  2. 11. Chronic lateral instability of the ankle joint : natural course, pathophysiology and steroradiographic evaluation of conservative and surgical treatment

    Author : Richard Löfvenberg; Per Renström; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Ankle-Joint-Instability; Kinematics; Ligament; Osteoarthritis; Orthosis; Proprioception; Radiology; Reaction time; Stereo-Photogrammetry; Subtalar; Surgery;

    Abstract : Chronic lateral instability of the ankle (CLI), defined as frequent sprains and recurrent giving way, difficulty in walking and running on uneven surface, is often connected with pain and swollen ankles. It occurs in 10 to 20 percent after acute ankle injuries. READ MORE

  4. 12. Analysis of Adaptation in Human Postural Control

    Author : Per-Anders Fransson; Lund näs- och halssjukdomar Öron-; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Physical medicine; kinesitherapy; revalidation; rehabilitation; Rehabilitering medicinsk och social ; Adaptation; Postural control; Proprioception; Vestibular; Posturography; neuropsykologi; Neurologi; neurophysiology; neuropsychology; Neurology; hörsel- och talorganen; audiologi; Otorinolaryngologi; auditive system and speech; audiology; Otorhinolaryngology; Movement pattern; Sensorimotor integration; Muscle fatigue; Age; Cutaneous sensation; neurofysiologi;

    Abstract : The ability to obtain correct balance control information and adjust motor performance appropriately are essential elements in effective postural control. However, functional disorders may affect the reliability of receptor information and ability to carry out corrective motions needed to maintain balance. READ MORE

  5. 13. Sensorimotor characteristics in chronic neck pain : possible pathophysiological mechanisms and implications for rehabilitation

    Author : Peter Michaelson; Gwendolyn Jull; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : Outcome prediction; Pain intensity; Neck Pain; WAD; Motor control; Proprioception; Balance; Cervical stability; Jerk; Neck kinematics; kirurgi; Surgery;

    Abstract : Pain from the musculoskeletal system is very common in the modern society. Chronic musculoskeletal pain syndromes causes not only individual suffering but also dysfunctions of movements and postural control, as large costs for the society. READ MORE

  6. 14. Postural control and adaptation to threats to balance stability

    Author : Mitesh Patel; Lund näs- och halssjukdomar Öron-; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Postural control; Visual; Vestibular; Somatosensory; Proprioception; Posturography; Complaint surface; Ageing; Mechanoreceptive sensation; Sleep deprivation; Adaptation; Muscle activity;

    Abstract : Postural control is the ability to maintain equilibrium and orientation in a gravitational environment. It is dependent on feedback and feedforward mechanisms that generate appropriate corrective movement based on body-sway motion detected primarily by visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive sensory systems.

  7. 15. Visual and proprioceptive control of arm movements : studies of development and dysfunction

    Author : Birgit Rösblad; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Vision; proprioception; reaching; pointing; arm movements; child; motor impairments; sensorimotor development;

    Abstract : The aim of this dissertation was to examine the role of sensory information for control of goal-directed arm movements in children. The role of visual and proprioceptive information on the target for end point accuracy was examined in normal 4- to 12-year- old children (Study I), and in children with motor impairments (Study II).
