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

2. Morphological variants in neurodevelopmental disorders
Abstract : Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), including autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are diagnosed in a significant minority of children, adolescents, and adults worldwide. Physical examinations are recommended for children undergoing assessment of NDDs, including evaluation of the presence of morphological variants, which are altered physical features of the body such as low-set ears, curved finger digits, narrow lips, etc. READ MORE

3. Amblyopia and subnormal visual acuity. Studies of prevalence, assessment and outcome
Abstract : Aims. The aims of this thesis were threefold. Firstly, we wanted to establish the distribution of visual acuity (VA) and the prevalence of amblyopia and other ocular disorders in two population-based samples of 12-13-year-old children, one that had been vision-screened at preschool age and the other that had not.

5. Biomechanical assessment of head and neck movements in neck pain using 3D movement analysis
Abstract : Three-dimensional movement analysis was used to evaluate head and neck movement in patients with neck pain and matched controls. The aims were to further develop biomechanical models of head and neck kinematics, to investigate differences between subjects with non-specific neck pain and whiplash associated disorders (WAD), and to evaluate the potential of objective movement analysis as a decision support during diagnosis and follow-up of patients with neck pain.
