Ankle proprioception is not targeted by exercises on an unstable surface

Henri Kiers; Simon Brumagne; Jaap van Dieën; Philip van der Wees; Luc Vanhees

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 …

Physical fitness, rather than self-reported physical activities, is more strongly associated with low back pain: evidence from a working population

Filip Staes; Luc Vanhees (Lector); Susan Picavet; Henri Kiers (Lid Lectoraat); Hans Heneweer (Lid Lectoraat)

Introduction Physical activity is suggested to be important for low back pain (LBP) but a major problem is the limited validity of the measurement of physical activities, which is usually based on questionnaires. Physical fitness can be viewed as a more objective measurement and our question was how …
