This study investigated temporal changes in movement strategy and performance during fatiguing short-cycle work. Eighteen participants performed six 7-min work blocks with repetitive reaching movements at 0.5 Hz, each followed by a 5.5-min rest break for a total duration of 1 h. Electromyography (EMG) …

Dysphagia is reported in advanced stages of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). The population of DMD is changing due to an increasing survival. We aimed to describe the dysphagia in consecutive stages and to assess the underlying mechanisms of dysphagia in DMD, in order to develop mechanism based recommendations …

This study investigated the effect of work pace on workload, motor variability and fatigue during light assembly work. Upper extremity kinematics and electromyography (EMG) were obtained on a cycle-to-cycle basis for eight participants during two conditions, corresponding to "normal" and "high" work …

Bij 2.4 procent van de Nederlandse bevolking leidt Temporormandibulaire disfunctie (TMD) tot geïndiceerde behandeling. Hoofdpijn is de tiende meest invaliderende aandoening voor zowel mannen als vrouwen. Personen met zowel hoofdpijn als TMD klachten hebben bovengemiddeld last van depressies. TMD en Hoofdpijn …

UNLABELLED: Reaching movements are initiated by activity of the prime mover, i.e. the first activated arm muscle. We aimed to investigate the relationship between prime mover activity and kinematics of reaching in typically developing (TD) infants in supine and sitting position. Fourteen infants were …

Doel: Momenteel bestaat er op wetenschappelijk gebied nog onvoldoende bewijs (evidence) over de revalidatieprocedure van de huidige revalidatie en de overgang naar de loopsport. Er is behoefte aan meer kennis ten aanzien van alles wat met sport en prothesen te maken heeft. Frank Dik wil de huidige sporters …
