Dit onderzoek gaat over de aanpak van Close Reading in combinatie met samenwerkend leren. De leerkrachten van het scholennetwerk hebben behoefte aan een andere aanpak van het begrijpendleesonderwijs. De aanleiding voor dit onderzoek is dat de leerlingen de begrijpendlezenlessen saai vinden en niet gemotiveerd …

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: We aimed to investigate the test-retest reliability and validity of ultrasound for two commonly used types of transducer, using different methods for the estimation of muscle size and echo intensity (EI). METHODS: Fourteen healthy adults were included in this study. Ultrasound images …

De BodyMetrix (BM) is een portabel, relatief nieuw en goedkoop echografisch apparaat voor het meten van lichaamssamenstelling. In deze systematische review wordt de betrouwbaarheid van BM en de validiteit ten opzichte van dual-energy X-ray absorptiometrie (DXA) en plethysmografie met luchtverplaatsing …

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Malnutrition and sarcopenia are common nutrition (-related) disorders in patients with COPD and are associated with negative health outcomes and mortality. This study aims to correlate ultrasound measured rectus femoris size with fat-free mass and muscle function in patients with …

The performance of neural electrodes in physiological fluid, especially in chronic use, is critical for the success of functional electrical stimulation devices. Tips of the Utah electrode arrays (UEAs) were coated with sputtered iridium oxide film (SIROF) and activated iridium oxide film (AIROF) to …

Rationale: Sarcopenia is a major problem and is common in community-dwelling elderly. In daily practice, there is need for low cost and easily assessable measurement tools to assess depletion of skeletal muscle (SM) mass, for example as one of the indicators of sarcopenia. Bio-electrical impedance analysis …

Rationale: Although ultrasound has been reported as valid and reliable tool to assess muscle size in older adults1, little is known about intra-rater reliability (intra-RR) and inter-rater reliability (inter-RR) of BodyMetrix in specific to assess small muscles. Therefore, in this study we aimed to assess …

This review evaluates the reliability and validity of ultrasound to quantify muscles in older adults. The databases PubMed, Cochrane, and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature were systematically searched for studies. In 17 studies, the reliability (n = 13) and validity (n = 8) of …
