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 The plantar intrinsic foot muscles (PIFMs) have a role in dynamic functions, such as balance and propulsion, which are vital to walking. These muscles atrophy in older adults and therefore this population, which is at high risk to falling, may benefit from strengthening these muscles in order …

Dit onderzoek gaat over hoe de psychologische veiligheid binnen een ondersteuningsnetwerk bevorderd wordt aan de hand van het model van Van der Loo en Beks (2021). Hierbij wordt er onderzocht hoe ondersteuners van het netwerk, die tevens in de interne leergroep groepsdynamiek zitten, actiegericht kunnen …

Objective and Purpose: A triage system that prioritizes care according to medical urgency has a favorable effect on safety and efficiency of emergency care. The Dutch obstetric telephone triage system is comparable to physical triage systems. It consists of five urgency levels: resuscitation and life …

Het Platform Inzet van Technologie voor Gezondheid en Welzijn (PIT) beoogt bij te dragen aan de duurzame implementatie van technologische innovaties in (gezondheids)zorg en welzijn (digitale zorg en ondersteuning). In deze kennisagenda bestaan twee inhoudelijke hoofdthema's beschreven: 1) implementatie …
