1. 1. Load-velocity profiles as a predictor of performance level in swimming : What differentiates international elite swimmers from national elite – force capacity or efficiency?

   University essay from Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan, GIH/Institutionen för fysiologi, nutrition och biomekanik

   Author : Maria Vitazka; [2023]
   Keywords : Load-Velocity; Force-Velocity; Force Capacity; Swimming; Biomechanics; Performance indicators; International elite; swimming performance; 1080 Sprint; 1080 Motion; Semi-tethered force measurements; tethered force measurements; maximum velocity; load; force; swimming efficiency;

   Abstract : Aim  The purposes of this study were to investigate if the load-velocity (L-V) profile parameters – force capacity and efficiency - differ between swimmers of different performance level, and to investigate if efficiency is the key performance indicator between international elite and national elite level swimmers.  Method  Fifty-four swimmers (27 female and 27 male) of either regional level, national elite or international elite level, participated in this study.

3. 2. Phase Unwrapping MRI Flow Measurements

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Avdelningen Vi3

   Author : Mio Liljeblad; [2023]
   Keywords : phase unwrapping; computer vision; cine MRI; NMR; flow measurements; velocity encoding; venc; energy minimization; magnetic resonance; cardiac MRI; sinotubuar junction; pulmonary artery; ascending descending aorta; laplacian algorithm; iterative graph cuts; IGC; sequential tree-reweighted message passing; TRW-S; velocity to noise ratio; VNR; retrospective wrapping; energy formulation;

   Abstract : Magnetic resonance images (MRI) are acquired by sampling the current of induced electromotiveforce (EMF). EMF is induced due to flux of the net magnetic field from coherent nuclear spins with intrinsic magnetic dipole moments. READ MORE

4. 3. Pre-stroke communication style and post-stroke functional communication in people with severe aphasia : A quantitative observational study

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Logopedi

   Author : Robin Tiba; [2023]
   Keywords : aphasia; communication style; functional communication; cognitive function; afasi; kommunikationsstil; funktionell kommunikation; kognitiva funktioner;

   Abstract : Speech and language pathologists working with aphasia therapy regularly encounter close relatives of people with aphasia. A common observation is that close relatives discern a connection regarding how the person with aphasia manages communication difficulties, related to their communication style before suffering from stroke.

5. 4. Occupational therapists’ perceptions and experiences of interventions involving digital technology with post-stroke patients in early supported discharge settings : A qualitative study

   University essay from Jönköping University/HHJ, Avd. för rehabilitering

   Author : Laila de Vries; [2022]
   Keywords : clinical reasoning; digitalization; occupational therapy; stroke rehabilitation; clinical competence; client-centred approach; occupation;

   Abstract : Introduction: Early supported discharge intervention offers strokerehabilitation in the home environment. Digitalisation in society may make it demanding to perform everyday activities in traditional ways. READ MORE

6. 5. Improving Driving Ability After Stroke : A scoping review of interventions within occupational therapy

   University essay from

   Author : Karoline Backe; [2022]
   Keywords : cognitive training; driving ability; simulator-based training; occupational therapy; task-specific training.;

   Abstract : Stroke is a leading cause of disability in the world and cognitive impairments post stroke are common. Driving is an occupation of great importance to many individuals and enables participation in society but due to cognition deficits after stroke it can be a difficult task to perform adequately.
