The mass adoption of Electric Vehicles (EVs) might raise pressure on the power system, especially during peak hours. Therefore, there is a need for delayed charging. However, to optimize the charging system, the progression of charging from an empty battery to a full battery of the EVs, based on real-world …

In de revalidatie is het van belang om de fysieke activiteit van patiënten te kunnen monitoren. Er zijn steeds meer producten die dit betrouwbaar kunnen, maar voor rolstoelgebruikers zijn er nog maar weinig mogelijkheden welke betrouwbaar genoeg zijn. Daarom hebben 2M Engineering en het Erasmus MC de …

Purpose: To provide insight on the effect of wheelchair settings on wheelchair mobility performance (WMP). Methods: Twenty elite wheelchair basketball athletes of low (n = 10) and high classification (n = 10) were tested in a wheelchair-basketball-directed field test. Athletes performed the test in their …

Purpose: To examine the effects of different small-sided games (SSGs) on physical and technical aspects of performance in wheelchair basketball (WB) players. Design: Observational cohort study. Methods: Fifteen highly trained WB players participated in a single 5v5 (24-s shot clock) match and …

This paper presents the results of a study regarding the cyclic bending over sheave fatigue life of five different type of small diameter cables (d <=2.5 mm) in a simple bending test around a D = 10 mm sheave. The goal of the study is to estimate the lifespan of cables in prosthetic applications. Three …

Purpose: Classification is a defining factor for competition in wheelchair sports, but it is a delicate and time-consuming process with often questionable validity. New inertial sensor-based measurement methods applied in match play and field tests allow for more precise and objective estimates of the …

Inleiding: Goed evenwicht is belangrijk om makkelijk te kunnen lopen. Bij evenwichtsstoornissen is het lopen bemoeilijkt. Daarom is er tijdens de periode van Stage 2 in 2017 een op augmented reality gebaseerd hulpmiddel ontwikkeld (werknaam: ‘Briljant’) dat moet helpen bij het bewaren van balans tijdens …

Een cerebrovasculair accident (CVA) is een verzameling van ziektebeelden waarbij er een verstoring optreedt in de bloedcirculatie van de hersenen. De behandeling na een CVA vindt plaats in het ziekenhuis tijdens de opname periode, thuis na de opname periode en/of in een revalidatiecentrum. Om erachter …

PURPOSE: To explore the underlying dimensions of the Barriers and Motivators Questionnaire that is used to assess barriers to and motivators of physical activity experienced by recipients of solid organ transplantation and thereby improve the application in research and clinical settings. METHOD: A cross-sectional …

The aim of this study was to develop and describe a wheelchair mobility performance test in wheelchair basketball and to assess its construct validity and reliability. To mimic mobility performance of wheelchair basketball matches in a standardised manner, a test was designed based on observation of …
