1. Wireless electromyogram system
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is one of the most common cardiovascular diseases. KTH and its academic and industrial partners intend to develop a system to combat VTE by forcing movements of inactive muscles. An important part of this system is a unit that can sense muscular activity over time. READ MORE

2. Individualized Contractile Ankle Joint Muscular Properties in Healthy and Post-Stroke Subjects
University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)Abstract : This study investigated the contractile properties of the plantar-and dorsi-flexor muscles controlling the ankle joint. The purpose of this study was to investigate how the muscle strength and muscle architecture change after stroke, and how the muscle strength and architecture are correlated. READ MORE

3. Lower limb muscle morphology, composition and force generation capacity in typically developing children
University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)Abstract : This study investigated the architecture and composition of eight lower limb musclesin typically developing children using diffusion tensor imaging and mDixontechniques, respectively. Moreover, the correlation between intramuscular fat fractionand force generation capacity was studied. READ MORE

4. A Method to Examine Passive and Active Force Production, and their Correlations with Muscle Morphological Parameters for Healthy Children
University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)Abstract : Muscle morphological and mechanical properties play a crucial role in explaining the mechanisms underlying the development and progression of muscle weakness, joint stiffness, muscle contraction, and the resultant loss of motor function in children. Information in the literature about how muscle architecture correlate with muscle force production in passive and active conditions in children is very limited. READ MORE

5. Determination of In-vivo Muscle Architecture : Comparison of Ultrasound and Diffusion Tensor Imaging and Analysis of Muscle Morphology in Post-stroke Patients
University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)Abstract : This study investigates the in-vivo architecture of muscles in the lower leg using 2D ultrasound (US) and 3D diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) techniques. The muscle architecture of the gastrocnemius, posterior soleus and tibialis anterior were compared using US and DTI imaging. READ MORE
