Background: The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility and reliability of the modified Berg Balance Scale (mBBS) in persons with severe intellectual and visual disabilities (severe multiple disabilities, SMD) assigned Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) grades I and II. …

To date, it is unknown whether waist circumference can be measured validly and reliably when a subject is in a supine position. This issue is relevant when international standards for healthy participants are applied to persons with severe intellectual, sensory, and motor disabilities. Thus, the aims …

INTRODUCTION: The Work Well Functional Capacity Evaluation (WW FCE) is a two-day performance based test consisting of several work-related activities. Three lifting and carrying test items may be performed on both days. The objective of this study was to assess the need for repeated testing of these …

Om het bewegingsbereik van het lage lordotische gebied van de wervelkolom te meten zijn röntgen en MRI de meest gebruikte methoden. Aangezien er bij (alledaagse) bewegingen van de lordotische wervelkolom, bewegingen in verschillende vlakken tegelijkertijd plaatsvinden is het dynamisch meten van het bewegingsbereik …

In het Primair Onderwijs wordt sinds vier jaar gebruik gemaakt van de Interne Cultuur Coördinator, hierna benoemd als ICCer. Deze coördinator is onderdeel van een bredere regeling – Regeling Versterking Cultuureducatie Primair Onderwijs, hierna verder te noemen als de Cuprio regeling – die erin voorziet …

OBJECTIVE: Measurement of exercise capacity is essential in patients with non-specific chronic low back pain (CLBP). However, the conventional Astrand bicycle test is not feasible in patients with a very poor aerobic capacity. Therefore the Astrand bicycles test for non-specific CLBP patients based on …

Objective: Psychophysical lift capacity tests are lifting tests in which the performance, expressed in Newtons, is divided by the perceived exertion, expressed on a Borg scale. The aim of this study was to analyse test-retest reliability of psychophysical lift capacity tests. Subjects: Patients with …
