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 …

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 …

In this research report a port delay-analysis was created that showed the different ports where the Odin loaded and discharged. MV Odin is a general cargo ship which always sails in liner service. This means that MV Odin always loads and discharges in the same harbours. These harbours are in Oxelösund …

On board the vessels of Holland America Line a lot of attention is drawn to prevent the loss of energy. On board energy is produced in several ways by fuel. Therefor fuel is the biggest expense of a cruise ship. On board steam is used for heating purposes. The type of steam used for these heating purposes …

The aim of the current study was twofold: (1) to validate the use of action sport cameras for quantifying focus of visual attention in sailing and (2) to apply this method to examine whether an external focus of attention is associated with better performance in upwind sailing. To test the validity of …

Ever since the recognition of the causality between earthquakes in the Region Groningen, gas production and the ensuing damage to houses and buildings in that area, government faces big challenges in policy-making.
