  2. 1. Long-term effects of stroke seen in young individuals living in the community

    Author : Susanne Palmcrantz; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Suffering a stroke in the midst of life may lead to half a life-time to be lived with disability. Thus, to meet the needs of long-term measures by health care among young individuals of working age, it is essential that the occurrence of long- term effects of stroke is thoroughly explored and mapped.

  4. 2. “Taking the next step” : whole-body biomechanical gait analysis, and user-perspectives on robotic-assisted gait training post-stroke

    Author : Heidi Nedergård; Charlotte Häger; Marlene Sandlund; Susanne Palmcrantz; Erika Franzén; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; stroke; robotic-assisted; electro-mechanical; gait training; gait analysis; user-perspectives; kinematics; physiotherapy; fysioterapi;

    Abstract : Background: Stroke, and its subsequent motor function impairments may result in limited gait ability characterised by compensatory movement patterns that include deviations and asymmetries. How these movement patterns should be evaluated and quantified in order to be monitored and treated in the long term is not yet standardised. READ MORE

  5. 3. Design and Control Parameter Optimization of Soft Ankle Exoskeleton for People with Dropfoot and Excessive Inversion
