Kinematic analysis of the European Enhanced Exploration Exercise Device in unpowered mode Open
As human spaceflight extends to the Moon, mitigating microgravity-induced deconditioning is critical for astronaut health and mission success. Current exercise systems on the International Space Station are bulky and power-intensive, limit…

Effects of 12 weeks of upper‐body rowing exercise on autonomic cardiovascular control and vascular structure in spinal cord‐injured humans Open
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is characterized by autonomic cardiovascular dysfunction that may contribute to the three‐ to fourfold greater risk of heart disease and stroke compared to non‐injured individuals. While exercise training elicits b…

Maternal positions in childbirth – A cohort study of labouring women’s movements and body positions the last 24 hours before birth Open
Women spent 80% of their time in sacrum non-flexible positions during the last 24 hours before childbirth. At birth, more than 90% gave birth in sacrum non-flexible positions.

Defining responders to altered running footwear based on measures of running economy Open
This study compared three different ways of defining a responder to a shoe intervention when assessing running economy (RE). Furthermore, we investigated the influence of multiple trials on the classification of responders. This was done u…

Impact of upper-body ergometer rowing exercise on aerobic fitness and cardiometabolic disease risk in individuals with spinal cord injury: A 6-month follow-up study Open
Objective: We recently demonstrated that upper-body rowing exercise (UBROW) improved aerobic fitness in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI), with no effect on traditional cardiometabolic risk factors. Here, we tested the hypothesis t…
Motion sickness and cybersickness – Sensory mismatch Open
The use of virtual reality (VR) with head-mounted displays (HMD) may cause side effects called cybersickness with symptoms comparable to those of motion sickness. In this study, we explored whether individual balance characteristics and se…

Sociodemographic characteristics associated with physical activity barrier perception among manual wheelchair users Open
Our results provide new evidence that MWCUs with BMI ≥30; who are not employed; or who only have completed high school, may need special consideration and resources to overcome distinct physical activity barriers. Behavioral strategies and…

Effect of wheelchair-modified rowing exercise on cardiometabolic risk factors in spinal cord injured wheelchair users: protocol for a randomised controlled trial Open
Introduction Cardiovascular and metabolic diseases are a growing concern for individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). Physical inactivity contributes to cardiometabolic morbidity and mortality in the SCI population. However, previous stu…
Age related differences in balance approached by a novel dual-task test of anticipatory postural control strategies Open
The test reveals an individual's capacity to use cues for anticipatory postural control strategies in a dual-task setting and thereby estimates automatization of postural control. While the young subjects were capable of improving their pe…
Instrumented Wobble Board for Testing Functional Ankle Instability Open
Lateral ankle distortion is one of the most frequent sports injuries. In approximately 40% of the incidents, the individual will develop chronic ankle instability. Ankle instability is not detected consistently using traditional balance me…
Examination of the gait pattern based on adjusting and resulting components of the stride-to-stride variability: proof of concept Open
This new approach to the evaluation of stride-to-stride variability suggests that gait velocity adjustments occurred within one full stride cycle during treadmill walking among asymptomatic young adults. The validity of the approach needs …

The association between eccentric hip abduction strength and hip and knee angular movements in recreational male runners: An explorative study Open
Weak hip abductors may be related with increased hip adduction and knee abduction angular movement, which may be risk factors of lower extremity injuries. As the role of eccentric hip abduction strength ( EHAS ) on hip adduction angular mo…
The Use of Cognitive Cues for Anticipatory Strategies in a Dynamic Postural Control Task - Validation of a Novel Approach to Dual-Task Testing Open
The dual-task test was sensitive enough to discriminate between elderly and young people. It revealed that the elderly did not utilize cognitive cues for their anticipatory postural control strategies as well as the young were able to. The…
The Use of Computer-Assisted Home Exercises to Preserve Physical Function after a Vestibular Rehabilitation Program: A Randomized Controlled Study Open
Objective. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether elderly patients with vestibular dysfunction are able to preserve physical functional level, reduction in dizziness, and the patient’s quality of life when assistive computer tec…
