2. 1. Epidemiological aspects of musculoskeletal pain in the upper body. Analyzing common and recurrent binary outcomes

   Author : Anna Grimby-Ekman; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; musculoskeletal; pain; neck; repeated measurements; logistic model; odds ratio OR ; risk ratio RR ; risk difference RD ; biological interaction;

   Abstract : The overall aim of this thesis is to gain epidemiological knowledge about musculoskeletal pain in the upper body in light physical work, in relation to gender, psychosocial factors, and computer use; and to compare different methods for analyzing common and recurrent binary outcomes. Two study groups were investigated using questionnaire data: (a) computer users in the Swedish workforce and (b) a cohort of university students. READ MORE

4. 2. Women on sick leave for long-term musculoskeletal pain : Factors associated with work ability, well-being and return to work

   Author : Mamunur Rashid; Annika Nilsson; Marja-Leena Kristofferzon; Marina Heiden; Katja Boersma; Högskolan i Gävle; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biopsychosocial model; musculoskeletal pain; postal survey; prognostic factors; return to work; sick leave; women of working age; work ability and well-being; inget Strategiskt forskningsområde SFO ; no Strategic Research Area SFO ;

   Abstract : Background: Taking sick leave (SL) for long-term musculoskeletal pain (MSP), predominantly in the neck, shoulders and back, is common among women in Sweden. Long-term MSP affects their daily life and causes impaired work ability and long-term SL. READ MORE

5. 3. Computational Biomechanics in Cross-country Skiing

   Author : Joakim L. Holmberg; Anders Klarbring; Ingrid Svensson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Computer simulation; Inverse dynamics; Musculoskeletal; Optimization; Simulation model; Sports; Computational Biomechanics; Cross‐country Skiing; Engineering mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

   Abstract : Traditionally, research on cross‐country skiing biomechanics is based mainly on experimental testing alone. Trying a different approach, this thesis explores the possibilities of using computational musculoskeletal biomechanics for cross‐country skiing. As far as the author knows, this has not been done before. READ MORE

6. 4. Modelling of muscular force induced by non-isometric contraction

   Author : Natalia Kosterina; Anders Eriksson; Michael Günther; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Skeletal muscle; Muscular force; Concentric contractions; Eccentric con- tractions; History effect; Force modification; Muscle model; Musculoskeletal model;

   Abstract : The main objective of the study was to investigate and simulate skeletal muscleforce production during and after isometric contractions, active muscle lengtheningand active muscle shortening. The motivation behind this work was to improve thedominant model of muscle force generation based on the theories of Hill from 1938. READ MORE

7. 5. Sickness Absence with Musculoskeletal Diagnoses : An Eleven-Year Follow-Up of Young Persons

   Author : Karin Borg; Kristina Alexanderson; John Carstensen; Per-Olof Östergren; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : sickness absence; sick leave; ill health; disability pension; musculoskeletal diagnoses; low back; neck; shoulder; clients’ perceptions of treatment; health-line; self-rated health; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Abstract : Background: In Sweden, as well as in most Western countries, sickness absence is a major public health problem that has increased in recent years. This is a complex phenomenon related not only to ill health factors, but also to other factors on the levels of the individual, the family, the workplace, and the society. READ MORE
