UNLABELLED: Reaching movements are initiated by activity of the prime mover, i.e. the first activated arm muscle. We aimed to investigate the relationship between prime mover activity and kinematics of reaching in typically developing (TD) infants in supine and sitting position. Fourteen infants were …

The enhancement of GPS technology enables the use of GPS devices not only as navigation and orientation tools, but also as instruments used to capture travelled routes: as sensors that measure activity on a city scale or the regional scale. TU Delft developed a process and database architecture for collecting …

People can not live without other people. A person is always influenced, whether this is by the environment, the situation or the people(Arson, Wilson, Akert, 2005). Each way of behaviour is a reaction on the behaviour of someone else(Wijsman, 2001). Also behaviour is influenced by many factors such …

The basic level of postural control is functionally active from early infancy onwards: young infants possess a repertoire of direction-specific postural adjustments. Whether or not direction-specific adjustments are used depends on the child's age and the nature of the postural task. The second level …

Doel Obesitas vormt een wereldwijd probleem. Het is aannemelijk dat de stijgende prevalentie van obesitas vooral moet worden toegeschreven aan een toenemende bewegingsarmoede in combinatie met een relatieve overconsumptie van voedingsmiddelen. Bestaande bewegingsprogramma's worden door personen met obesitas …

This study evaluated the effect of specific postural support on motor behaviour of infants with and without minor neurological dysfunction (MND). The following questions were addressed: (1) Does application of supportive pillows affect the time during which the infant exhibits general movements (GMs) …
