Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is the most widespread type of musculoskeletal pain. Roughly 5% to 10% of low back pain cases become chronic, creating difficulties for those affected. High Intensity Laser Therapy (HILT) is used as treatment for musculoskeletal conditions. Studies have revealed HILT’s …

Wereldwijd is aspecifieke lage rugpijn (LRP) de belangrijkste oorzaak van beperkingen in activiteiten en participatie(1, 2). Van de volwassen bevolking ervaart 37% per jaar LRP, een klein deel hiervan behoudt chronische LRP(3, 4). Chronische LRP kan ontstaan door invloed van diverse risicofactoren. Belangrijke …

Low back pain (LBP) is a global problem that causes high rates of treatment costs, sick leave, and functional disability. Most LBP patients suffer from non-specific LBP (NSLBP) and a smaller portion of sufferers develop chronic pain (CLBP). Within CLBP patients, a more complicated group of syndromes …

Non-specific low back pain (LBP) is one of the most prevailing health problems worldwide, with a life-time prevalence of 38.9%. In almost 85% of low back pain patients, a patho-anatomical diagnosis cannot be distinguished. The estimation is that between 5.0% and 10.0% of LBP will develop into chronic …

Musculoskeletal disorders are leading causes of work disability. Our purpose was to develop a predictive model in a cohort from 2012 and validate the model in 2016 data.

Chronic low back pain (CLBP) has major public health implications, and underlying mechanisms are still unclear. Sensorimotor incongruence (SMI)—an ongoing mismatch between top-down motor output and predicted sensory feedback—may play a role in the course of chronic nonspecific low back pain. The hypothesis …

The results reported by Kidd and Castano (2013) indicated that reading a short passage of literary fiction improves theory of mind (ToM) relative to reading popular fiction. However, when we entered Kidd and Castano’s results in a p-curve analysis, it turned out that the evidential value of their findings …

Autonomous driving in public roads requires precise localization within the range of few centimeters. Even the best localization systems based on GNSS cannot always reach this level of precision, especially in an urban environment, where the signal is disturbed by surrounding buildings and artifacts. …
