control, proprioception and neuropsychological perspectives

    Author : Adam Grinberg; Charlotte Häger; Martin Björklund; Dario G. Liebermann; Clare Ardern; Umeå universitet; []

    Abstract : Background: The high incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries in sports suggests an involvement of both biomechanical and neurocognitive risk factors. Athletes are constantly exposed to challenging sports scenarios, which are often characterised by high-intensity movements combined with a multi-stimuli environment and continuous psychological pressure.

    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; mathematical models; biomechanics; range of motion; ankle injury; injury mechanisms; ligament failure; center of rotation; ankle and subtalar joints; ankle fracture;

    Abstract : The purpose of this thesis is to acquire better knowledge of foot-ankle injuries because of their increasing importance in car crashes. Three approaches were used: epidemiology, biomechanics and mathematical modeling. READ MORE

  6. 4. Injury profile and injury risk factors in junior tennis players

    Author : Nina Hjelm; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The aim of the present investigation was to prospectively study injuries sustained by a cohort of junior players at all levels in a typical tennis club with respect to gender, anatomic location of injuries, type of injuries, and their degree of severity as well as cause of injuries, injury occasion and time of the year when injured. A further aim was to evaluate potential intrinsic as well as extrinsic injury risk factors in the same junior tennis players. READ MORE

  7. 5. Cutaneous effects of nerve injury : An experimental study in the rat

    Author : Nenad Stankovics; Göran Lundborg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : One of the most difficult tasks of the hand surgeon is to reach a satisfactory restoration of the nerve functions of the injuried hand. In spite of the use of meticulous microsurgery, the results of nerve repair are disappointing, particularly with respect to mixed nerve trunks. READ MORE
