In deze studie wordt de achterliggende gedachte achter Pain Exposure Physical Therapy (PEPT) en Graded Motor Imagery (GMI) en een weergave van de huidige kennis over het effect van PEPT en van GMI bij patiënten met Complex Regionaal Pijn Syndroom (CRPS) type 1 beschreven.

Next to the manifestation of sensori-motor transformations such as singing and dancing, the ability to play an instrument by ear must rely on a unique convergence of cerebral functions involving motor preparation and auditory perception. In this study, we aimed to gain insight into the extent to which …

Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) was used to study the cerebral underpinning of resonance behavior in professional keyboard musicians (n=12). The activation paradigm implied that subjects listened to two-part polyphonic music, while either critically appraising the performance or imagining …

In this fMRI study, it was hypothesized that mirror neurons in the premotor-parietal network would be activated while improvising performers listened to music. Such activations would suggest that perception is engaging the action repertoire of the improvising musician. Recognition and understanding of …

Using fMRI, ten improvising musicians were contrasted with 10 non-musicians to explore brain activations while playing by ear. Subjects either imagined playing the music they were listening to, without moving their hands, or assessed the performance verbally without actually speaking. Half of the music …

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most commonly diagnosed peripheral neuropathy due to entrapment. This syndrome is currently being diagnosed clinically, often confirmed through the use of neural conductivity studies (NCS). Over 25 percent of the cases are still missed using this method, while NCS …

De transfer is een eeuwenoud probleem dat zich in vele situaties aandiend. Ook in de psychomotorische therapie komt men dit probleem tegen. Iedere psychomotorische therapeut kent waarschijnlijk het fenomeen wel waar de cliënt het niet lukt om nieuw gedrag in meerdere contexten uit te voeren. In dit onderzoek …

Achtergrond: Jaarlijks lopen ongeveer 8000 mensen in Nederland het Complex Regionaal Pijn Syndroom type 1 (CRPS1) op na een letsel zonder zenuwschade. De klachten hierbij zijn verre van congruent met het doorgemaakte trauma. 80% Van de patiënten geneest spontaan; de overige 20% blijkt slecht te reageren …
