Dit werk is gericht op 3-D lokalisatie van sensormotes in massale zwermen, uitsluitend gebaseerd op 1-D relatieve afstandsmetingen tussen naburige motes. We richten ons op toepassingen in afgelegen en moeilijk toegankelijke omgevingen zoals de exploratie en het in kaart brengen van de binnenkant van …

Rationale: Sarcopenia is a major problem and is common in community-dwelling elderly. In daily practice, there is need for low cost and easily assessable measurement tools to assess depletion of skeletal muscle (SM) mass, for example as one of the indicators of sarcopenia. Bio-electrical impedance analysis …

Rationale: Although ultrasound has been reported as valid and reliable tool to assess muscle size in older adults1, little is known about intra-rater reliability (intra-RR) and inter-rater reliability (inter-RR) of BodyMetrix in specific to assess small muscles. Therefore, in this study we aimed to assess …

OBJECTIVES: The Behavioral Pain Scale (BPS) and Critical-Care Pain Observation Tool (CPOT) are behavioral pain assessment tools for sedated and unconscious critically ill patients. The aim of this study was to compare the reliability, internal consistency, and discriminant validation of the BPS and the …
