  1. 1. The association between obesity, low-grade inflammation, self-reported knee symptoms and radiographic knee osteoarthritis in individuals with knee pain : A longitudinal cohort study

    University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhet

    Author : Alma Buer; [2024]
    Keywords : osteoarthritis knee pain; artros knä smärta;

    Abstract : Abstract  Background One of the earliest signs of knee osteoarthritis (OA) is knee pain which correlates with inflammation and disease severity. Knee OA affects 260 million worldwide, and is in similarity with obesity, characterized by ongoing low-grade inflammation. READ MORE

  3. 2. Does attentional focus influence performance and motor control on a gross motor task performed with the legs among healthy individuals and individuals with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction? : A within subject design pilot study

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för samhällsmedicin och rehabilitering

    Author : Leon Haegerström; Jens Jakobsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Attentional focus; External focus; Internal focus; Motor contor; Motor performance; Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction;

    Abstract : Background: Evidence indicates that an external focus (EF) of attention on the intended effect of one’s movement results in better motor performance and motor control than an internal focus (IF) on one’s own body. Despite this, an IF is predominantly encouraged through instructions and feedback provided by clinicians during sports and rehabilitation from injuries such as anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury.

  4. 3. Feasibility of Mobile Phone-Based 2D Human Pose Estimation for Golf : An analysis of the golf swing focusing on selected joint angles

    University essay from KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystem

    Author : Elisa Perini; [2023]
    Keywords : Golf; Human Pose Estimation; Sports Analytics; Computer Vision; Golf; Mänsklig Poseuppskattning; Sportanalys; Datorseende;

    Abstract : Golf is a sport where the correct technical execution is important for performance and injury prevention. The existing feedback systems are often cumbersome and not readily available to recreational players. To address this issue, this thesis explores the potential of using 2D Human Pose Estimation as a mobile phone-based swing analysis tool. READ MORE

  5. 4. Imaging of the MTP joint: Developing an imaging protocol optimised for damage detection and 3D modelling

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Johanna Jacobsson; [2022]
    Keywords : computed tomography; magnetic resonance imaging; cone beam computedtomography; cartilage; osteochondral lesions; metatarsal phalangeal joint; datortomografi; magnetisk resonanstomografi; kon-datortomografi; brosk; kondrala skador; metatarsalphalangen-leden;

    Abstract : Walking without pain in the toe has a significant impact on a person’s well-being. Human mobility will be impaired in osteoarthritis of the big toe, and pain will occur during walking. By replacing the cartilage or bone injury with an individualised implant, osteochondral injuries to the knee and ankle can be treated. READ MORE

  6. 5. EVALUATION OF THE USE OF EXOSKELETONS WHILE PERFORMING DIFFERENT TASKS OF INDUSTRIAL WORKERS

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Avdelningen för elektroteknik, matematik och naturvetenskap

    Author : Abida Sultana Urmi; [2022]
    Keywords : Exoskeleton; Sensor; EMG; Efficiency; Statistic;

    Abstract : Robotic exoskeleton technologies are one of the most active fields of robotics in recent years. Exoskeleton systems can give essential support for limb motions with enhanced strength and endurance, and they have a wide variety of therapeutic and supportive utility in life. READ MORE
