In dit onderzoek is de inzetbaarheid van de Powerglove onderzocht voor het objectiveren van de standsveranderingen en bewegingsveranderingen van het eerste carpometacarpale gewricht (CMC-I) bij 15 gezonde proefpersonen, voor latere toepassing bij CMC-I artrose patiënten. De Powerglove meet in 3D het …

Objectives: To compare the content of the Fatigue Severity Scale and the subscale "subjective experience of fatigue" of the Checklist Individual Strength, and (ii) to assess the reliability of both questionnaires in polio survivors. Design: Repeated-measures at a 3-week interval. Subjects: Consecutive …

A rail-guided robotic system is currently being designed for the inspection of ballast water tanks in ships. This robotic system will manipulate sensors toward the interior walls of the tank. In this paper, the influence of rail compliance on the end-effector position error due to ship movement is investigated. …

The present study aimed to develop a football-specific self-report instrument measuring self-regulated learning in the context of daily practice, which can be used to monitor the extent to which players take responsibility for their own learning. Development of the instrument involved six steps: 1. Literature …

PURPOSE: Advanced radiotherapy treatments require appropriate quality assurance (QA) to verify 3D dose distributions. Moreover, increase in patient numbers demand efficient QA-methods. In this study, a time efficient method that combines model-based QA and measurement-based QA was developed; i.e., the …

Background The Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) is increasingly being used as a functional outcome measure for chronic pediatric conditions. Knowledge about its measurement properties is needed to determine whether it is an appropriate test to use. Purpose The purpose of this study was to systematically …

BACKGROUND: Burns occur frequently in young children. To date, insufficient data are available to fully describe the functional consequences of burns. In different patient populations and countries, the WeeFIM instrument ("WeeFIM") often is used to measure functional independence in children. OBJECTIVE: …

Single Fiber Reflectance spectroscopy (SFR) can be used to determine tissue optical properties such as scattering and absorption. The SFR technique employs a semi-empirical modal, which contains a parameter that is dependent on the fiber numerical aperture, NA . However, the NA is a wavelength dependent …

Background: The aim of this study is to validate a newly developed nurses' self-efficacy sources inventory. We test the validity of a five-dimensional model of sources of self-efficacy, which we contrast with the traditional four-dimensional model based on Bandura's theoretical concepts. Methods: Confirmatory …
