Article Synopsis
  • Musculoskeletal issues in children with cerebral palsy (CP) often lead to reduced ankle joint motion, and understanding factors like joint resistance and muscle structure can help address this problem.
  • This study involved 14 children with spastic CP and 14 typically developing (TD) children, measuring ankle dorsiflexion, joint resistance, and muscle architecture using advanced techniques like goniometry and diffusion tensor MRI.
  • Results showed that children with CP had significantly less passive dorsiflexion and greater joint stiffness compared to TD children, with negative correlations between stiffness, dorsiflexion, and muscle architecture properties.

Dietary fatty acids (FA) affect metabolic risk factors. The aim of this study was to explore if changes in dietary fat intake during energy restriction were associated with plasma FA composition. The study also investigated if these changes were associated with changes in liver fat, liver stiffness and plasma lipids among persons with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Purpose: Rheumatic inflammatory diseases affecting the temporomandibular joint and the masticatory system (TMD) have been described as painful and limiting. However, the condition is often overlooked in primary care. The objective of this qualitative study was to explore and describe TMD-related experiences and perceptions of persons with rheumatic inflammatory disease, and to put this into a rehabilitation perspective.

Objective: Magnetic resonance imaging can detect neurodegenerative iron accumulation in the motor cortex, called the motor band sign. This study aims to evaluate its sensitivity/specificity and correlations to symptomatology, biomarkers, and clinical outcome in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Methods: This prospective study consecutively enrolled 114 persons with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and 79 mimics referred to Karolinska University Hospital, and also 31 healthy controls.

Background: Even though there has been a cultural change within residential aged care to a more person-centered care, there remain improvements to be made for a more consistent way of working. Using a salutogenic approach along with person-centered care is a potential way to promote it. This study aimed to describe nurses' experiences of combining person-centered care with a salutogenic approach at a nursing home for older people.
