  1. 1. The effects and experiences of training the rectus abdominis muscle in women with diastasis rectus abdominis postpartum.

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för hälsa, lärande och teknik

    Author : Maja Strömberg; [2022]
    Keywords : inter-rectus distance; rectus abdominis; exercise; experiences;

    Abstract : Background: Diastasis rectus abdominis (DRA) is a separation of the rectus abdominis during and after pregnancy. Physiotherapy is the first choice of intervention but it is unclear which type of training is the most effective.  Purpose: The aim of the study was twofold. READ MORE

  3. 2. Dataset based on volunteer campaign to optimize novel sensor for muscle quality

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Fasta tillståndets elektronik

    Author : Sophia Holmqvist; [2022]
    Keywords : sarcopenia; microwaves; medical imaging;

    Abstract : This project had its primary focus on running a campaign to recruit healthy volunteers for a test study involving the utilization of a microwave sensor and ultrasound measurements. The key system used was the Muscle Analyzer System (MAS), which consisted of the Bandstop Filter Sensor (BFS), a microwave sensor transmitting microwaves into the selected medium through transmission and a FieldFox Vector Network Analyzer which was used to transmit these microwaves.

  4. 3. TMS stimulus-response asymmetry in lower limbs : Difference in stimulated muscles between dominant and non-dominant leg

    University essay from Malmö universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa och samhälle (HS)

    Author : Adna Pivac; [2022]
    Keywords : lower limbs; motor evoked potential; motor cortex; stimulus-response asymmetry; transcranial magnetic stimulation;

    Abstract : Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a 37-year-old non-invasive tool and can be used for diagnostic, therapeutics, and research purposes. In research, TMS is mostly used to stimulate the motor cortex, resulting in a neuroelectric excitatory response called a motor evoked potential (MEP). READ MORE

  5. 4. Associations between dolphin kick performance and lower extremity muscle strength, abdominal muscle strength and foot length in active competitive swimmers

    University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för ekonomi, teknik och naturvetenskap

    Author : Jakob Sundén; [2020]
    Keywords : Dolphin kick; strength; swimming;

    Abstract : Background: Maximal muscle strength and body proportions are some of the key attributes to be a fast swimmer. Even though dolphin kick (DK) has become essential to be a fast swimmer little is known of its associations to muscle strength and body proportions. READ MORE

  6. 5. Lower Limb Muscle Synergy During Daily Life Activities : A Way to Convey Intended Motions To a Robotic Assistive Device.

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Teresa Colangelo; [2018]
    Keywords : muscle synergy; lower limb; knee; exoskeleton; EMG;

    Abstract : Powered exoskeletons can assist patients suffering from motor dysfunctions. Recent researches are focused on how to improve the communication system between patient and device. Further research is needed in order to design an EMG based robotic assistive device able to convey intended motions to the patient. READ MORE
