Aanleiding: Mensen met perifere polyneuropathie hebben last van gevoelsstoornissen en verminderde proprioceptie wat zorgt voor een verhoogd valrisico. In de literatuur is weinig bekend over het trainen van de proprioceptie bij deze patiëntenpopulatie. Het doel van dit onderzoek is het verkrijgen van …

Postural control during quiet standing was examined in typical children (TD) and children with cerebral palsy (CP) level I and II of GMFCS. The immediate effect on postural control of functional taping on the thighs was analyzed. We evaluated 43 TD, 17 CP children level I, and 10 CP children level II. …

Patients with non-specific low back pain (LBP) may use postural control strategies that differ from healthy subjects. To study these possible differences, we measured the amount and structure of postural sway, and the response to muscle vibration in a working cohort of 215 subjects. Subjects were standing …

Background Exergames are becoming an increasingly popular tool for training balance ability, thereby preventing falls in older adults. Automatic, real time, assessment of the user's balance control offers opportunities in terms of providing targeted feedback and dynamically adjusting the gameplay to …

Objectives: The strategy for dynamic postural stability might be different for male and female players. Additionally, dynamic and challenging tasks are recommended to measure differences in postural stability between injured and non-injured players. Therefore, the dynamic stability index (DSI) was developed …

Exergames provide a challenging opportunity for home-based training and evaluation of postural control in the elderly population, but affordable sensor technology and algorithms for assessment of whole body movement patterns in the home environment are yet to be developed. The aim of the present study …

The effect of alterations in the processing of proprioceptive signals, on postural control, has been studied using muscle vibration effects. However, reliability and agreement of muscle vibration have still to be addressed.This study aimed to assess intra- and interday reliability and agreement of vibration …

Achtergrond: Binnen de fysiotherapie ontbreekt het aan een duidelijk screeningsprotocol waardoor intrinsieke risicofactoren niet worden geïdentificeerd. Zo kan het zijn dat grote talenten niet doorgroeien tot volwaardige profvoetballers vanwege ernstige blessures. Doel: Het doel van deze literatuurstudie …

De effecten van balanstraining op de postural control van patiënten met enkelinstabiliteit is onderzocht door middel van een literatuurstudie. Op basis van deze literatuurstudie kan worden geconcludeerd dat balanstraining een positief effect heeft op de dynamische postural control. De resultaten op de …

The aim of this study was to examine differences in the performance of children with probable Developmental Coordination Disorder (p-DCD) and balance problems (BP) and typical developing children (TD) on a Wii Fit task and to measure the effect on balance skills after a Wii Fit intervention. Twenty-eight …
