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 Dijk, M.P. (author), Beek, Peter J. (author), Knoek van Soest, A.J. (author)The dive start is an important component of competitive swimming, especially at shorter race distances. Previous research has suggested that start performance depends on kinematic variables pertaining to the swimmer at water entry, notably the distance from the block, the horizontal velocity of the centre of mass and the angle between body...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

Ladru, Bo Jane (author), Langhout, Rob (author), Veeger, H.E.J. (author), Gijssel, Maarten (author), Tak, M. (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

Arntz, Anne I. (author), Van Der Putte, Daphne A.M. (author), Jonker, Z.D. (author), Hauwert, Christopher M. (author), Frens, Maarten A. (author), Forbes, P.A. (author)Vestibular signals, which encode head movement in space as well as orientation relative to gravity, contribute to the ongoing muscle activity required to stand. The strength of this vestibular contribution changes with the presence and quality of sensory cues of balance. Here we investigate whether the vestibular drive for standing balance...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 Trigt, B. (author), Schallig, W. (author), van der Graaff, E. (author), Hoozemans, Marco J.M. (author), Veeger, H.E.J. (author)The purpose of this study was to determine whether stride length and knee angle of the leading leg at foot contact, at the instant of maximal external rotation of the shoulder, and at ball release are associated with ball speed in elite youth baseball pitchers. In this study, fifty-two elite youth baseball pitchers (mean age 15.2 SD (standard...journal article 2018

Gaisser, F. (author), Peeters, Suzanne H.P. (author), Lenseigne, B.A.J. (author), Jonker, P.P. (author), Oepkes, Dick (author)A Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS) is a condition that occurs in about 10% of pregnancies involving monochorionic twins. This complication can be treated with fetoscopic laser coagulation. The procedure could greatly benefit from panorama reconstruction to gain an overview of the placenta. In previous work we investigated which steps...journal article 2018

(author)Purpose: To provide insight on the effect of wheelchair settings on wheelchair mobility performance (WMP). Methods: Twenty elite wheelchair basketball athletes of low (n = 10) and high classification (n = 10) were tested in a wheelchair-basketball-directed field test. Athletes performed the test in their own wheelchairs, which were modified for...journal article 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

van der Graaff, E. (author), Kom, Bengt (author), van Dis, Femke (author), Gasparutto, X. (author), Hoozemans, Marco (author), Veeger, H.E.J. (author)The pitching motion is an asymmetric action by which coordination of scapular rotation in the dominant arm might be affected in time and in comparison with the non-dominant arm. The study aimed to compare asymmetry and the evolution of scapular upward rotation over a one-year period. Data were collected twice, before and after a one-year...journal article 2018

(author)To improve our understanding on the neuromechanics of finger movements, a comprehensive musculoskeletal model is needed. The aim of this study was to build a musculoskeletal model of the hand and wrist, based on one consistent data set of the relevant anatomical parameters. We built and tested a model including the hand and wrist segments, as...journal article 2018

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
