  2. 1. Cerebellar function during development. Eyeblink conditioning, prism adaptation and interval production in children and adults

    Author : Karolina Löwgren; foniatri och audiologi Logopedi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cerebellum; Eyeblink conditioning; Prism adaptation; Finger tapping; Development; Children; Adults; Cerebellar function; Neurodevelopmental disorders; Cognitive disorders;

    Abstract : The focus of this thesis is on cerebellar-dependent sensorimotor tasks during development. The performance in classical delay eyeblink conditioning, prism adaptation, and isochronous serial interval production (finger tapping) was explored in typically developing school-aged children, young adolescents, and adults.

  4. 2. Hand function in children and in persons with neurological disorders : aspects of movement control and evaluation of measurements

    Author : Elisabeth Svensson; Charlotte Häger-Ross; Birgitta Lindmark; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cerebellum; disability; hand function; hereditary motor and sensory neuropathies; latency; motor control; reactive control; reproducibility; sensation; strength; Physiotherapy; Sjukgymnastik fysioterapi;

    Abstract : Hand function is of great importance in the many daily activities that require well-coordinated hand and arm movements. Measurement of hand function is an essential element in the rehabilitation process, in order to facilitate medical diagnosis and determine developmental stages, functional levels, and the efficacy of treatment interventions.

  5. 3. Ontogenetic and comparative aspects of cerebellar and motor development

    Author : Maria Christensson; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurologi; neurophysiology; Neurology; neuropsychology; Medicine human and vertebrates ; time-translation; cross-species; cerebellum; motor adaptation; development; ferret; external granular layer; neuropsykologi; neurofysiologi; Medicin människa och djur ;

    Abstract : During the course of development the motor repertoire of animals and humans alike go through dramatic changes. New motor patterns arise; movements become coordinated, improve in precision and are at the same time continuously calibrated to the changing body dimensions. The cerebellum is critical for movement coordination and adaptation in adults. READ MORE

    Abstract : Objectives. To study different aspects of cerebral venous and arterial occlusive disease including cerebrospinalfluid hydrodynamics, epidemiology, aetiology, genetics, metabolic and haemostatic disorders, andcognitive function in young adults in Northern Sweden.Methods. READ MORE

  7. 5. Recovery and prediction of hand motor function after stroke : a longitudinal study using novel methods to quantify hand function and connectivity in brain networks

    Author : Jeanette Plantin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Stroke is a heterogeneous disease and a leading cause of physical disability among adults, severely affecting people’s health and life worldwide. According to current figures, one in four people risk suffering a stroke during their lifetime. READ MORE
