Apparent diffusion coefficient values in Modic changes – interobserver reproducibility and relation to Modic type
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Background Modic Changes (MCs) in the vertebral bone marrow were related to back pain in some studies but have uncertain clinical relevance. Diffusion weighted MRI with apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC)-measurements ... -
Association of Modic change types and their short tau inversion recovery signals with clinical characteristics : a cross sectional study of chronic low back pain patients in the AIM-study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background - Modic Changes (MCs, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) signal changes in the vertebral bone marrow extending from the vertebral endplate) may represent a subgroup of nonspecific chronic low back pain that could ... -
Changes of inflammation in patients with psoriatic arthritis after high intensity interval training assessed by ultrasound and MRI, a randomized controlled trial
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Background In psoriatic arthritis (PsA) there is a theoretical risk of increased disease activity related to strenuous physical activity, including exercise. We evaluated the effect of high intensity interval training ... -

(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background - Osteoarthritis (OA) in the thumb carpometacarpal joint (CMCJ) is a prevalent disease which may lead to structural damage, severe pain and functional limitations. Evidence-based treatment recommendations state ... -
The relation of energy cost of walking with gait deviation, asymmetry, and lower limb muscle co-activation in children with cerebral palsy: a retrospective cross-sectional study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Background Compared to typically developing children, children with cerebral palsy (CP) have increased energy expenditure during walking, limiting activity and participation. Insight into whether the also deviating and ... -
Relative difference among 27 functional measures in patients with knee osteoarthritis: an exploratory cross-sectional case-control study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Background To raise the effectiveness of interventions, clinicians should evaluate important biopsychosocial aspects of the patient’s situation. There is limited knowledge of which factors according to the International ... -
