1. Exploring the genetic cause of myotonic dystrophy in horses
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and GeneticsAbstract : Myotonic Dystrophy (MD) is an inherited neuromuscular disorder that leads to a wide range of clinical signs including stiffness, abnormal muscle relaxation, and muscle atrophy or hypertrophy. Affected muscles develop a prolonged contracture in response to percussion of the muscle and show waxing and waning complex repetitive discharges in electromyography (EMG). READ MORE

2. Individual Musculoskeletal Characteristics of Runners and Advanced Footwear Technology
University essay from Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan, GIH/Institutionen för fysisk aktivitet och hälsaAbstract : Background: In recent years, sudden improvements in long-distance running performance have been suggested to be due to the latest technological innovations in running footwear. However, inter-individual differences appear to be large in the performance enhancing effect these shoes elicit where some runners experience a decline in performance while others improve substantially.

3. High density EMG based estimation of lower limb muscle characteristics using feature extraction
University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)Abstract : Electromyography (EMG) is a common tool in electrical muscle activity measurement and can be used in multiple areas of clinical and biomedical applications, mainly in identifying neuromuscular diseases, analyzing movement or in human machine interfaces. Traditionally a pair of electrodes were used to measure the signals, but in recent years the use of high density surface EMG (HD-sEMG) gained more popularity as it can sample myoelectric activities from multiple electrodes in an array on a single muscle and provide more information.

4. Muskuloskeletala och neuromuskulära yttringar vid hypotyreos hos hund
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical SciencesAbstract : De tyreoida hormonerna T3 och T4 spelar en stor roll i de flesta av kroppens vävnader. De ökar metabolismen i alla celler och är viktiga för gonadernas utveckling. På cellulär nivå aktiverar de tyreoida hormonerna transkriptionen av många gener. Sköldkörtelinsufficiens kan således få stora konsekvenser för många processer i kroppen. READ MORE
