This study aims to identify kinematic differences between children with Ponseti treated clubfoot and age-mat- ched healthy controls during gait, using the Oxford Foot Model. This pilot is part of a large project comparing gait kinematics between children with Ponseti treated clubfoot with and without …

Background A key factor in successfully preventing falls, is early identification of elderly with a high risk of falling. However, currently there is no easy-to-use pre-screening tool available; current tools are either not discriminative, time-consuming and/or costly. This pilot investigates the feasibility …

XoSoft is a soft modular wearable assistive exoskeleton for peo- ple with mild to moderate gait impairments. It is currently being developed by a European Consortium (www.xosoft.eu) and aims to provide tailored and active lower limb support during ambu- lation. During development, user-centered design …

We present a method for measuring gait velocity of older adults using data from existing ambient sensor networks. Gait velocity is an important predictor of fall risk and functional health. In contrast to other approaches that use specific sensors or sensor configurations, our method imposes no constraints …

Background: A significant part of neurological rehabilitation focuses on facilitating the learning of motor skills. Training can adopt either (more) explicit or (more) implicit forms of motor learning. Gait is one of the most practiced motor skills within rehabilitation in people after stroke because …

Inleiding: Goed evenwicht is belangrijk om makkelijk te kunnen lopen. Bij evenwichtsstoornissen is het lopen bemoeilijkt. Daarom is er tijdens de periode van Stage 2 in 2017 een op augmented reality gebaseerd hulpmiddel ontwikkeld (werknaam: ‘Briljant’) dat moet helpen bij het bewaren van balans tijdens …

Crouch gait, is een van de meest voorkomende loopafwijkingen onder patiënten met cerebrale parese (Delp, Arnold, Speers, & Moore, 1996). Kenmerkend aan de crouch gait is de extreme knieflexie in de standfase en terminal swing. Crouch gait wordt vaak behandeld door chirurgische verlenging van de hamstrings. …

Movement is an essential part of our lives. Throughout our lifetime, we acquire many different motor skills that are necessary to take care of ourselves (e.g., eating, dressing), to work (e.g., typing, using tools, care for others) and to pursue our hobbies (e.g., running, dancing, painting). However, …

The standardized Mensendieck test (SMT) was developed to quantify posture, movement, gait, and respiration. In the hands of an experienced therapist, the SMT is proven to be a reliable tool. It is unclear whether posture, movement, gait, and respiration are related to the degree of functional disability …

Het doel van dit onderzoek is om te bepalen of de spieractiviteit van de m. soleus beïnvloed kan worden door biofeedback op het spieractivatiepatroon van deze spier. Daarnaast wordt er bekeken welke compensatiestrategieën gebruikt worden om aan de feedback te voldoen. Met de uitkomsten kan een indicatie …
