Master's thesis in Psychosocial health (ME504) Background of the project: This study deals with patients in Norwegian psychomotor physiotherapy treatment. The patients have been in treatment for a long time and had a lot of physical discomfort before starting treatment. Before starting treatment, patients had little knowledge and understanding of how different life stresses could cause bodily symptoms. During treatment, they were able to see and understand the relationship between psychological distress and physical, unpleasant symptoms. Purpose and problem: The purpose of the study is first and foremost to add new knowledge in mental health work, and in the psychomotor field. The problem i…
Painful Practice : A study of the prevention and treatment of strain injuries in the world of a violinist
2017
Master's Thesis Music Performance, Western Classical Music MUK501 - University of Agder 2017 Strain injuries are a common problem among violinists. The aim of this study was to collect information about different treatment methods, and whether or not they worked. Through two surveys and a personal, empirical approach, it became clear that there was no true answer to this, as most methods received both positive and negative responses. However, the results did indicate a slight distinction between the methods, as some turned out to be better at preventing and some better at treating strain injuries. The methods brought into this thesis are chiropractic, physiotherapy, osteopathy, doctor/medic…

Published version of an article in the journal: BMC Health Services Research. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1186/1472-6963-14-72 Open Access Background: Health professionals are required to collect data from standardized tests when assessing older patients' functional ability. Such data provide quantifiable documentation on health outcomes. Little is known, however, about how physiotherapists and occupational therapists who administer standardized tests use test information in their daily clinical work. This article aims to investigate how test administrators in a geriatric setting justify the everyday use of standardized test information. Methods. Qualitative s…

2014
This article explores the kind of critical and reflective thinking taht influences the social and health care professionals in the Individual Plan process. An inter-professional group of six healthcare and social researchers collected the data, which consisted of indepth interviews with 12 service providers who were the clients´ coordinators and one day centre leader. By focusing on reflective thinking in a critical perspective, it is concluded that coordinators are guided by different philosophical and theoretical perspectives in this process; a mixture of reasoning strategies, caring as a relational concept and a mixture of philosophical frameworks. To improve critical thinking in Individ…
INTELLIGENT ROBOTIC REHABILITATION THROUGH A HUMAN-ROBOT INTERACTION : A starting point for a robotic infrastructure which can be an aid for physioth…
2021
Master's thesis in Mechatronics (MAS500) This thesis contains a starting point for a robotic infrastructure which can be an aid for physiotherapists by issuing and adjusting assistive or resistive exercises. With added equipment for specialized operations, the Halodi EVEr3 Robot could be utilized as a basis for this kind of infrastructure. When a physiotherapist is performing a lower extremity rehabilitative movement on a patient, theEVEr3 robot could record this behaviour and mimic it for a desired number of repetitions. The design of a prototype is thought to be done safely as a collaboration with healthcare professionals.
