(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2021:123, Doctoral thesis, 2021)Stroke affects approximately 11,000 individuals in Norway annually, and it is considered one of the leading causes of disability among elderly persons. Due to an aging population, milder strokes, and decreased mortality ... -
Associations between body-height-normalized pole and ski lengths and performance among male and female elite cross-country skiers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Cross-country (XC) skiers employ whole-body exercise to generate speed through poles and skis. The choice of optimal pole and ski lengths are therefore of high importance. The aim of this study was to document pole and ski ... -
Physical performance across the cognitive spectrum and between dementia subtypes in a population-based sample of older adults: The HUNT study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background: Literature on physical performance in older adults across the cognitive spectrum remains inconclusive, and knowledge on differences between dementia subtypes is lacking. We aim to identify distinct physical-performance ... -
Pre-stroke cognitive impairment is associated with vascular imaging pathology: a prospective observational study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background Chronic brain pathology and pre-stroke cognitive impairment (PCI) is predictive of post-stroke dementia. The aim of the current study was to measure pre-stroke neurodegenerative and vascular disease burden ... -
Epilepsy patients with and without perceived benefit from vagus nerve stimulation: A long-term observational single center study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Purpose: Vagus nerve stimulaton (VNS) has been used for adjunctive treatment of drug-resistant epilepsy for more than 25 years. The true efficacy has been debated, as blinded randomized controlled trials are unavailable. ... -
Orthogeriatrics prevents functional decline in hip fracture patients: report from two randomized controlled trials
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background The incidence of hip fractures are expected to increase in the following years. Hip fracture patients have in addition to their fracture often complex medical problems, which constitute a substantial burden on ... -
Exploring life-space in the nursing home. An observational longitudinal study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background Traditional performance-based measurements of mobility fail to recognize the interaction between the individual and their environment. Life-space (LS) forms a central element in the broader context of mobility ... -
Predictors of students’ participation in a learning environment survey with annual follow-ups
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background Longitudinal research is one effective way to gauge changes in a student cohort over time, however attrition in these studies is typically high, which can result in study bias. This study explored learning ... -
Impact of meningioma surgery on use of antiepileptic, antidepressant, and sedative drugs: A Swedish nationwide matched cohort study
