Background: Development of more effective interventions for nonspecific chronic low back pain (LBP), requires a robust theoretical framework regarding mechanisms underlying the persistence of LBP. Altered movement patterns, possibly driven by pain-related cognitions, are assumed to drive pain persistence, …

Hamstringblessures ontstaan veel tijdens maximaal sprinten en niet tijdens submaximaal sprinten, dit kan verschillende oorzaken hebben. Er wordt gedacht dat een van die oorzaken de kanteling van het bekken is in het sagittale vlak, omdat de kanteling van het bekken een rol speelt in de lengte van de …

In wheelchair sports, the use of Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) has proven to be one of the most accessible ways for ambulatory measurement of wheelchair kinematics. A three-IMU configuration, with one IMU attached to the wheelchair frame and two IMUs on each wheel axle, has previously shown accurate …

In sports, inertial measurement units are often used to measure the orientation of human body segments. A Madgwick (MW) filter can be used to obtain accurate inertial measurement unit (IMU) orientation estimates. This filter combines two different orientation estimates by applying a correction of the …

Het objectiveren van de bewegingsuitslag (ROM) in gewrichten is een belangrijk onderdeel binnen de fysiotherapie. Het meest gebruikte valide meetinstrument, de goniometer, is onhandig in het gebruik waardoor vaak gekozen wordt voor een visuele inschatting welke erg onbetrouwbaar is. Smartphones nemen …

CC-BY Applied Ergonomics, 2021, March https://www.journals.elsevier.com/applied-ergonomics Purpose: To analyze progression of changes in kinematics and work physiology during progressive lifting in healthy adults.Methods: Healthy participants were recruited. A standardized lifting test from the WorkWell …

Literature highlights the need for research on changes in lumbar movement patterns, as potential mechanisms underlying the persistence of low-back pain. Variability and local dynamic stability are frequently used to characterize movement patterns. In view of a lack of information on reliability of these …

PURPOSE: It has been reported that there is no correlation between anterior tibia translation (ATT) in passive and dynamic situations. Passive ATT (ATTp) may be different to dynamic ATT (ATTd) due to muscle activation patterns. This study aimed to investigate whether muscle activation during jumping …

Purpose: Instability of the knee joint is reported by a majority (>65%) of patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and is hypothesized to play a crucial role in the initiation and progression of KOA. A generally accepted objective metric of knee joint stability is lacking, making development of diagnostics …

Om de veiligheid en prestaties van militairen te verbeteren is de Exobuddy ontworpen. De Exobuddy is een militair exoskelet dat in staat is minstens 50% van de rugzak te ondersteunen tijdens voorwaartse bewegingen. Naast het ondersteunen van de rugzak tijdens voorwaarts verplaatsen, is het noodzakelijk …
