1. Spatio-temporal processing of surface electromyographic signals : information on neuromuscular function and control
Abstract : During muscle contraction, electrical signals are generated by the muscle cells. The analysis of those signals is called electromyography (EMG). The EMG signal is mainly determined by physiological factors including so called central factors (central nervous system origin) and peripheral factors (muscle tissue origin). READ MORE

2. Ultrasonic Quantification of Skeletal Muscle Dynamics : Feasibility and Limitations
Abstract : Pain and disorders of the human skeletal muscles are one of the most common reasons for medical consultations in the western countries today and there is a great need to improve both the understanding and treatment of several different muscular conditions.Techniques describing the muscle function in vivo are often limited by either their invasiveness or lack of spatial resolution.

3. Ultrasound measurements of subclinical carotid atherosclerosis : methodological and clinical studies
Abstract : Ultrasound measurements of subclinical carotid atherosclerosis have been evaluated as an additional parameter in risk evaluation of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). The overall aim of this thesis was to increase knowledge regarding ultrasound measurements of subclinical carotid atherosclerosis. READ MORE

4. Identification of single motor units in ultrafast ultrasound image sequences of voluntary skeletal muscle contractions
Abstract : The central nervous system controls human force production by successive recruitment of motor units in the skeletal muscles and changing their neural firing rate. The motor unit comprises a motoneuron, its innervated muscle fibers, and its axons. READ MORE
