De Klerk, Rick (author), Vegter, Riemer Jakobs K. (author), Goosey-Tolfrey, Vicky L. (author), Mason, Barry S. (author), Lenton, John P. (author), Veeger, H.E.J. (author), van der Woude, L.H.V. (author)There are many ways to simulate handrim wheelchair propulsion in the laboratory. Ideally, these would be able to, at least mechanically, simulate field conditions. This narrative review provides an overview of the lab-based equipment used in published research and critically assesses their ability to simulate and measure wheelchair propulsion...journal article 2020

De Klerk, R. (author), Vegter, R. J.K. (author), Veeger, H.E.J. (author), van der Woude, L.H.V. (author)The measurement of handrim wheelchair propulsion characteristics and performance in the field is complicated due to the non-stationary nature of wheelchair driving. In contrast, the laboratory provides a constrained and standardisable environment to conduct measurements and experiments. Apart from wheelchair treadmills, dynamometers or...journal article 2020

(author)Athlete impairment level is an important factor in wheelchair mobility performance (WMP) in sports. Classification systems, aimed to compensate impairment level effects on performance, vary between sports. Improved understanding of resemblances and differences in WMP between sports could aid in optimizing the classification methodology....journal article 2020

Veeger, Thom T.J. (author), van Trigt, B. (author), Hu, Hai (author), Bruijn, Sjoerd M. (author), van Dieën, Jaap H. (author)BACKGROUND: Literature describing differences in motor control between low back pain (LBP) patients and healthy controls is very inconsistent, which may be an indication for the existence of subgroups. Pain-related psychological factors might play a role causing these differences. PURPOSE: To examine the relation between fear of movement and...journal article 2020

de Klerk, Rick (author), Velhorst, Vera (author), Veeger, H.E.J. (author), van der Woude, Lucas H.V. (author), Vegter, Riemer J.K. (author)Background: Handrim wheelchair propulsion is often assessed in the laboratory on treadmills (TM) or ergometers (WE), under the assumption that they relate to regular overground (OG) propulsion. However, little is known about the agreement of data obtained from TM, WE, and OG propulsion under standardized conditions. The current study aimed to...journal article 2020

van der Eb, J.W. (author), Veeger, H.E.J. (author), de Koning, Jos (author)Speed skates are the most important part of equipment of a speed skater, where weight, rocker and bend are just a few characteristics that are to a high degree individualized. This poses a challenge for any type of research in speed skating where forces have to be measured in a reliable manner. For this purpose, a 5 degrees of freedom (DoF)...journal article 2019

(author)Understanding the biomechanics of the drag-flick is important for refining the performance of this task in field hockey. The aim of this study was to determine whether the maximal knee angle and maximal angular velocity of the lead knee extension are associated with ball speed in elite drag-flick players. The kinematics of the drag flick was...journal article 2019

van der Graaff, Erik (author), Hoozemans, Marco J.M. (author), Nijhoff, Martijn (author), Davidson, Michael (author), Hoezen, Merel (author), Veeger, H.E.J. (author)The objective of the present study was to examine the magnitude and timing of peak pelvis and thorax rotations in achieving high throwing velocities in pitching fastballs. During the preseason (Test 1 or T1) and four months later (Test 2 or T2), kinematic analysis was performed on eight elite youth pitchers throwing fastballs. Peak rotation...journal article 2018

van der Kruk, E. (author), van der Helm, F.C.T. (author), Veeger, H.E.J. (author), Schwab, A.L. (author)The quantification of mechanical power can provide valuable insight into athlete performance because it is the mechanical principle of the rate at which the athlete does work or transfers energy to complete a movement task. Estimates of power are usually limited by the capabilities of measurement systems, resulting in the use of simplified power...review 2018

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
