About me
- Has a PhD on human muscle atrophy and weakness following bedrest inactivity
or spaceflight (1996), and is the inventor of a strength training apparatus
(using gravity-independent flywheels) that has been used in microgravity
studies by ESA and NASA. Also, muscular recruitment and force development
during strength training and athletics were studied.
Current studies focus muscular weakness, gait disturbance and morphological
changes, including muscular fat infiltration, in orthopaedic patients
suffering from osteoarthritis (OA) of the lower limbs. Not only pain
alleviation but also restored limb function is nowadays requested after joint
replacement surgery. We have recently shown profound muscular atrophy and
weakness in hipOA patients - persisting the first 2 years after total hip
arthroplasty (THA). Hip, thigh and calf muscle atrophy is mapped out using
computerized tomographic (CT) cross-sections. Maximum force development about
hip and knee joints are measured using a developed dynamometer.
Another project studies the development and use of a small (focal) knee joint
implant for small joint lesions Effective treatment methods for small
cartilage defects is lacking. Young individuals may develop chronic
disability following focal joint damages during sport, in the workplace or
traffic accidents. A new implant and instruments has been developed within a
Swedish 探花精选 technology project and used in pilot study in sheep. Bone
ingrowth and cartilage wear is monitored.
