1. Kinematics and fixation of total knee arthroplasties : a clinical, radiographic, scintimetric, and roentgen stereophotogrammetric evaluation
Abstract : Aseptic loosening of the tibial component is an important cause of failure after total knee arthroplasty. Bone destruction often claimed to be caused by the cement makes the revision difficult. In order to treat younger patients, uncemented fixation has been introduced, but the etiology to loosening is multifactorial and only partly known. READ MORE

2. Knee joint kinematics, fixation and function related to joint area design in total knee arthroplasty
Abstract : The aim was to study the influence of different designs of the joint area on tibial component fixation, kinematics and clinical outcome after a cemented total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The HSS score and a special questionnaire were used at the clinical examination. READ MORE

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

4. Gait and postural control after total knee arthroplasty
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

5. Evaluation of function in individuals with knee osteoarthritis
Abstract : Introduction: Osteoarthritis, the most common joint disease, results in joint pain and limited function. In clinical practice, the array of measurements used to evaluate function are generally restricted to patient-reported outcome measures and performance-based tests, as they do not require special equipment.
