Wang, X. (author)Human perception is an active process. By altering its viewpoint rather than passively observing surroundings and by operating on sequences of images rather than on a single frame, the human visual system has the ability to explore the most relevant information based on knowledge, therefore when growing up a human is able to develop cognitive...doctoral thesis 2015

De Vries, W.H.K. (author)The goal of this thesis is to assemble a method to estimate shoulder joint reaction forces, in daily conditions, based on long term collection of ambulatory measurable variables, to obtain the desired long term mechanical load profile of the shoulder. Chapter 2 examines, and discusses one of the general assumptions used in IMMS is: the...doctoral thesis 2015

Kuling, I.A. (author), Smeets, J.B.J. (author), Lammertse, P. (author), Onneweer, B. (author), Mugge, W. (author)In an admittance-controlled haptic device, input forces are used to calculate the movement of the device. Although developers try to minimize delays, there will always be delays between the applied force and the corresponding movement in such systems, which might affect what the user of the device perceives. In this experiment we tested whether...journal article 2015

Meskers, C.G.M. (author), De Groot, J. (author), De Vlugt, E. (author), Schouten, A.C. (author)Progress in diagnosis and treatment of movement disorders after neurological diseases like stroke, cerebral palsy (CP), dystonia and at old age requires understanding of the altered capacity to adequately respond to physical obstacles in the environment. With posture and movement disorders, the control of muscles is hampered, resulting in...journal article 2015

Van der Slikke, R.M.A. (author), Berger, M.A.M. (author), Bregman, D.J.J. (author), Veeger, H.E.J. (author)Accurate knowledge of wheelchair kinematics during a match could be a significant factor in performance improvement in wheelchair basketball. To date, most systems for measuring wheelchair kinematics are not suitable for match applications or lack detail in key kinematic outcomes. This study describes the construction of wheel skid correction...conference paper 2015

Stano, P. (author), Klinovaja, J. (author), Braakman, F.R. (author), Vandersypen, L.M.K. (author), Loss, D. (author)We investigate theoretically the long-distance coupling and spin exchange in an array of quantum dot spin qubits in the presence of microwaves. We find that photon-assisted cotunneling is boosted at resonances between photon and energies of virtually occupied excited states and show how to make it spin selective. We identify configurations that...journal article 2015

Zadpoor, A.A. (author)Investigation of the mechanical behavior of biological tissues and biomaterials has been an active area of research for several decades. However, in recent years, the enthusiasm in understanding the mechanical behavior of biological tissues and biomaterials has increased significantly due to the development of novel biomaterials for new fields...journal article 2015

Natenstedt, J. (author), Kok, A.C. (author), Dankelman, J. (author), Tuijthof, G.J.M. (author)Articular cartilage has limited regeneration capacities. One of the factors that appear to affect the in vitro cultivation of articular cartilage is mechanical stimulation. So far, no combination of parameters has been identified that offers the best results. The goal is to review the literature in search of the best available set of...journal article 2015

Vardy, A.N. (author)The disclosure relates to a method and system wherein sensors on a cap or directly disposed on a head can be localized using a stereo camera. By capturing a plurality of stereo images, the positions of the sensors can be determined with respect to each other. At least a first stereo image having a first set of sensors and a second stereo image...patent 2015

De Bruijn, E. (author), Van der Helm, F.C.T. (author), Happee, R. (author)Background: Musculoskeletal models served to analyze head–neck motion and injury during automotive impact. Although muscle activation is known to affect the kinematic response, a model with properly validated muscle contributions does not exist to date. The goal of this study was to enhance a musculoskeletal neck model and to validate passive...journal article 2015

Zadpoor, A.A. (author)The relationship between hip deformities and osteoarthritis has recently received a lot of attention. In particular, it has been shown that both osteoarthritis and its precursors, such as the hip deformities that lead to femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), are more prevalent in elite athletes compared with the general population. However, the...journal article 2015

Klomp, A. (author)In many stroke patients, a motor cortex lesion alters motor control. Initially, paresis is most prominent, but then over time, joint stiffening and hyperreflexia may occur. How these different disorders develop over time is still unknown due to high system complexity. Secondary changes in the corticospinal tract, peripheral biomechanics and...doctoral thesis 2015

Pinto Rebelo, J.L. (author)Robots are particularly well suited for executing tasks that take place in locations which are too dangerous or inaccessible to human operators. For robot manipulators to execute complex activities in unknown, unstructured environments, despite the recent increases in computation power, human input is still required for task planning and...doctoral thesis 2015

(author)It is known that the mechanical properties of bone-mimicking porous biomaterials are a function of the morphological properties of the porous structure, including the configuration and size of the repeating unit cell from which they are made. However, the literature on this topic is limited, primarily because of the challenge in fabricating...journal article 2015

(author)Ultrasound is frequently used to evaluate suspicious masses in breasts. These evaluations could be improved by taking advantage of advanced imaging algorithms, which become feasible for low frequencies if accurate knowledge about the phase and amplitude of the wave field illuminating the volume of interest is available. In this study, we compare...journal article 2015
