2. 1. Treatment Decision after Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury, and Evaluation of Measurement Properties of a Patient Reported Outcome Measure

   Author : Hanna Tigerstrand Grevnerts; Joanna Kvist; Sofi Sonesson; Håkan Gauffin; Clare Ardern; Eva Ageberg; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; anterior cruciate ligament injury; ACL; ACL reconstruction; ACLR; choice of treatment; IKDC; measurement properties; evaluation;

   Abstract : Background: After an ACL injury, treatment aims to restore knee function. Evaluation of treatment progress is important, and adequate measurement methods are necessary. The International Knee Documentation Committee- Subjective Knee Form (IKDC-SKF) is a common patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) used after ACL injury. READ MORE

4. 2. Radiological methods in rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis

   Author : Tomas Söderman; Adel Shalabi; Anders Sundin; Suzanne Werner; Marie-Louise Wretling; Seppo Koskinen; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Rheumatoid arthritis; Cervical spine; Radiography; Computed tomography; Magnetic resonance imaging; ACL reconstruction; Knee laxity; Long-term evaluation; Osteoarthritis; KOOS; SF-36; Tegners Activity Scale; IKDC; Quality of life; Radiology; Radiologi;

   Abstract : The dissertation's theme is the critical role of radiology when evaluating two different groups of patients. Firstly, patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) of the cervical spine were studied to evaluate upper spine instability with dynamic computed tomography (CT). READ MORE

5. 3. The Activity Diamond - Modeling an Enhanced Accessibility

   Author : Per-Olof Hedvall; Bodil Jönsson; Victor Kaptelinin; Certec - Rehabiliteringsteknik och Design; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Activity Diamond; Cultural-historical Activity Theory; Disability; Epiaccessibility; Accessibility; Lived Accessibility; Design; ICF; Social model; Activity Diamond; Cultural-historical Activity Theory; Disability; Epiaccessibility; Accessibility; Lived Accessibility; Design; ICF; Social model;

   Abstract : The purpose of the research presented in this thesis is to enhance the field of accessibility to include a multitude of perspectives. Based on cultural-historical activity theory (CHAT), it analyzes how human, artifactual and natural factors impact an individual’s possibilities to act in concrete situations that are part of a systemic whole.

6. 4. Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction : patellar tendon, Gore-Tex, Kennedy LAD and tibia tunnel ingrowth

   Author : Olle Muren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Prospective studies; randomized controlled trials; anterior cruciate ligament; treatment outcome; osteoarthritis; knee; prostheses and implant; radiology; reconstructive surgical procedures.;

   Abstract : Anterior cruciate ligament injury can induce permanent functional impairment in the physically active individual. Different methods to repair or replace the tom ligament have been tried and investigated. This thesis investigates three principally different grafts used in ACL reconstruction; autogenous tendon, stent/augmentation and prosthetic. READ MORE

7. 5. Kinematics and laxity in the knee, before and after Anterior Cruciate Ligament reconstruction. Evaluation using dynamic and static radiostereometric analysis

   Author : Jonas Isberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : ACL; KT-1000; early reconstruction; early extension; kinematics; laxity; RSA;

   Abstract : Introduction: Whether full active and passive extension training, started immediately after an Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction, will increase the post-operative A-P laxity of the knee has been the subject of discussion. For many years, many protocols have included full extension with full weight bearing after an ACL reconstruction. READ MORE
