1. Measurements of Function in Children with Cerebral Palsy
Abstract : Cerebral palsy (CP) is a term for a group of conditions associated with motor disabilities, that are very heterogeneous, i.e. symptoms, severity, associated impairments, functional outcome and needs. The overall purpose of this thesis was to study the prevalence and gross motor function and to evaluate and adapt measurements in children with CP. READ MORE

2. Insights into the effect of myocardial revascularisation on electrical and mechanical cardiac function
Abstract : Background: Acute coronary syndrome is known for its effect on cardiac function and can lead to impaired segmental and even global myocardial function. Evidence exists that myocardial revascularisation whether pharmacological, interventional or surgical results in improvement of systolic and diastolic left ventricular (LV) function, particularly that of the long axis which represents the sub-endocardial function, known as the most sensitive layer to ischaemia.

3. Sensorimotor function in chronic neck pain : objective assessments and a novel method for neck coordination exercise
Abstract : Chronic neck pain is a widespread problem that causes individual suffering as well as large costs for the society. The knowledge about the pathophysiology is poor and therefore specific diagnosis and causal treatment are rare. READ MORE

4. Objective and subjective masticatory function in older individuals
Abstract : Introduction: Oral health in the older population has improved, both in Sweden and in a global perspective. Oral health that has been associated to other, more general health perspectives such as nutrition and cognition, but also presents new challenges for the dental community. READ MORE

5. Virtual reality based kinematics for assessment of post-stroke upper limb function
Abstract : The main scope of this thesis was to develop a method for assessing the upper limb sensorimotor function following stroke using virtual reality-based technique. The studies reported in this thesis included 67 individuals extracted from the SALGOT (Stroke Arm Longitudinal Study at the University of Gothenburg) cohort and 43 healthy controls. READ MORE
