Waterschap Scheldestromen is carrying out a particularly innovative project named Multiflexmeter (MFM), of which the objective is to look for ways to measure the soil resistance . This means some properties and characteristics of water needs to be researched on, such as the salinity and the corresponding …

Wearable inertial sensors (WIS) facilitate the preservation of the athlete-environment relationship by allowing measurement outside the laboratory. WIS systems should be validated for team sports movements before they are used in sports performance and injury prevention research. The aim of the present …

Objective To compare estimates of effect and variability resulting from standard linear regression analysis and hierarchical multilevel analysis with cross-classified multilevel analysis under various scenarios. Study design and setting We performed a simulation study based on a data structure from an …

Abstract Background: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), has challenged healthcare globally. An acute increase in the number of hospitalized patients has neces‑ sitated a rigorous reorganization of hospital care, thereby creating …

Background To gain insight into the role of plantar intrinsic foot muscles in fall-related gait parameters in older adults, it is fundamental to assess foot muscles separately. Ultrasonography is considered a promising instrument to quantify the strength capacity of individual muscles by assessing their …

Background: Non-technical errors, such as insufficient communication or leadership, are a major cause of medical failures during trauma resuscitation. Research on staffing variation among trauma teams on teamwork is still in their infancy. In this study, the extent of variation in trauma team staffing …

Background and Objectives: Involving older persons in the design process of digital technology (DT) promotes the development of technologies that are appealing, beneficial, and used. However, negative discourse on aging and ageism are potential underlying factors that could influence which and how DTs …

We investigate a computer supported approach in which pairs co-con-struct a qualitative representation of the dynamics of the industrial revolution in a shared workspace. A key feature of this approach concerns the use of a meta-vocabulary for representing cause-and-effect relationships that facilitates …

BACKGROUND: Clinical reasoning is a crucial task within the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) care process. Both contextual and cognitive factors make the task susceptible to errors. Understanding the EMS care process' structure could help identify and address issues that interfere with clinical reasoning. …

The wheelchair ergometer (Lode Esseda) can be used to monitor propulsion variables of wheelchair users, for example to evaluate wheelchair adaptations. In order to interpret the outcomes of the measurements and to support clinical decision making, it is important to distinguish real changes in propulsion …
