Er bestaat onenigheid over het benaderen van een functioneel beenlengteverschil ten opzichte van een anatomisch beenlengteverschil en de noodzaak om deze verschillen te corrigeren, zo ook onder de werknemers van (Voet Medisch Adviescentrum) Starshoe. Hierdoor zijn de werkwijze en de bevindingen bij het …

The current procedure for assessing nervous activity in the spinal cord is needle ElectroSpinography (needle EMG). This is an invasive and painful approach during which a needle is inserted into the subarachnoid space. It is hypothesised that High-Density surface ElectroMyography (HD-sEMG) is a non-invasive …

Collapses of school or dormitory buildings experienced in recent earthquakes raise the issue of safety as a major challenge for decision makers. A school building is ‘just another structure’ technically speaking, however, the consequences of a collapse in an earthquake could lead to social reactions …

Objective: To determine (1) if Medial Thrust or Trunk Lean reduces the knee adduction moment (EKAM) the most during gait in patients with medial knee osteoarthritis, (2) if the best overall strategy is the most effective for each patient and (3) if these strategies affect ankle and hip kinetics. Design: …

Introduction Lateral trunk sway has never been assessed with an accelerometer in patients before and after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine the effect of a TKA-implant on lateral trunk sway amplitude with an accelerometer before and six weeks after TKA. Method …

In 2017 Volvo will deliver 100 self-driving cars as part of the Drive Me project. These cars will be able to drive autonomously on the ring road of Gothenburg, without requiring any driver supervision. To realize this vision, the cars need different algorithms to recognize, and be able to react to, different …

In this chapter, Troxler and Van Woensel will try to identify the possible socio-technical changes that 3D printing effectuates and their larger consequences on businesses, the economy and society at large. To this end, they first track the emergence of three-dimensional printing technology. They draw …

The purpose of this study was to establish standard reference values of the Transversus abdominis and internal oblique muscles during maximal inhalation, exhalation and respiratory pause in a standing position. Additionally, this study aims to estimate the correlation between those standard reference …

Radical changes are happening in manufacturing. New digital technologies render manufacturing more versatile, more flexible and more accessible. "Making' has become the term to describe how ordinary individuels use these technologies as a hobby and as a route to generating business.

For long flights, the cruise is the longest phase and where the largest amount of fuel is consumed. An in-cruise optimization method has been implemented to calculate the optimal trajectory that reduces the flight cost. A three-dimensional grid has been created, coupling lateral navigation and vertical …
