  2. 1. Sensorimotor function in chronic neck pain : objective assessments and a novel method for neck coordination exercise

    Author : Ulrik Röijezon; Mats Djupsjöbacka; Martin Björklund; Charlotte Häger-Ross; Dario Liebermann; Mikael Karlberg; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neck pain; Whiplash; Sensorimotor; Motor Control; Motor Learning; Neck Coordination Exercise; Postural Control; Cervical kinematics; Reliability.; Community medicine; Samhällsmedicin; rehabiliteringsmedicin; Rehabilitation Medicine;

    Abstract : Chronic neck pain is a widespread problem that causes individual suffering as well as large costs for the society. The knowledge about the pathophysiology is poor and therefore specific diagnosis and causal treatment are rare. READ MORE

  4. 2. A Possible World: Autism from Practice to Theory

    Author : Petra Zücker Björne; Kognitionsvetenskap; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Psychopedagogy; Utvecklingspsykologi; Development psychology; Psykologi; Psychology; pedagogical intervention; categorization; context; sensorimotor disturbances; autism; developmental theory; Pedagogisk psykologi;

    Abstract : Persons with autism develop along trajectories that differ from the typical. Therefore, development itself gives important clues for understanding the behavioral profile characteristic of autism. Developing autism means being different, not necessarily being deficient. READ MORE

  5. 3. Sensorimotor characteristics in chronic neck pain : possible pathophysiological mechanisms and implications for rehabilitation

    Author : Peter Michaelson; Gwendolyn Jull; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : Outcome prediction; Pain intensity; Neck Pain; WAD; Motor control; Proprioception; Balance; Cervical stability; Jerk; Neck kinematics; kirurgi; Surgery;

    Abstract : Pain from the musculoskeletal system is very common in the modern society. Chronic musculoskeletal pain syndromes causes not only individual suffering but also dysfunctions of movements and postural control, as large costs for the society. READ MORE

  6. 4. Analysis of Adaptation in Human Postural Control

    Author : Per-Anders Fransson; Lund näs- och halssjukdomar Öron-; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Physical medicine; kinesitherapy; revalidation; rehabilitation; Rehabilitering medicinsk och social ; Adaptation; Postural control; Proprioception; Vestibular; Posturography; neuropsykologi; Neurologi; neurophysiology; neuropsychology; Neurology; hörsel- och talorganen; audiologi; Otorinolaryngologi; auditive system and speech; audiology; Otorhinolaryngology; Movement pattern; Sensorimotor integration; Muscle fatigue; Age; Cutaneous sensation; neurofysiologi;

    Abstract : The ability to obtain correct balance control information and adjust motor performance appropriately are essential elements in effective postural control. However, functional disorders may affect the reliability of receptor information and ability to carry out corrective motions needed to maintain balance. READ MORE

  7. 5. On age related changes in axons and glia of the central nervous system

    Author : Susanna Kullberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Aging; synaptic input; spinal cord; hippocampus; amino acid neurotransmitters; astrocyte; microglia; oligodendroglia; C bouton; cholinergic; monoaminergic; cytokine;

    Abstract : A growing body of evidence shows that phenotypic changes including axon aberrations, rather than loss of neurons, account for behavioral impairments during aging. The present thesis was undertaken to investigate the occurrence of axon aberrations in relation to transmitter identity, glial reaction and sensorimotor disturbances. READ MORE
