2. 6. Perception and control of upper limb movement: Insights gained by analysis of sensory and motor variability

   Author : Dmitry Domkin; Mats Djupsjöbacka; John Jeka; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicine; proprioception; kinaesthesia; position sense; movement sense; position-matching; velocity-discrimination; correlation; uncontrolled manifold; variability; synergy; upper limb; motor control; Medicin; Dermatology and venerology; clinical genetics; internal medicine; Dermatologi och venerologi; klinisk genetik; invärtesmedicin; Medicine; medicin;

   Abstract : Chronic neck-shoulder pain is associated with impairments of proprioception and motor control. Thus, assessment of proprioceptive and motor function may be powerful tools both for research and clinical practice. READ MORE

4. 7. Postural Control in Single-limb Stance. In Individuals with Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury and Uninjured Controls

   Author : Eva Ageberg; Människan i rörelse: hälsa och rehabilitering; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; revalidation; kinesitherapy; Physical medicine; reproducibility of results; proprioception; rehabilitation; stabilometry; Knee joint; postural control; anterior cruciate ligament; Rehabilitering medicinsk och social ;

   Abstract : The overall aims of this work were to evaluate a method of assessing postural control, measured by balance in single-limb stance on a force platform, and to study balance in single-limb stance in individuals with non-operated anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in comparison with that of uninjured controls. Ninety-nine patients (99) with ACL injury and 141 uninjured subjects were included in the studies. READ MORE

5. 8. Cervical influence on dizziness and orientation

   Author : Eva-Maj Malmström; Människan i rörelse: hälsa och rehabilitering; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neck pain; Muscle fatigue; Vestibular diseases; Cervical range of motion; Cervical spine; 3-D movement analysis; Dizziness; Proprioception; Primary and coupled movements; Physiotherapy;

   Abstract : The overall aim of the work was to examine the influence of cervical biomechanical conditions on movement performance, to study musculoskeletal findings accompanying possible cervicogenic dizziness and to evaluate the influence of cervical proprioception on head orientation. Two devices, measuring cervical range of motion, were compared: Myrin, an inclinometer/compass method and Zebris®, a 3-dimensional ultrasound movement analyser. READ MORE

6. 9. Sense of Touch in Robots

   Author : Magnus Johnsson; Kognitionsvetenskap; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; touch perception; neural network; robot hand; brain model; cognitive model; robot model; tensor network; associative self-organizing map; SOM; proprioception;

   Abstract : This thesis discusses a number of robot touch perception systems. All these systems are self-organizing and model different aspects of human touch perception. The thesis starts out with introductions to the anatomy and the physiology of the human hand. READ MORE

7. 10. Position-matching and goal-directed reaching acuity of the upper limb in chronic neck pain : associations to self-rated characteristics

   Author : Jonas Sandlund; Mats Djupsjöbacka; Eugene Lyskov; Ronny Lorentzon; Alf Thorstensson; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Neck pain; whiplash injuries; shoulder; proprioception; kinesthesis; vision; psychophysiology; somatosensory disorders; psychomotor performance; self assessment; Sports research; Idrottsforskning;

   Abstract : Neck-shoulder pain is common in the general population and causes individual suffering as well as large costs for the society. Despite substantial efforts, there is still a shortage of methods for objective diagnosis and effective rehabilitation of such disorders. Thus, there is a great need to develop and evaluate new methods for these purposes. READ MORE
