1. On the role of transversus abdominis in trunk motor control
Abstract : All trunk muscles are important contributors to spine stability. However, the deepest abdominal muscle, transversus abdominis (TrA), with its characteristically horizontal fibre orientation seems to serve a unique function in trunk motor control. READ MORE

2. Genetic studies of zebrafish muscles : clues to protection in muscle disease
Abstract : Muscular dystrophies (MDs) are caused by dysregulation of over 40 proteins but commonly share features of muscle weakness, myofiber death and regeneration, loss of ambulation and premature death. A MD involves a broken link anywhere in the connection from extracellular matrix through the sarcolemma to the sarcomere. READ MORE

3. EMG and strength in trunk and hip muscles
Abstract : The overall aim of this thesis was to study the myouelectric activity of all major muscles involved in the movements and stabilization of the trunk, pelvis and hips during training exercises, postures, motor tasks, maximal strength performance and locomotion. By use of ultra-sound, EMG electrodes could be guided safely and accurately into muscles situated even close to the spinal column, such as psoas, quadratus lumborum and deep parts of erector spinae.

4. Asymmetric lateral loading of the human trunk
Abstract : The overall aim of this thesis was to characterize the biomechanics and neuromuscular control of the human trunk in response to asymmetric lateral loading. The pulling force and strength capacities as well as muscle activation patterns, trunk kinematics and postural balance in relation to lateral trunk flexion and loading were given special consideration.

5. Hormones, muscles and oncological outcome in men with rectal cancer
Abstract : Paper I. The aim was to elucidate if testosterone (T) dose-dependently increase muscle size in abdomen and pelvis, analogous to the known anabolic influence on appendicular muscles. Participants were young (age 18-50) healthy men participating in the 5a-reductase trail, a double blinded RCT. READ MORE
