A detailed solar prediction is necessary in case of particular cloudiness-patterns causing undesirable large fluctuations in photovoltaic electricity production. By considering the project objectives and expected outcomes, as well as the fact that the motion of the clouds is the key element that influences …

BACKGROUND: To evaluate the effect of (new) treatments or analyse prevalence and risk factors of contractures, rating scales are used based on joint range of motion. However, cut-off points for levels of severity vary between scales, and it seems unclear how cut-off points relate to function. The purpose …

Blended learning is not a flash in the pan, it’s here to stay. At The Hague University of Applied Sciences (THUAS) the implementation of blended learning is not yet in an adult stage, but in a newly introduced educational framework (The Hague University of Applied Sciences, 2017) blended learning plays …

BACKGROUND: Whether hip range of motion (ROM) is a risk factor for groin pain in athletes is not known. OBJECTIVES: To systematically review the relationship between hip ROM and groin pain in athletes in cross-sectional/case-control and prospective studies. STUDY DESIGN: Systematic review, prospectively …

This paper analyzes how endeavours to implement the EUCTD set in motion a dynamic process of institutional change and institutional work. This process lead to substantial differences between policy and actual practice; therefore, it is important to learn more about the implementation of harmonization policies …

An important issue in the field of motion control of wheeled mobile robots is that the design of most controllers is based only on the robot’s kinematics. However, when high-speed movements and/or heavy load transportation are required, it becomes essential to consider the robot dynamics as well. The …

OBJECTIVE: The association between groin pain and range of motion is poorly understood. The aim of this study was to develop a test to measure sport specific range of motion (SSROM) of the lower limb, to evaluate its reliability and describe findings in non-injured (NI) and injured football players. …

PURPOSE: In this prospective study, the changes in kinetics and kinematics of gait and clinical outcomes after a varus osteotomy (tibial, femoral or double osteotomy) in patients with osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee and a valgus leg alignment were analysed and compared to healthy subjects. METHODS: Twelve …

Balans en houdingsregulatie worden in de medische wereld gedefinieerd als het vermogen van een persoon om in evenwicht te blijven of te herstellen tijdens een houding of activiteit. Dit is niet vanzelfsprekend voor kinderen met cerebrale parese (CP). Inzicht verkrijgen in het balansvermogen tijdens gaan …

Inleiding: Binnen de topsport probeert men steeds te zoeken naar optimalisaties binnen de sport om de prestatie van de sporters te verbeteren, zo ook bij het rolstoelracen. De bondscoach van het Nederlandse Para Atletiek Team Arno Mul en Coen Vuijk van het bedrijf Motion Matters willen meer kennis over …
