de Miguel-Fernández, Jesús (author), Lobo-Prat, Joan (author), Prinsen, Erik (author), Font-Llagunes, Josep M. (author), Marchal Crespo, L. (author)Background: In the past decade, there has been substantial progress in the development of robotic controllers that specify how lower-limb exoskeletons should interact with brain-injured patients. However, it is still an open question which exoskeleton control strategies can more effectively stimulate motor function recovery. In this review,...review 2023

Kieft, Levi (author)Rehabilitation robots have been shown to be effective in post-stroke gait rehabilitation. However, these devices are usually expensive and suffer from high inertia which decreases transparency. The Minimally Actuated Tendon-based exercise Environment (MATE) is a tendon-based rehabilitation device, designed to be cost-effective and minimize...master thesis 2022

Claassen, Carlijn (author)The combination of the high number and the consequences of falls in older adults led to the development of fall risk assessments; non-sensor-based and sensor-based. Multiple studies used ML for older adults' fall risk prediction using raw IMU data. This study's objective was to develop a DL algorithm that predicts the fall risk of people living...master thesis 2022

Raeis Ghanavati, Parastou (author)The number of cardiac patients (people with heart problems) is growing all the time. Given that any person who encounters a cardiac condition should undergo cardiac rehabilitation (CR), a program to rehabilitate the heart and learn to manage it in daily life, it is expected that the health system will also grow exponentially in order to meet the...master thesis 2022

Balvert, Stephan (author)In this work, we propose a method for monitoring and management of rotator-cuff tendon strains in human-robot collaborative physical therapy for rotator cuff rehabilitation. The proposed approach integrates a complex offline biomechanical model with a collaborative, industrial robot arm and an impedance controller. The model is used for...master thesis 2022

te Velde, Esmée (author)Mangroves trap sediment and are the first coastal defence line for many coastal areas. Unfortunately, mangrove coasts worldwide are eroding due to deforestation, exposing local communities to flood hazards. In Demak, Indonesia, a Building with Nature approach was chosen to counteract erosion. Permeable dams were built on the foreshore to...master thesis 2022

Bles, Matthijs (author)Mangroves are productive ecosystems. Degradation of mangroves has been observed since the 1970s, due to a variety of reasons. Successful rehabilitation focuses on restoring conditions suitable for mangroves. Sediment availability has been shown to positively impact mangrove growth. Therefore, it can likely play a role in mangrove rehabilitation....master thesis 2022

Rademaker, Suzanne (author)Training with bodyweight support (BWS) systems can improve the likelihood of regaining normal locomotor abilities for neurologically impaired patients. It is known that people alter their gait parameters when walking with BWS. However, it is unclear whether 2D (vertical and lateral support) and 3D (only vertical support) BWS systems affect these...master thesis 2022
