1. Dynamic ultrasound investigation of clubfeet, 0 - 4 years of age, with normal controls
Abstract : Clubfoot is one of the most common congenital deformities, 1-6/1,000 births in Europe and up to 5-6/1,000 in Polynesia. The Ponseti method is now widely regarded as the method of choice for treatment. The treatment starts soon after birth using manipulations and castings until the deformities are corrected, usually 6-10 weeks. READ MORE

2. Biomechanical consequences of gait impairment at the ankle and foot : Injury, malalignment, and co-contraction
Abstract : The human foot contributes significantly to the function of the whole lower extremity during standing and locomotion. Nevertheless, the foot and ankle often suffer injuries and are affected by many musculoskeletal and neurological pathologies. READ MORE

3. Biomechanical Consequences of Foot and Ankle Injury and Deformity: Kinematics and Muscle Function
Abstract : The overall aim of this thesis was to discuss kinematics and muscle function changes due to foot and ankle injury or deformity. The first study aims to characterize gait patterns of subjects with a common lower limb injury, ankle fractures. READ MORE

4. Kissing knees - factors behind the attraction. Knee abduction in individuals with anterior cruciate ligament injury
Abstract : Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and patellofemoral pain (PFP) are common sports-related knee injuries. Their consequences include compromised health of the effected individual and substantial financial costs for society. READ MORE

5. Subject-specific musculoskeletal modeling of the lower extremities in persons with unilateral cerebral palsy
Abstract : The computational musculoskeletal models that are used to study muscle moment-generating capacities of persons with movement disorders and planning treatment options must be accurate, and take into account the inter-individual variability of musculoskeletal geometry. In Paper I the methods of creating the subject-specific musculoskeletal model of the lower extremities from magnetic resonance images (MRIs) were developed. READ MORE
