1. Chronic Achilles tendon rupture - surgical reconstruction and post-operative outcomes
Abstract : When the treatment of Achilles tendon ruptures is delayed by more than 4 weeks, the rupture is classified as chronic. This thesis aims to examine the postoperative outcome of chronic Achilles tendon ruptures treated surgically in terms of long-term functional outcomes, patient-reported outcome measurements, biomolecular changes, and economic cost.

2. Neuromuscular adaptations to muscle fatigue during submaximal isometric contractions in man
Abstract : During a sustained contraction, the force producing capacity of a muscle gradually decreases. In order to maintain a constant force output, the neuromuscular system has to adapt to the contractile fatigue process. READ MORE

3. An exploration of the mechanisms behind peripheral nerve injury
Abstract : Despite surgical innovation, the sensory and motor outcome after peripheral nerve injury is incomplete. In this thesis, the biological pathways potentially responsible for the poor functional recoveries were investigated in both the distal nerve stump/target organ, spinal motoneurons and dorsal root ganglia (DRG).

4. In Vivo Evaluation of Skeletal Muscle Morphological and Mechanical Properties using Medical Imaging
Abstract : Skeletal muscles are soft tissues that play an important role in maintaining body posture and enabling movements through force generation. The force-generating capacity is associated with the morphological and mechanical properties of the muscle. READ MORE

5. Neuroprotection and axonal regeneration after peripheral nerve injury
Abstract : Following microsurgical reconstruction of injured peripheral nerves, severed axons are able to undergo spontaneous regeneration. However, the functional result is always unsatisfactory with poor sensory recovery and reduced motor function. READ MORE
