Inleiding: Dans is een prachtige vorm van kunst en sport, maar door de hoge intensiteit hebben dansers een hoog risico op blessures aan de onderste extremiteit. Dit leidt voor 95% van alle dansers, zowel professioneel als recreatief, tot veelvuldige blessures. Extreme gewrichtsstanden en het dansen op …

Klimmen is een sport die de laatste tijd steeds populairder wordt. In zowel de literatuur als in de praktijk ontbreekt het echter aan voldoende kennis over de verschillen tussen klimmers. Tot op heden is er nog geen studie uitgevoerd om de positionering van het lichaamszwaartepunt (LZP) van de klimmer …

This thesis explores the development and integration of an automatic riggingtool as part of a web-based remote motion capture platform. The main objec-tive is to create a custom Auto Rigger using Python for Maya and seamlesslyincorporate it into the existing TPose platform.The research begins by investigating …

The following readable informs about the use case of motion capture technology developed by Movella inside a videogame development pipeline. By demonstrating the key features of the technology and the corresponding reasoning behind the design choices, this paper analyses and summarizes the necessary …

Inertial measurement units (IMUs) allow for measurements of kinematic movements outside the laboratory, persevering the athlete-environment relationship. To use IMUs in a sport-specific setting, it is necessary to validate sport-specific movements. The aim of this study was to assess the concurrent validity …

Background In adolescents with non-pathological and pathological joint hypermobility, gait deviations have been associated with pain and fatigue. It remains unclear what distinguishes the non-pathological form of joint hypermobility (JH) from pathological forms (i.e. hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome …

Aanleiding: Motion capture is een waardevol meetinstrument binnen de bewegingsanalyse. Markerless motion capture is een betaalbare variant van motion capture die de laatste jaren veel ontwikkeld is. Dit type motion capture bespaart onderzoekers veel tijd in de voorbereiding en dataverwerking en kan soms …

Background Objective gait analysis that fully captures the multi-segmental foot movement of a clubfoot may help in early identification of a relapse clubfoot. Unfortunately, this type of objective measure is still lacking in a clinical setting and it is unknown how it relates to clinical assessment. Research …

We report on the calibration and testing of a fiber Bragg grating (FBG)-based 2D-shape sensing strip for real-time monitoring of the position and orientation of the human spine during gait. The strip is evaluated for its use as an input for control of an exoskeleton for patients with spinal cord injury. …

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 …
