  2. 11. Biomechanical and neural aspects of eccentric and concentric muscle performance in stroke subjects : Implications for resistance training

    Author : Mattias Hedlund; Britta Lindström; Peter Sojka; Ronnie Lundström; Carl-Johan Olsson; Jan Lexell; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; fMRI; Isokinetic; Motor imagery; Muscular strength; Resistance training; Neurological rehabilitation;

    Abstract : Muscle weakness is one of the major causes of post-stroke disability. Stroke rehabilitation programs now often incorporate the same type of resistance training that is used for healthy subjects; however, the training effects induced from these training strategies are often limited for stroke patients.

  4. 12. Autosomal Dominant Leukodystrophy with Autonomic Symptoms and Rippling Muscle Disease : Translational Studies of Two Neurogenetic Diseases

    Author : Jimmy Sundblom; Anja Smits; Raili Raininko; Niklas Dahl; Klas Kullander; Åsa Fex-Svenningsen; Marianne de Visser; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Inborn genetic diseases; Leukoencephalopathies; Lamin type B; Muscular disease; Caveolin 3; Neurology; Neurologi;

    Abstract : There is a large variety of diseases caused by single-gene mutations. Although most of these conditions are rare, together they impose a significant burden to the population. READ MORE

  5. 13. Spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy : new insights into the disease mechanism and prospects for pharmacological therapy

    Author : Laura C Bott; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Expansion of a polyglutamine-encoding trinucleotide CAG repeat in the androgen receptor (AR) gene causes spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA, or Kennedy’s disease). SBMA is an adult-onset disease characterized by progressive muscle weakness and atrophy due to the degeneration of lower motor neurons in the brainstem and spinal cord. READ MORE

  6. 14. Welander distal myopathy : clinical and genetic studies

    Author : Gabrielle Åhlberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Welander distal myopathy; neurogenic component; rimmed vacuoles; linkage; chromosome 2p13; candidate genes; common founder; homozygous form; variable clinical expression;

    Abstract : Distal myopathies are a group of muscular disorders described in many countries with different inheritance patterns and variable progression rates. Welander distal myopathy (WDM) is characterised by autosomal dominant inheritance, late onset and distal distribution of muscular weakness. Most cases originate from the middle parts of Sweden.

  7. 15. Vitamin D, muscle strength, prolonged labour, Caesarean sections and lifestyle : Clinical and intervention studies in pregnant Somali and Swedish women and new mothers

    Author : Paul Kalliokoski; Monica Löfvander; Maria Bullarbo; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : : caesarean section; dystocia; immigrant; muscle strength; obstetric labour complications; osteomalacia; physical performance; Somalia; vitamin D; vitamin D deficiency; Family Medicine; Allmänmedicin;

    Abstract : Long-term severe vitamin D deficiency may cause osteomalacia with muscle weakness, pain, soft bones, cramps and eventually death. In a pilot study, I found many Somali women to be vitamin D deficient and very weak. READ MORE
