In the nineties the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), faculty Maritime Technology (MT), department of hydromechanics, and the RNLNC, nautical sciences department, led by professor J.A Spaans, explored the possibility of determining the coefficients from full-scale sea trials. As a starting point …

PURPOSE: The popularity of long-distance walking (LDW) has increased in the last decades. However, the effects of LDW on plantar pressure distribution and foot complaints, in particular, after several days of walking, have not been studied. METHODS: We obtained the plantar pressure data of 62 subjects …

The present study used multiple calibration indices to capture the complex picture of fifth graders' calibration of feeling of confidence in mathematics. Specifically, the effects of gender, type of mathematical problem, instruction method, and time of measurement (before and after problem solving) on …

Plantar pressure measurement provides important information about the structure and function of the foot and is a helpful tool to evaluate patients with foot complaints. In general, average and maximum plantar pressure of 6-11 areas under the foot are used to compare groups of subjects. However, masking …

OBJECTIVE: Measurement of exercise capacity is essential in patients with non-specific chronic low back pain (CLBP). However, the conventional Astrand bicycle test is not feasible in patients with a very poor aerobic capacity. Therefore the Astrand bicycles test for non-specific CLBP patients based on …

The sources of productivity have always been the main subject of economic debate because they are the main determinants of profitability and competitiveness. In order to improve productivity we should be able to identify the sources of productivity. This article presents a method for measuring the sources …

Main question: How does the MBT sandal influence the muscle activity, the plantar pressure and kinematics and kinetics of the lower limb during walking compared to normal footwear in healthy subjects and what conclusions can be drawn concerning the benefits of the MBT sandals for patients with knee osteoarthritis? Objective: Gain …

Doelstelling in dit project is antwoord te krijgen op de volgende onderzoeksvragen: 1. In hoeverre worden de meetinstrumenten die genoemd worden in de KNGF-richtlijn COPD (2005) consequent gebruikt bij de anamnese, evaluatie en afsluiting door fysiotherapeuten werkzaam in de eerste-, tweede- en derdelijn, …
