Een onderzoek naar de gewrichtsbelasting in de knie. Gekeken naar de spronghoogte, de correlatie tussen kniebelasting en schokdemping en de correlatie tussen spronghoogte en kniebelasting tussen drie verschillendesprongtechnieken: de gewoontesprong, de countermovementjump en de squatjump. Dit alles met …

De squat wordt binnen de fysiotherapie ingezet als functionele spierversterkende oefening voor de mm. quadriceps bij de behandeling en preventie van knieartrose. De mechanische belasting op de knie blijkt gerelateerd aan de mate van artroseprogressie. Het is niet bekend wat de biomechanische effecten …

Het aantal absolute personen met knieartrose neemt toe. Dit zorgt voor een grote economische last en speelt een grote rol bij uitval en terugkeer naar de arbeidsmarkt in het komende decennium. Het beroepsmatig tillen met geïncludeerde kniel­- of squat beweging laat zelfs het risico op het ontstaan van …

This paper analyses the effect of two new developments: electrification and ‘free floating’ car sharing and their impact on public space. Contrary to station based shared cars, free floating cars do not have dedicated parking or charging stations. They therefore park at public parking spots and utilize …

Objective: To determine (1) if Medial Thrust or Trunk Lean reduces the knee adduction moment (EKAM) the most during gait in patients with medial knee osteoarthritis, (2) if the best overall strategy is the most effective for each patient and (3) if these strategies affect ankle and hip kinetics. Design: …

Purpose: The etiology of pain in osteoarthritis (OA) is complex and multifactorial. A growing number of studies suggest that modification of pain-transmission in the peripheral and central nervous system, leading to sensitization, plays a role in OA pain. Sensitization seems to be associated with neuropathic …
