Investigating Changes in Spasticity in Response to Botulinum Toxin A in Children with Cerebral Palsy: A Post Hoc Exploratory Study
(Master thesis, 2023)Introduction: A common treatment for lower leg spasticity amongst children with cerebral palsy (CP) is Botulinum Toxin A (BoNT-A) injections. While the effectivity of treatment is typically assessed clinically, kinematic ... -
Investigating if an arm lift procedure is capable of highlighting aging-related differences in microvascular function, using Near-infrared Spectroscopy
(Master thesis, 2022)Sarkopeni utgjør seriøse konsekvenser for de påvirkede individene. Nåværende metoder for diagnostisering av sarkopeni er tungvint og krever avansert utstyr og kyndig personell, og ingen metode for tidlig oppdagelse av ... -
Investigating individual differences in the acute physiological response during high-intensity interval training in well-trained athletes
(Master thesis, 2021)In previous studies comparing different interval protocols, large individual differences in time above 90% of maximal oxygen consumption (t > 90%V̇O2max) have been observed. Even though t > 90%V̇O2max is regarded as an ... -
Investigating Intra-Individual Networks of Response Inhibition and Interference Resolution using 7T MRI
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Response inhibition and interference resolution are often considered subcomponents of an overarching inhibition system that utilizes the so-called cortico-basal-ganglia loop. Up until now, most previous functional magnetic ... -
Investigating novel biomarkers of immune activation and modulation in the context of sedentary behaviour: a multicentre prospective ischemic stroke cohort study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background Sedentary behaviour is associated with disease, but the molecular mechanisms are not understood. Valid biomarkers with predictive and explanatory properties are required. Therefore, we have investigated traditional ... -
Investigating Possible Effects from a One-Year Coach-Education Program
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The main purpose of the current study was to examine possible effects from a coach education program over one year, in which each coach was supervised by a mentor who facilitated their learning based on coach-centered ... -
Investigating the Consistency and Convexity of Restricted Boltzmann Machine Learning
(Master thesis, 2013)In this thesis we asses the consistency and convexity of the parameter inference in Boltzmann machine learning algorithms based on gradient ascent on the likelihood surface. We do this by rst developing standard tools for ... -
Investigating the Effectiviness of Exercise in Improving Balance for Children with Down Syndrome: A Systematic Review
(Bachelor thesis, 2023)Bakgrunn: Barn med Downs syndrom viser en forsinkelse i utviklingen av postural kontroll og frivillige komponenter av motorisk kontroll, sammenlignet med jevnaldrende. Forsinkelsen gjelder startposisjoner mot tyngdekraften, ... -
Investigating the frequencies of different exploratory actions among world-class climbers: Data from world cup bouldering competitions
(Master thesis, 2023)Tidligere studier har undersøkt utforskende handlinger i klatring, men ingen har undersøkt frekvensen av utforskende handlinger i buldring. Målet med denne studien var å beskrive frekvensen av utforskende handlinger som ... -
Investigating the relationship between allocentric spatial working memory and biomarker status in preclinical and prodromal Alzheimer’s disease.
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The 4 Mountain Test (4MT) is a test of allocentric spatial working memory and has been proposed as an earlier marker of predementia Alzheimer’s disease (AD) than episodic verbal memory. We here compare the 4MT to the CERAD ... -
Investigating the spectral features of the brain meso-scale structure at rest
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Recent studies provide novel insights into the meso-scale organization of the brain, highlighting the co-occurrence of different structures: classic assortative (modular), disassortative, and core-periphery. However, the ... -
Investigation of an Exercise-Induced State of Hypofrontality: And its Potential Association with Central Fatigue
(Master thesis, 2012)The reticular-activating hypofrontality model of acute exercise (RAH) predicts exercise-induced hypoactivity in frontal cortex which mediates executive function. Connors Continuous Performance Test (CCPT) was used to ... -
Investigation of energy expenditure during walking in children with cerebral palsy and typically developing children using raw acceleration data
(Master thesis, 2016)Background: Children with cerebral palsy (CP) experience motor disabilities which can lead to difficulties when walking. This is apparent in lower walking speed and higher energy expenditure (EE) when walking compared to ... -
Investigation of individual strategies in the aerial phase in ski jumping
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The purpose of this investigation was to examine the performance strategy of three ski jumpers during the steady glide phase and explain how different strategical solutions can lead to jumps of roughly the same length. In ... -
Involvement and Multi-Sectoral Collaboration: Applying Principles of Health Promotion during the Implementation of Local Policies and Measures—A Case Study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Five principles for health promotion (HP) stand out in various forms, providing guidance for HP measures and policy implementation: (1) a broad and positive health concept, (2) participation and involvement of key stakeholders, ... -
Involvement in research and development projects among community-working occupational therapists in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)A cross-sectional descriptive survey was conducted (n = 561). Almost half of the participants took part in research and development projects. Being involved in research and development was associated with lower age, having ... -
