1.2 Problem statement As previously mentioned, a fully biobased pedestrian bridge was built in 2016 in Eindhoven University of Technology, over the river Dommel. This was a 14m bridge made from hemp and flex-fibre base. The project was developed by multiple parties including CoE BBE. The initiators of …

Snowboarden is een risicovolle sport, omdat iemand snel geblesseerd kan raken door eigen of andermans toedoen. Ruim 18% van alle snowboardblessures zijn knie gerelateerd (Sutherland 1996). Er zijn in de huidige markt genoeg braces voor het skiën. Echter, zijn er weinig braces specifiek ontwikkeld voor …

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 …

Wat zijn de succesfactoren en belemmeringen van een ‘Beweegbox’ wanneer deze als tool wordt ingezet door medewerkers voor bewoners van Vitalis Brunswijck ten behoeve van beweegstimulering? De ‘Beweegbox’ bestaande uit een (foam)bal, ballon(nen), foamstaven, dynabands, pylonnen, tennisballen, mediakaarten …

Lecture on reading images (using semitiocs and discourse theory) and the theorization of 'affect' (what is it that images 'do' to us).

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 …

Purpose: Pressure ulcers are a high cost, high volume issue for health and medical care providers, having a detrimental effect on patients and relatives. Pressure ulcer prevention is widely covered in the literature, but little has been published regarding the risk to patients in the radiographical setting. …

With the increase of offshore activities in the Arctic, the question arises if currently existing oil spill response plans involve effective methods for removing oil slicks in Arctic conditions. The dispersant Corexit9500 is commonly applied as response agent to disperse oil slicks. It has been applied …

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 …

Laboratory study using a repeated measures design. The aim of this study was to determine if ankle proprioception is targeted in exercises on unstable surfaces. Lateral ankle sprain (LAS) has recurrence rates over 70%, which are believed to be due to a reduced accuracy of proprioceptive signals from …
