  1. 11. Measurements of biomechanical workload onthe forearm during padel : a pilot study

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Avdelningen för idrottsmedicin

    Author : Rebecka Forsström; [2022]
    Keywords : electromyography; angular velocity; co-contraction; sport biomechanics; wearable technology;

    Abstract : Padel involves repetitive and high-velocity upper limb movements, which can be associated with overuse injuries. There is a lack of evidence regarding injury prevention in padel and a necessity of developing and evaluating ways to monitor workload. READ MORE

  3. 12. Orthotic interventions for lower limb impaired patients with multiple sclerosis: an Umbrella Review

    University essay from Jönköping University/HHJ. Ortopedteknisk plattform

    Keywords : Multiple sclerosis; Lower limb; Orthotics; Umbrella Review; Biomechanics; Multiple skleros; Lägre extremitet; Ortoser; Umbrella Review; Biomekanik;

    Abstract : Background: Multiple sclerosis is a chronic inflammatory auto-immune disease with various symptoms, which requires comprehensive multidisciplinary treatment for distinct and individualized conditions. Reviews on this population address treatment alternatives (i.e., pharmaceutical and rehabilitation). READ MORE

  4. 13. Image analysis on the structure of the Achilles tendon

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Linnea Andersson; [2022]
    Keywords : biomechanics; Achilles tendon; image analysis; image processing; tendons; synchrotron; computed tomography; phase contrast; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The Achilles tendon is the largest tendon of the human body which makes injuries of it very painful and incapacitating. A common factor of the pain are heterotopic ossifications, which are mineral deposits occurring inside the normal tendon tissue. Why and how heterotopic ossifications occur are somewhat unknown.

  5. 14. Assessment of hip deformities during childhood: a combined approach of Machine Learning and Finite Element Analysis

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Klara Eriksson; Jonna Fahrman; [2022]
    Keywords : Biomechanics; Hip joint; Cartilage; Osteoarthritis; Machine learning; Finite element analysis; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease that will cause pain and stiffness in the joint if not treated. One cause of early osteoarthritis in the hip joint is pediatric hip deformities. Hip deformities can occur in different stages of childhood and cause the bones to be misshapen or the hip joint to be dislocated. READ MORE

  6. 15. Subject-specific image analysis and computational modelling of the human Achilles tendon

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Johanna Panzar; Erika Thörn; [2021]
    Keywords : image analysis; Achilles tendon; FE model; biomechanics; CT image; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Achilles tendon rupture is becoming more prevalent with an increasing population of middle aged people participating in recreational sports. A torn Achilles tendon will likely not regain its original function, and it is unknown what treatment options are optimal. READ MORE
