Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is an imaging technique for collecting depth resolved information in human tissue based on an interferometer. With an imaging depth of between 1 and 2 mm, OCT is only used to investigate (near) surfaces. But with an axial (depth) resolution of between 2 and 10 μm, and …

Objectives To evaluate the feasibility and validity of gait parameters measured with an electronic walkway system in predicting short-term fall risk in nursing home residents with dementia. Methods 57 ambulatory nursing home residents with moderate to severe dementia participated in this prospective …

Laboratory study using a repeated measures design. The aim of this study was to determine if ankle proprioception is targeted in exercises on unstable surfaces. Lateral ankle sprain (LAS) has recurrence rates over 70%, which are believed to be due to a reduced accuracy of proprioceptive signals from …

Path tracking driver models assume the observed path deviation ahead of the vehicle to be proportionally transferred to a corrective steering input. The most simple version of such a model includes three parameters, a single preview distance, a steering gain and a delay time, being examined in this paper, …

Falls are a major health problem in nursing home residents with dementia. In nursing homes one-third of all falls results in an injury. In order to take tailor-made preventive measures in time, the fall risk profile of each individual nursing home resident should be periodically evaluated. A systematic …

The computer program ART.LAB is an important product with which physicians and researchers can measure different blood vessel wall properties, and save the recorded radio frequency data (RF-data) and other measured properties into files for later analysis. One of the most relevant ART.LAB measurement …
