- This study describes the initial results of the rehabilitation for patients with cruciate ligament injuries. 569 patients entered the study, 460 could by analysed in detail. Four different protocols of physical therapy were used; 1. Functional (proprioceptive) training, 2. Isokinetic strength training, 3. Functional training with isokinetic training integrated throughout the entire period. All therapies were combined with modification of daily activities. Rehabilitation goals were set af 90% strength and function of the injured leg, in relation to the other side. Strength measurements were done in the Cybex-II-dynamometer. Knee function tests were done and Lysholm score were notes as well as Tegner activity scale. 60% reached the goal of 90% strength in knee-extension at 30beta/sec and 72% and 180 degrees/sec. 65% of the patients were classified as Excellent/Good in Lysholm score. 67% reached the goal in the 8-figure running-test, and 72% in one-leg-hop. 46%$ of the patients could return to their preinjury level of activity. 10% had a ligament reconstruction done. We conclude that physical therapy could be one alternative when treating patients with cruciate ligament injuries.

Journal article (other academic/artistic)abstract
- One purpose of this study was to describe how every day life is affected by using a wheelchair for residents of public nursing home facilities. A second purpose was to develop measurement methods for evaluation of seating and wheelchair functioning for elderly and to identify problems with elderly persons' seating position and/or wheelchair. 20 nursing home residents, age 71 to 95 (mean age 85 years), all wheelchair bound were videofilmed and photographed in a standardized manner while "driving" a fixed path indoors. The residents answered questions about how they experienced their wheelchair before and after interventions were implemented. Their driving skills and ability to transfer in and out of the chair was assessed according to an 8-point scale (FiR), developed for this purpose. A physical therapist and an occupational therapist analyzed seating positions and corrected numerous details on the wheelchairs. Six persons received new wheelchairs. The contact person of each resident was interviewed. Results showed that the elderly spent a large part of the day sitting in the wheelchair (mean 9 hours). At the follow-up, one month after concluding interventions, all residents experienced improvements in both seating position and wheelchair function. Responsibility for ordering and adjusting wheelchairs varied as did funding sources. A more rational order ought to be strived for.
