  2. 1. Gait and postural control after total knee arthroplasty

    Author : Joakim Bjerke; Ann-Katrin Stensdotter; Eva Weidenhielm Broström; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; sjukgymnastik; Physiotherapy;

    Abstract : The aim of the thesis was to investigate deficits and compensatory strategies after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in different conditions during gait and quiet standing. Although TKA is considered the gold standard treatment for end-stage knee osteoarthritis, it is associated with a number of implications. READ MORE

  4. 2. Muscle mass and function after total hip arthroplasty

    Author : Anton Rasch; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Osteoarthrosis; arthritis; joint disease; hip muscle strength; hip muscle function; outcome; elderly; attenuation; fatty infiltration; gait analysis; balance;

    Abstract : Osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip is a common disease among elderly causing pain, joint stiffness and reduced mobility. Outcome studies have shown total hip arthroplasy (THA) to be a successful surgical procedure. Studies of muscle strength and function after THA are more scarce and results vary. READ MORE

  5. 3. Gait and motion analysis of hip arthroplasty. Validity, reliability and longterm results

    Author : Roland Zügner; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Gait analysis; Hip arthroplasty; Kinematics; Radiostereometric analysis; Hip osteoarthritis;

    Abstract : Introduction: Walking is one of the most fundamental activities of daily living in humans, when the hip joints transfer power between the lower extremities and the pelvis. Hip osteoarthritis (OA) will more or less influence this function and is increasing in an ageing population. READ MORE

  6. 4. Analysis of body motions based on optical markers. Accuracy, error analysis and clinical applications

    Author : Roy Tranberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Instrumented gait analysis Motion analysis Skin markers Optical tracking system;

    Abstract : This thesis aims to evaluate the influence of soft-tissue artefacts on analyses of body motions based on optical markers. A second aim is to apply instrumented gait analysis in clinical situations. Introduction: Instrumented gait analysis has been used since 1960 as a clinical evaluation/investigative tool at orthopaedic clinics. READ MORE
