  2. 16. Heterogeneity in Car Occupant Safety

    Author : Alexandros Leledakis; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Real-world safety; Human Body Model; Occupant posture; Crash Configurations; Anthropometric variation; Finite element; Sensitivity analysis; Individualised Restraint Systems; Vehicle safety assessment; Seat adjustment;

    Abstract : This thesis ultimately aims to enhance occupant protection by incorporating aspects of real-world crash heterogeneity, often overlooked within current safety assessments. By investigating the effects of crash heterogeneity and broadening the comprehensiveness of occupant safety assessments, it seeks to support the development of more effective future vehicle safety systems.

  5. 18. The influence of alcohol on bone metabolism and fracture healing

    Author : Fredrik Nyquist; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Kirurgi; traumatology; orthopaedics; Surgery; fracture prediction.; fracture healing; bone mineral density; Alcohol; post-traumatic osteopenia; fracture; ortopedi; traumatologi; Skeleton; muscle system; rheumatology locomotion; Skelett; muskelsystem; reumatologi;

    Abstract : The influence of alcohol on bone metabolism, fracture and fracture healing was evaluated in men and male rats by measurements of bone mineral density (BMD), biochemical markers and biomechanical testings. Retrospectively, 199 male patients hospitalized for tibia shaft fractures were studied. Forty-nine were judged as problem drinkers. READ MORE

  6. 19. Comprehensive evaluation of spasticity and other sensorimotor dysfunctions after lesions to the central or peripheral nervous system

    Author : Gaia Valentina Pennati; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Understanding how sensorimotor impairments may contribute to changes in body structure and function, and also to activity and participation limitations is an important challenge in neurorehabilitation research, of high clinical relevance. Available assessment methods include mainly clinical scales, often with inadequate psychometric properties, such as the Modified Ashworth scale for assessment of spasticity. READ MORE

  7. 20. Movement pattern, power generation and well-being in children and young adults with spastic unilateral cerebral palsy

    Author : Jacques Riad; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Patients with unilateral cerebral palsy (CP) all walk, most of them without great difficulty and without assistive devices. However, their walk tends to catch the eye because of abnormal, often asymmetrical movement in the upper and lower extremities. READ MORE
