  2. 1. Early identification of motor problems in very preterm infants : An evaluation of the Structured Observation of Motor Performance in Infants

    Author : Cecilia Montgomery; Lena Hellström-Westas; Kristina Persson; Katarina Strand Brodd; Ann-Christin Eliasson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : motor performance; very preterm infants; movement quality; motor competence; radiology; Physiotherapy; Sjukgymnastik fysioterapi;

    Abstract : Infants born very preterm are at risk of adverse neurodevelopment. It is important to identify motor problems early to initiate interventions aiming at ameliorating outcomes. Evaluating motor development in high-risk infants is a complex task. There is a need for assessment methods for early identification of abnormal motor performance. READ MORE

  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

  6. 4. Motor control of the knee : kinematic and EMG studies of healthy individuals and people with patellofemoral pain

    Author : Ann-Katrin Stensdotter; Charlotte Häger-Ross; Gunnevi Sundelin; Gertjan Ettema; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Kinematics; Kinetic chain tasks; Knee; Motor Control; Muscle activity; Patellofemoral pain; Unpredictable perturbations; Physiotherapy; Sjukgymnastik fysioterapi;

    Abstract : Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is believed to be associated with deficits in coordination between the different heads of the quadriceps muscle; however, considerable debate exists in the literature regarding the presence of such a deficit. Discrepancies between studies may be explained by differences in experimental tasks, such as whether the task is performed with open (OKC) or closed kinetic chain (CKC), or whether the activity is voluntary or triggered.

  7. 5. Congenital and Childhood Myotonic Dystrophy type 1 - the impact on central nervous system, visual and motor function

    Author : Anne-Berit Ekström; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : myotonic dystrophy type 1; children; muscle strength; motor function; autism spectrum conditions; learning disability; adaptive skills; visual impairment; hyperopia;

    Abstract : Background and aims: Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is an autosomal dominant multisystemic disorder, caused by an expanded CTG repeat on chromosome 19. The disorder can present both in children and adults. READ MORE
