  2. 16. 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. 17. Finite Element Modeling of Contact Problems

    Author : Asim Rashid; Peter Hansbo; Niclas Strömberg; Anders Klarbring; Anders Eriksson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Contact is the principal way load is transferred to a body. The study of stresses and deformations arising due to contact interaction of solid bodies is thus of paramount importance in many engineering applications. In this work, problems involving contact interactions are investigated using finite element modeling. READ MORE

  5. 18. Thrombolysis in vascular surgery

    Author : Linn Smith; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background and aims: Thrombolysis is in common use in the treatment of acute forms of vascular disease. It may be used both systemically and locally, in the latter case through an endovascular approach, socalled catheter-directed thrombolysis. READ MORE

  6. 19. Amputees' experience and descriptions of phantom phenomena : a qualitative study

    Author : Berit Björkman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In phantom phenomena, pain and/ or other sensations appear to be experienced from amputated body parts. The phenomena have long been the object of research and their underlying mechanisms have been discussed over the years. READ MORE

  7. 20. The electromyographic signal used for control of upper extremity prostheses and for quantification of motor blockade during epidural anaesthesia

    Author : Lennart Philipson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : A contribution of biomedical research engineering has been the development of detection and analysis methods for the electromyographic (EMG) signal and its application to health care problems. The present thesis describes the use of EMG signals for two such applications: Aid in the control of multifunctional upper limb prostheses and for quantification of motor blockade during epidural anaesthesia.
