Bregman, D.J.J. (author), Van der Krogt, M.M. (author), De Groot, V. (author), Harlaar, J. (author), Wisse, M. (author), Collins, S.H. (author)Background In stroke and multiple sclerosis patients, gait is frequently hampered by a reduced ability to push-off with the ankle caused by weakness of the plantar-flexor muscles. To enhance ankle push-off and to decrease the high energy cost of walking, spring-like carbon-composite Ankle Foot Orthoses are frequently prescribed. However, it is...journal article 2011

Asadi Nikooyan, A. (author), Veeger, H.E.J. (author), Chadwick, E.K.J. (author), Praagman, M. (author), Van der Helm, F.C.T. (author)The Delft Shoulder and Elbow Model (DSEM), a musculoskeletal model of the shoulder and elbow has been extensively developed since its introduction in 1994. Extensions cover both model structures and anatomical data focusing on the addition of an elbow part and muscle architecture parameters. The model was also extended with a new inverse...journal article 2011

Rodrigues, S.P. (author), Wever, A.M. (author), Denkelman, J. (author), Jansen, F.W. (author)Background This study aimed to identify the frequency of events in the different patient safety risk domains during minimally invasive surgery (MIS) and conventional surgery (CS). Methods A convenience sample of gynecologic MIS and CS was observed. Events were observed and categorized into one of the predefined patient safety risk domains....journal article 2011

De Winter, J.C.F. (author), Dodou, D. (author)Function allocation is a core activity of the human–machine systems discipline. Sixty years ago, Paul Fitts marked the outset of function allocation research with an 11-statements list. Since then numerous function allocation methods have been proposed, but strikingly the seminal Fitts list spans the entire history of this domain and continues...journal article 2011

Horeman, T. (author), Rodrigues, S.P. (author), Van den Dobbelsteen, J.J. (author), Jansen, F.W. (author), Dankelman, J. (author)Background - To improve endoscopic surgical skills, an increasing number of surgical residents practice on box or virtual reality (VR) trainers. Current training is focused mainly on hand–eye coordination. Training methods that focus on applying the right amount of force are not yet available. Methods - The aim of this project is to develop a...journal article 2011

Dunning, A.G. (author), Tolou, N. (author), Herder, J. (author)For many applications in precision engineering, a six degrees of freedom (DoF) compliant stage (CS) with zero stiffness is desirable, to deal with problems like backlash, friction, lubrication, and at the same time, reduce the actuation force. To this end, the compliant stage (also known as compliant mechanism) can be statically balanced with a...journal article 2011

(author)Background: In the light of both the importance and large numbers of case series and cohort studies (observational studies) in orthopaedic literature, it is remarkable that there is currently no validated measurement tool to appraise their quality. A Delphi approach was used to develop a checklist for reporting quality, methodological quality...journal article 2011

Wolterbeek, N. (author), Nelissen, R.G.H.H. (author), Valstar, E.R. (author)Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare a broad range of total knee prostheses with different design parameters to determine whether in vivo kinematics was consistently related to design. The hypothesis was that there are no clear recognizable differences in in vivo kinematics between different design parameters or prostheses. Methods: At...journal article 2011

De Vlugt, E. (author), Van Eesbeek, S. (author), Baines, P. (author), Hilte, J. (author), Meskers, C.G.M. (author), De Groot, J.H. (author)Muscles behave as elastic springs during the initial strain phase, indicated as short range stiffness (SRS). Beyond a certain amount of strain the muscle demonstrates a more viscous behavior. The strain at which the muscle transits from elastic- to viscous-like behavior is called the elastic limit and is believed to be the result of breakage of...journal article 2011

Forbes, P.A. (author), Happee, R. (author), Van der Helm, F.C.T. (author), Schouten, A.C. (author)Force and position perturbations are widely applied to identify muscular and reflexive contributions to posture maintenance of the arm. Both task instruction (force vs. position) and the inherently linked perturbation type (i.e., force perturbations-position task and position perturbations-force tasks) affect these contributions and their mutual...journal article 2011

Reilingh, M.L. (author), Tuijthof, G.J.M. (author), Van Dijk, C.N. (author), Blankevoort, L. (author)Background: Malalignment of the hindfoot can be corrected with a calcaneal osteotomy (CO). A well-selected osteotomy angle in the sagittal plane will reduce the shear force in the osteotomy plane while walking. The purpose was to determine the presence of a relationship between the foot geometry and loading of the calcaneus, which influences the...journal article 2011

(author)Background: Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) may occur after trauma, usually to one limb, and is characterized by pain and disturbed blood flow, temperature regulation and motor control. Approximately 25% of cases develop fixed dystonia. Involvement of dysfunctional GABAergic interneurons has been suggested, however the mechanisms that...journal article 2011

Van der Kooij, H. (author), Campbell, A.D. (author), Carpenter, M.G.

We investigated the effect of sampling duration on 22 commonly used frequency and time domain measures and stabilogram...journal article 2011

D'Amelio, V. (author), Chmarra, M.K. (author), Tomiyama, T. (author)Developing multi-disciplinary products presents cross-disciplinary problems that are difficult to predict and to solve. Unfortunately, those cross-disciplinary problems are often discovered only at a later stage of the design through physical prototypes and can lead to modification of the conceptual design of a product. This is extremely costly...journal article 2011

(author)Determination of an accurate glenohumeral-joint rotation center (GH-JRC) from marker data is essential for kinematic and dynamic analysis of shoulder motions. Previous studies have focused on the evaluation of the different functional methods for the estimation of the GH-JRC for healthy subjects.

(author), Krestin, G.P. (author), Van Osch, G.J.V.M. (author), Bernsen, M.R. (author)Background: Articular cartilage has very limited intrinsic regenerative capacity, making cell-based therapy a tempting approach for cartilage repair. Cell tracking can be a major step towards unraveling and improving the repair process of these therapies. We studied superparamagnetic iron oxides (SPIO) for labeling human bone marrow-derived...journal article 2011

Kragten, G.A. (author), Meijneke, C. (author), Herder, J.L. (author)There is a lack of agreement in the literature as to what exactly quantifies the performance of underactuated hands. This paper proposes two benchmark tests to measure the ability of underactuated hands to grasp different objects and the ability to hold the objects when force disturbances apply. The first test determines the smallest and largest...journal article 2010
