Het doel van deze afstudeerscriptie is om de bewegingsmogelijkheden en beperkingen van mevrouw Brinkman in kaart te brengen ten behoeve van het ontwerpen van een hockey orthese. Hieruit wordt een lijst van eisen en wensen samengesteld. Aan de hand van deze lijst kan de ideale hockey orthese voor mevrouw …

Probleemstelling: Profylactische inversiebeperkende hulpmiddelen beperken behalve de inversiebeweging mogelijk ook de plantairflexie in dynamische situatie. In statische situatie is dit voor enkele hulpmiddelen eerder aangetoond. Een plantairflexiebeperking kan gevolgen hebben voor de spieractiviteit …

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury prevention programs have been successful in the short term. Motor learning strategies with an internal focus (IF) to body movements have traditionally been utilized, but may be less suitable than an external focus (EF) for the acquisition and control of complex …

The seventh ACL Research Retreat was held March 19–21, 2015, in Greensboro, North Carolina. The retreat brought together clinicians and researchers to present and discuss the most recent advances in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury epidemiology, risk factor identification, and injury risk screening …

The purpose of this systematic review was to identify the measurements that are used in clinical practice to assess the quantity and quality of functional performance in men and women more than 2 years after ACL reconstruction with bone patellar-tendon bone (BPTB) or semitendinosus/gracilis (STG) graft. …

STUDY DESIGN: Meta-analysis. OBJECTIVES: To define the accuracy of clinical tests for assessing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures. BACKGROUND: The cruciate ligaments, and especially the ACL, are among the most commonly injured structures of the knee. Given the increasing injury prevalence, there …

The wrist allows the hand to combine dorsopalmar flexion and radioulnar deviation, a unique combination of functions that is made possible by a highly complex system of joints. The morphologic features of the carpal bones and of the radiocarpal and intercarpal contacts can be functionally interpreted …

A method to study ligament-length patterns in situ with roentgenstereophotogrammetry, using strings of glued tantalum markers, was developed. The method was tested against a bone-to-bone marking method in five carpal ligaments in three specimens, whereby the hand was moved through dorsopalmar flexion …
