Wang, L. (author), Fang, G. (author), Qian, L. (author), Leeflang, M.A. (author), Duszczyk, J. (author), Zhou, J. (author)Magnesium alloys have, in recent years, been recognized as highly promising biodegradable materials, especially for vascular stent applications. Forming of magnesium alloys into high-precision thin-wall tubes has however presented a technological barrier in the fabrication of vascular stents, because of the poor workability of magnesium at room...journal article 2014

Fan, C. (author)With the introduction of new technologies, surgical procedures have been varying from free access in open surgery towards limited access in minimal invasive surgery. During such procedures, surgeons have to manoeuver the instruments from outside the patient while looking at the monitor. Long and slender instruments are developed that can insert...doctoral thesis 2014

(author)Background: Since simulators offer important advantages, they are increasingly used in medical education and medical skills training that require physical actions. A wide variety of simulators have become commercially available. It is of high importance that evidence is provided that training on these simulators can actually improve clinical...journal article 2014

Clogenson, H.C.M. (author)Endovascular diagnostics and interventions are performed using long, thin and flexible instruments that are inserted in the blood vessel and manipulated toward a target in the vasculature. This technique has proven to be successful with the millions of patients diagnosed and treated worldwide every year. Though, this technique presents several...doctoral thesis 2014

Den Dunnen, S. (author), Tuijthof, G.J.M. (author)Using water jets in orthopedic surgery to drill holes in bones can be beneficial due to the absence of thermal damage and the always sharp cut. To minimize operating time and the volume of water that is used, the efficiency (volume of removed bone per added volume of water) of the water jet should be maximized. The goal was to study the effect...journal article 2014

Osth, J. (author), Eliasson, E. (author), Happee, R. (author), Brolin, K. (author)Human body models (HBMs) for vehicle occupant simulations have recently been extended with active muscles and postural control strategies. Feedback control has been used to model occupant responses to autonomous braking interventions. However, driver postural responses during driver initiated braking differ greatly from autonomous braking. In...journal article 2014

Schorsch, J.F. (author), Keemink, A.Q.L. (author), Stienen, A.H.A. (author), Van der Helm, F.C.T. (author), Abbink, D.A. (author)The design of exoskeletons is a popular and promising area of research both for restoring lost function and rehabilitation, and for augmentation in military and industrial applications. A major practical challenge to the comfort and usability for exoskeletons is the need to avoid misalignment of the exoskeletal joint with the underlying human...journal article 2014

Boonstra, T.A. (author), Van Vugt, J.P.P. (author), Van der Kooij, H. (author), Bloem, B.R. (author)Balance control (the ability to maintain an upright posture) is asymmetrically controlled in a proportion of patients with Parkinson’s disease. Gait asymmetries have been linked to the pathophysiology of freezing of gait. We speculate that asymmetries in balance could contribute to freezing by a) hampering the unloading of the stepping leg and...journal article 2014

Seeber, M. (author), Scherer, R. (author), Wagner, J. (author), Solis Escalante, T. (author), Müller-Putz, G.R. (author)Cortical involvement during upright walking is not well-studied in humans. We analyzed non-invasive electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings from able-bodied volunteers who participated in a robot-assisted gait-training experiment. To enable functional neuroimaging during walking, we applied source modeling to high-density (120 channels) EEG...journal article 2014
