Biometric Characterization of the Stretch Response in Children with Cerebral Palsy and its Relation with the Tardieu Scale
(Master thesis, 2011)Objective: The main purpose of this study was to determine to what extent resistance to passive stretch, obtained as in the Tardieu test (TS), can evaluate spasticity in the elbow flexors of children with cerebral palsy ... -
BMI, physical activity and the risk of periodontitis - The Trøndelag Health Study
(Master thesis, 2022)Abstract Background: Being physically active and maintaining normal weight contribute to better general health, but there is a paucity of knowledge on their impact on oral diseases mainly periodontitis. Therefore, this ... -
Body composition in relation to self-reported and device-measured physical activity in the HUNT4 survey
(Master thesis, 2023)Background Body composition measures are important because it is known to be associated with the development of several chronic diseases. Describing the distribution of objectively measured body composition in the general ... -
Brain Activity in Biathlon : A Comparison between Experts and Novices and Acute Effects of Exercise
(Master thesis, 2015)Background: The theta activity from frontal electrodes in electroencephalography (EEG) is discussed to originate from the anterior cingulate cortex, an important brain area for executive functions and the processing of ... -
Brain development after postnatal growth restriction and intermittent hyperoxia hypoxia in the neonatal rat : a longitudinal MRI study
(Master thesis, 2016)Children born prematurely are commonly exposed to perinatal events such as infections, apneutic attacks and poor lung performance. These conditions put the children at risk of a reduced oxygen uptake and tissue hypoxia. ... -
Can occupational physical activity among workers in home care become more evenly distributed by alternations between means of transport? A feasibility study based on the Goldilocks Work Principle
(Master thesis, 2022)Sammendrag Introduksjon Ansatte i hjemmetjenesten er utsatt for stor arbeidsbelastning hvilket øker risikoen for langtids sykemelding. En nylig gjennomført studie viser at det er store forskjeller blant ansatte med tanke ... -
Can peer-support improve adherence to exercise training and lead to improved cardiorespiratory fitness in secondary prevention after myocardial infarction?
(Master thesis, 2023)Bakgrunn: Fysisk trening er en nøkkelfaktor i behandling av hjerteinfarkt, men pasienter mislykkes i å opprettholde en treningsatferd i det dagligdagse. Sosial støtte fra medpasienter har beviselig potensialet til å motivere ... -
Cardiorespiratory reference data in Norwegian post myocardial infarction patients: A Cross-sectional study
(Master thesis, 2021)Sammendrag Hensikt: Å lage et referansemateriale av direkte målt peak oksygenopptak (VO2peak) og kardiovaskulære data på norske pasienter som har gjennomgått et hjerteinfarkt (MI). Metode: Maksimale og submaksimale ... -
Cardiorespiratory Reference Data in Norwegian Post-Myocardial Infarction Patients
(Master thesis, 2021)Hensikt: Etablere objektivt målte referanseverdier med tilhørende prediksjonsmodeller for kardiorespiratoriske variabler blant norske ikke-institusjonaliserte menn og kvinner (18-79 år), som gjennomgikk hjerteinfarkt i ... -
CAUSAL FACTORS AND PROGNOSIS OF STATUS EPILEPTICUS
(Master thesis, 2013)Purpose: To evaluate the duration, treatment and prognosis of status epilepticus (SE) in relation to cause. Of particular interest was to examine how nonadherence to prophylactic medication contributed to SE in patients ... -
Change in peak oxygen uptake after eight-month exercise intervention in post-myocardial infarction men and women.
(Master thesis, 2022)Hensikt: Studere endringen i oksygenopptak etter åtte måneders treningsintervensjon blant menn og kvinner som tidligere har vært utsatt for hjerteinfarkt. Metode: Oksygenopptak ble målt ved oppstart og slutten av ... -
Change in performance of gait related physical tests with application of an orthotic solution in children with GMFCS level I or II and hemiplegia – an explorative study
(Master thesis, 2022)Bakgrunn: Ankel - fotortoser (AFO) og “functional electrical stimulation” (FES) er ortoser som ofte blir tilpas-set barn med spastisk hemiplegi for å forbedre gangen. Barns daglige aktiviteter består for øvrig av flere ... -
