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 …

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 …

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 …

Purpose: This study examined the effects of a giant (4×3 m) exercising board game intervention on ambulatory physical activity (PA) and a broader array of physical and psychological outcomes among nursing home residents. Materials and methods: A quasi-experimental longitudinal study was carried out …

For creating sports innovations we need tools to collect data on physical activity behaviour. Collecting data is time-consuming and expensive. Therefore, sharing data and using it to answer multiple research questions is desirable. Especially in larger multidisciplinary research projects, it is beneficial …

Purpose The aim of this study is to describe the effect of slower walking speed on the ankle kinematics of typically developing children. Method Three dimensional lower extremity joint kinematics were collected of 10 developing children (ages 6-9) walking at a comfortable walking speed (CWS) and slower …

In order to achieve a level of community involvement and physical independence, being able to walk is the primary aim of many stroke survivors. It is therefore one of the most important goals during rehabilitation. Falls are common in all stages after stroke. Reported fall rates in the chronic stage …
