  2. 1. Acute and early chronic responses to resistance exercise using flywheel or weights

    Author : Lena Norrbrand; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Weight training typically offers constant external load during coupled shortening (concentric) and lengthening (eccentric) muscle actions in sets of consecutive repetitions until failure. However, skeletal muscle inherently has the capability to produce greater force in the eccentric compared with the concentric action, which allows for greater loading during the eccentric action, i.

    Abstract : Resistance exercise using weights typically offers constant external load during coupled shortening (concentric) and lengthening (eccentric) muscle actions in sets of consecutive repetitions until failure. However, the constant external load and the inherent capability of skeletal muscle to produce greater force in the eccentric compared with the concentric action, would infer that most actions are executed with incomplete motor unit involvement.

  5. 3. Advanced technology in the evaluation of chronic neck impairment

    Author : Martin Ålund; Gunnar Németh; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : An electrogoniometrical method was modified for clinical motion analysis of the head and neck. Simultaneous measurements of neck motion range and motion pattern in the three planes could be obtained, and a graphical illustration of the movements was possible. The equipment showed high reliability and validity. READ MORE

    Author : Sepideh Levander; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a major causative agent for severe liver disease and cancer worldwide. Globally, it is estimated that approximately 185 million people are infected with HCV and 130-170 million of these are chronic carriers of the virus (1, 2). READ MORE

  7. 5. Cross-cultural differences in patients with temporomandibular disorders-pain : a multi-center study

    Author : Mohammad H. Al-Harthy; Malmö högskola; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TMD-smärta; Sverige; Saudiarabien; Italien; Kvinnliga patienter; Behandling;

    Abstract : The overall objective of this thesis was to investigate patients with TMD-pain and TMD-free controls in three cultures (Saudi Arabia, Sweden, and Italy) to determine the influence of culture on and crosscultural differences in pain prevalence and intensity, sensitivity to mechanical and electrical stimulation, pain-related disability for four comorbid pain conditions (back, head, chest, and stomach pain) in the last 6 months, and the type of treatment that patients with TMD pain received. The specific aims were: (i) To determine the frequency of TMD pain in Saudi Arabians (I). READ MORE
