Gasparutto, X. (author), van der Graaff, E. (author), van der Helm, F.C.T. (author), Veeger, H.E.J. (author)In baseball pitching, biomechanical parameters have been linked to ball velocity and potential injury risk. However, although the features of a biomechanical model have a significant influence on the kinematics and kinetics of a motion, this influence have not been assessed for pitching. The aim of this study was to evaluate the choice of the...journal article 2018

(author), de Looze, Michiel (author)In repetitive work, more physical variation is believed to reduce the risk of eventually developing musculoskeletal disorders.

Mirakhorlo, M. (author), Maas, Huub (author), Veeger, H.E.J. (author)Finger enslaving is defined as the inability of the fingers to move or to produce force independently. Such finger enslaving has predominantly been investigated for isometric force tasks. The aim of this study was to assess whether the extent of force enslaving is dependent on relative finger movements. Ten right-handed subjects (22–30 years)...journal article 2017

van der Graaff, Erik (author), Hoozemans, Marco (author), Pasteuning, Maurice (author), Veeger, H.E.J. (author), Beek, Peter J. (author)It has often been shown that performance and learning in movement tasks may be improved by focusing on the effect of the movement in the environment (external focus of attention) instead of the movement itself (internal focus of attention). Nevertheless, most coaching instructions and feedback information given in sports seem to favor an...journal article 2017

van der Kruk, E. (author), Veeger, H.E.J. (author), van der Helm, F.C.T. (author), Schwab, A.L. (author)Advice about the optimal coordination pattern for an individual speed skater, could be addressed by simulation and optimization of a biomechanical speed skating model. But before getting to this optimization approach one needs a model that can reasonably match observed behaviour. Therefore, the objective of this study is to present a verified...journal article 2017

(author)The aim of this study was to determine to what extent mobility performance is influenced by offensive or defensive situations and ball possession and to what extent these actions are different for the field positions. From video analysis, the relative duration of the various wheelchair movements during team offense/defense and individual ball...journal article 2017

(author), Toelsie, Jerry (author), Vanhees, Luc (author)Background: Suriname is a middle-income country with a multi-ethnic population. Urbanization and ethnicity may be associated with incidence of cerebrovascular disease, but so far this has not been documented for Suriname. The objective of this study was to examine the prevalence of stroke in the capital of Suriname, and its association with...journal article 2016

(author)In the current project, we aim to provide speed skaters with real-time feedback on how to improve their skating performance within an individual stroke. The elite skaters and their coaches wish for a system that determines the mechanical power per stroke. The push-off force of the skater is a crucial variable in this power determination. In...journal article 2016
