Wearable inertial sensors (WIS) facilitate the preservation of the athlete-environment relationship by allowing measurement outside the laboratory. WIS systems should be validated for team sports movements before they are used in sports performance and injury prevention research. The aim of the present …

Inleiding: Virtual reality (VR) wordt binnen de fysiotherapie onderzocht op welke wijze het toepasbaar zou kunnen zijn. VR is effectief gebleken bij een gevarieerd aanbod van pijn- en niet-aangeboren hersenletselpatiënten. De relatie tussen de toepassing van VR en nekklachten is nog niet zorgvuldig onderzocht, …

Modifiable (biomechanical and neuromuscular) anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury risk factors have been identified in laboratory settings. These risk factors were subsequently used in ACL injury prevention measures. Due to the lack of ecological validity, the use of on-field data in the ACL injury …

Following the signature of the Paris Climate Agreement, governments developed policy to limit the anticipated warming of the climate. For the construction industry, this mostly involves economic use of raw materials and reducing power consumption in the production and use of buildings. In order to achieve …

The flexible strain sensors have been a topic of interest for multiple studies in the past years. These sensors are soft, bendable mechanisms, which can be applied to substrates through printing or other means. They can indicate longitudinal strain through resistance change, which means that they can …

INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to determine the degree of ROM limitations of extremities, joints and planes of motion after burns and its prevalence over time. METHOD: The database of a longitudinal multicenter cohort study in the Netherlands (2011-2012) was used. From patients with acute burns …

Background: Development of more effective interventions for nonspecific chronic low back pain (LBP), requires a robust theoretical framework regarding mechanisms underlying the persistence of LBP. Altered movement patterns, possibly driven by pain-related cognitions, are assumed to drive pain persistence, …

Hamstringblessures ontstaan veel tijdens maximaal sprinten en niet tijdens submaximaal sprinten, dit kan verschillende oorzaken hebben. Er wordt gedacht dat een van die oorzaken de kanteling van het bekken is in het sagittale vlak, omdat de kanteling van het bekken een rol speelt in de lengte van de …

Momenteel zijn behandelingen voor hielklachten veelal gericht op inlegzolen en fysiotherapeutische oefeningen. Deze oplossingen bieden weliswaar verlichting bij het lopen maar behandelen de hielklachten zelf echter niet. In deze retrospectieve studie is het loopgedrag van 63 patiënten met (chronische) …

In wheelchair sports, the use of Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) has proven to be one of the most accessible ways for ambulatory measurement of wheelchair kinematics. A three-IMU configuration, with one IMU attached to the wheelchair frame and two IMUs on each wheel axle, has previously shown accurate …
