2. 11. Biomechanics of back extension torque production about the lumbar spine

   Author : Karl Daggfeldt; Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Medicin Teknik;

   Abstract : The aim of this thesis has been to develop a realistic mechanical description of lumbar back extension torque production. Such a description is desirable for understanding how back extension torque is generated as well as how the spine and surrounding structures are loaded during back extension tasks. READ MORE

4. 12. Implementation of Modern Incisional Hernia Repair Techniques

   Author : Peder Rogmark; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Hernia Mesh Repair; Incisional Hernia; Randomised Controlled Trial; Mesh Contraction; Long-term Outcome; Open vs Laparoscopic Surgery; Incisional Hernia; Hernia Mesh Repair; Randomised Controlled Trial; Mesh Contraction; Long-term Outcome; Laparoscopic vs Open Surgery;

   Abstract : Incisional hernia is one of the most common complications (5–20%) after abdominal surgery. Surgery is the only option to cure a hernia. Symptoms of an incisional hernia depend on the size of the abdominal wall defect and the protruding tissue. About 30% of the patients with an incisional hernia will have an operation performed.

5. 13. Laparoscopy and tumour growth : a clinical and experimental study

   Author : Owe Lundberg; Anders Kristoffersson; Dag Arvidsson; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; laparoscopy; tumour growth; metastases; gallbladder cancer; pneumoperitoneum; blood flow; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi; kirurgi; Surgery;

   Abstract : Background and aims: Laparoscopic technique was quickly adopted in general surgery because of less pain, quicker recovery and shorter hospital stay. In the 1990´s several reports on port site metastases restrained the enthusiasm to use laparoscopic surgery in malignant diseases. READ MORE

6. 14. Asymmetric lateral loading of the human trunk

   Author : Qiang-Min Huang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Eccentric; concentric; isokinetic; electromyography; co-activation; trunk; spinal biomechanics; contraction patterns; lateral bending; lifting and lowering; balance; kinematics; postural control; IAP; support translation.;

   Abstract : The overall aim of this thesis was to characterize the biomechanics and neuromuscular control of the human trunk in response to asymmetric lateral loading. The pulling force and strength capacities as well as muscle activation patterns, trunk kinematics and postural balance in relation to lateral trunk flexion and loading were given special consideration.

7. 15. The AfterBabyBodyStudy: Muscular changes, exercising, and activity limitations and their associations with pelvic girdle pain and urinary incontinence in the postpartum period

   Author : Sabine Vesting; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; physiotherapy; postpartum; urinary incontinence; pelvic girdle pain; pelvic floor disorders; primary health care; exercising;

   Abstract : Aim: Pregnancy and childbirth can lead to several symptoms, changes in the pelvic floor muscles and a diastasis recti abdominis (DRA). This thesis aimed to assess and explore stress urinary incontinence, vaginal heaviness, pelvic girdle pain and muscular changes in the postpartum period, in relation to each other, and in relation to exercising, activity limitations and women’s experiences.
