21. More than a foot : gait, gross motor skills, neurodevelopmental difficulties and health-related quality of life in children with idiopathic clubfoot
Abstract : Introduction: Idiopathic clubfoot (IC) is one of the most common congenital musculoskeletal deformities and can affect one or both feet of the child. However, knowledge beyond the structural deformity is still limited. This thesis aimed to evaluate unexplored fields by including measures that might affect the children’s overall health. READ MORE

22. Wearable systems and sensors for the assessment of motor control : Development and validation of methods for clinical assessment of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus
Abstract : Human gait and balance are controlled by automatic processes in the central nervous system, and in sensory and proprioceptive systems. If a disturbance occurs in any of these complex structures, it may lead to balance and gait problems. READ MORE

23. From movement to skill : neural and behavioral mechanisms of motor sequence learning
Abstract : How do we learn new movements? The simple answer to this question is Through practice! Yet, a better response might be What aspect of motor learning are we talking about? Our capacity for learning new skills and for combining movements into new sequences is virtually unlimited. In contrast, our understanding of the mechanisms behind motor skill learning is still rather sparse. READ MORE

24. Role of the dopamine system in motor skill learning : implications for neurodevelopmental disorders
Abstract : Dopamine (DA), released by midbrain neurons, is critical for motor performance, motor skill learning, and corticostriatal synaptic plasticity. Dysregulation of DAergic signaling in corticostriatal circuitry has also been implicated in several highly heritable neurodevelopmental disorders, such as attention/deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), which are often associated with deficits in fine motor skills.

25. Performance and trainability in paraplegics : motor function, shoulder muscle strength and sitting balance before and after kayak ergometer training
Abstract : Background: Spinal cord injury (SCI) results in a complete or partial loss of motor and/or sensory function below the injury level. An SCI causes extensive functional impairment compelling many persons to wheelchair usage. READ MORE
