Intra-assessor reliability and measurement error of ultrasound measures for foot muscle morphology in older adults using a tablet-based ultrasound machine

Lydia Willemse (Onderzoeker); Eveline J.M. Wouters (Lector); Martijn F. Pisters (Lector); Benedicte Vanwanseele (Onderzoeker)

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 …

The effect of interventions anticipated to improve plantar intrinsic foot muscle strength on fall-related dynamic function in adults: a systematic review

Lydia Willemse (Onderzoeker); Eveline Wouters (Lector); Henk Bronts (Onderzoeker); Martijn Pisters (Lector); Benedicte Vanwanseele (Onderzoeker)

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 …

Determinants of pain and activity limitations in foot osteoarthritis: An exploratory cross-sectional study in the Amsterdam-foot cohort

Ryman, V.F.M.; van der Esch, M. (Lectoraat Interdisciplinaire Zorg Voor Chronische Gewrichtsaandoeningen); Dekker, J.; Roorda, L.D.; van Dieën, J.; Twisk, J.W.R.; Verberne, S.K.; Huijbrechts, E.; Lems, W.F.; van der Leeden, M.

Objectives Osteoarthritis (OA) of the foot-ankle complex is understudied. Understanding determinants of pain and activity limitations is necessary to improve management of foot OA. The aim of the present study was to investigate demographic, foot-specific and comorbidity-related factors associated with …

Shoe-TIMeS

Fred Holtkamp (Lid Lectoraat); Geert-Jos van der Maazen (Onderzoeker); Fons Dehing (Onderzoeker)

Wereldwijd heeft 10% van de bevolking te maken met een vorm van diabetes. Een ziekte die, als gevolg van minder gevoel in de voet, kan leiden tot ernstige gezondheidsklachten. In het meest ernstige geval kan dit zelfs leiden tot (gedeeltelijke) amputatie van de voet. Shoe-TIMeS is een tweejarig SIA-RAAK …

Treatment of metatarsalgia based on claw toe deformity through soft tissue release of the metatarsophalangeal joint and resection of the proximal interphalangeal joint: Evaluation based on foot kinematics and plantar pressure distribution.

Niki Stolwijk; N.L.W. Keijsers; J.H. Pasma; W. Nanhoe-Mahabier; J. Duysens; J.W. Louwerens

INTRODUCTION: This study investigated the effect of operative claw toe correction with release of the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint, repositioning of the plantar fat pad and resection of the proximal interphalangeal joint on foot kinematics, plantar pressure distribution and Foot Function Index (FFI). …

Difference in direct effect of electromyography biofeedback of the abductor hallucis muscle on plantar pressure underneath the medial longitudinal arch during the short-foot exercise and a balance task in healthy adults.

Charlie Rassek (Student); Lydia Willemse (Begeleider)

Background: The aim of this research was to investigate the difference in direct effect of electromyography (EMG) biofeedback of the abductor hallucis (AH) muscle on the plantar pressure underneath the MLA (PPMLA) during the short-foot exercise (SFE) and a single-leg balance task (BT). Method: Pressure-time …

The effect of slower walking speed on the ankle kinematics of typically developing children

Manja van Wissen (Student); Daphne Wezenberg; Hanneke Braakhuis

Purpose The aim of this study is to describe the effect of slower walking speed on the ankle kinematics of typically developing children. Method Three dimensional lower extremity joint kinematics were collected of 10 developing children (ages 6-9) walking at a comfortable walking speed (CWS) and slower …

Lateral trunk lean and medializing the knee as gait strategies for knee osteoarthritis

T.A. Gerbrands (Docent); P.J.R. Theeven; S. Verschueren; B. Vanwanseele (Onderzoeker); Martijn Pisters

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: …

Prediction of walking speed using single stance force or pressure measurements in healthy subjects.

N.L.W. Keijsers; Niki Stolwijk; G.J. Renzenbrink; J. Duysens

Walking speed is one of the best measures of overall walking capacity. In plantar pressure measurements, walking speed can be assessed using contact time, but it is only moderately correlated with walking speed. The center of pressure might be of more value to indicate walking speed since walking speed …

In-shoe plantar pressure measurements for the evaluation and adaptation of foot orthoses in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: A proof of concept study

Menno Steenbergen; MSc Elleke Huijbrechts (Docent); Leo Roorda; Sicco Bus; Marike van der Leeden; Marloes Tenten-Diepenmaat; Dirkjan van Schaardenburg; Joost Dekker

Objectives: Improving foot orthoses (FOs) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by using in-shoe plantar pressure measurements seems promising. The objectives of this study were to evaluate (1) the outcome on plantar pressure distribution of FOs that were adapted using in-shoe plantar pressure measurements …
