Intra- and inter-rater reliability of biceps thickness assessment by ultrasound in elderly

Pinho, João Pedro; Azevedo, Rita; Rocha, Paula; Silveira, Joana; Nijholt, Willemke; Jager-Wittenaar, Harriët (Malnutrition And Healthy Ageing)

Rationale: Although ultrasound has been reported as valid and reliable tool to assess muscle size in older adults1, little is known about intra-rater reliability (intra-RR) and inter-rater reliability (inter-RR) of BodyMetrix in specific to assess small muscles. Therefore, in this study we aimed to assess …

Virtual obstacle crossing: Reliability and differences in stroke survivors who prospectively experienced falls or no falls

Michiel Punt (Lid Lectoraat); Sjoerd M. Bruijn; Harriët Wittink (Lector); Ingrid G. van de Port; Gijs Wubbels; Jaap H. van Dieën (Onderzoeker)

Abstract Introduction Stroke survivors often fall during walking. To reduce fall risk, gait testing and training with avoidance of virtual obstacles is gaining popularity. However, it is unknown whether and how virtual obstacle crossing is associated with fall risk. Aim The present study assessed …

Responses to gait perturbations in stroke survivors who prospectively experienced falls or no falls

Michiel Punt (Lid Lectoraat); Sjoerd M. Bruijn; Sanne Roeles; Ingrid G. van de Port; Harriët Wittink (Lector); Jaap H. van Dieën

Background: Steady-state gait characteristics appear promising as predictors of falls in stroke survivors. However, assessing how stroke survivors respond to actual gait perturbations may result in better fall predictions. We hypothesize that stroke survivors who fall have a diminished ability to adequately …
