Cop, Christopher P. (author), Jakubowski, Kristen L. (author), Schouten, A.C. (author), Koopman, Bart (author), Perreault, Eric J. (author), Sartori, Massimo (author)Objective: Accurate estimation of stiffness across anatomical levels (i.e., joint, muscle, and tendon) in vivo has long been a challenge in biomechanics. Recent advances in electromyography (EMG)-driven musculoskeletal modeling have allowed the non-invasive estimation of stiffness during dynamic joint rotations. Nevertheless, validation has...journal article 2024

Schouten, Koen (author)Materials and material structures with highly specialised and unique mechanical properties are sought after in order to gain the most performance from a system. Materials generally have fixed mechanical properties and are unable to adapt in the case of new or unforeseen situations. Active mechanical metamaterials are able to alter the...master thesis 2023

Schouten, Janno (author)Patients who are admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) are extremely ill and at high risk of organ failure and death. Being admitted to the ICU is known to cause long lasting physical, cognitive, and physiological symptoms, which is called Post-Intensive Care syndrome (PICS). To provide better management of PICS, early recognition and...master thesis 2023

Geelen, J.E. (author), van der Helm, F.C.T. (author), Schouten, A.C. (author), Mugge, W. (author)Human hands are complex biomechanical systems that allow for dexterous tasks with many degrees of freedom. Coordination of the fingers is essential for many activities of daily living and involves integrating sensory signals. During this sensory integration, the central nervous system deals with the uncertainty of sensory signals. When...journal article 2023

(author), Weerdesteyn, Vivian (author)Background: After mild stroke persistent balance limitations may occur, creating a risk factor for fear of falling, falls, and reduced activity levels. Objective. To investigate whether individuals in the chronic phase after mild stroke show balance and gait limitations, elevated fall risk, reduced balance confidence, and physical activity...journal article 2023

Dekker, Bo (author), Schouten, A.C. (author), Scharenborg, O.E. (author)Silent speech interfaces could enable people who lost the ability to use their voice or gestures to communicate with the external world, e.g., through decoding the person’s brain signals when imagining speech. Only a few and small databases exist that allow for the development and training of brain computer interfaces (BCIs) that can decode...conference paper 2023

(author), Vos-van der Hulst, Marije (author), Keijsers, Noël L.W. (author), van Asseldonk, Edwin H.F. (author)Background: Spasticity, i.e. stretch hyperreflexia, increases joint resistance similar to symptoms like hypertonia and contractures. Botulinum neurotoxin-A (BoNT-A) injections are a widely used intervention to reduce spasticity. BoNT-A effects on spasticity are poorly understood, because clinical measures, e.g. modified Ashworth scale (MAS),...journal article 2023

(author)Literature proposes numerous initiatives for optimization of the Operating Room (OR). Despite multiple suggested strategies for the optimization of workflow on the OR, its patients and (medical) staff, no uniform description of ‘optimization’ has been adopted. This makes it difficult to evaluate the proposed optimization strategies. In...review 2023

(author), Smits, M. (author), Klein, Stefan (author)BACKGROUND: Accurate characterization of glioma is crucial for clinical decision making. A delineation of the tumor is also desirable in the initial decision stages but is time-consuming. Previously, deep learning methods have been developed that can either non-invasively predict the genetic or histological features of glioma, or that can...journal article 2023

As the energy performance of buildings improve, construction materials become more important as a cause of environmental impact. Less attention has been given to those materials. We explore, as an alternative for conventional...journal article 2023

Schouten, Job (author)Logistics and mobility services play a major role in our society, and efficient routing is a crucial part of this. However, even though routing problems have been widely researched, the solutions provided by algorithms do not always match drivers' expectations. Routing costs used by these algorithms are often based on one or a few parameters,...master thesis 2022

Schouten, Sander (author)Natural organic matter is one of the key components to remove from source water during drinking water production. NOM not only negatively influences the colour, taste and smell of the water, it also decreases the effectiveness of common water treatment steps such as (membrane) filtration and UV desinfectation. A big fraction of natural organic...master thesis 2022

Schouten, Aron (author)Context: In astronomy, collision detection is the computational problem of finding when planets, asteroids or satellites collide. Computer simulations make it possible to show very precisely how bodies move through space, which makes it possible to detect collisions. However, these simulations require a lot of computing power if there are many...bachelor thesis 2022

(author)Tremor is thought to be an effect of oscillatory activity within the sensorimotor network. To date, the underlying pathological brain networks are not fully understood. Disentangling tremor activity from voluntary motor output and sensorimotor feedback systems is challenging. To better understand the intrinsic sensorimotor fingerprint...journal article 2022
