Research Group for Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation
Division
The aim of the Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation research group (MSR) is to advance the evaluation and therapeutic intervention for musculoskeletal disorders of different target populations including (elite) athletes, people with spinal pain, and the frail elderly. The applied and translational research of the MSR group contributes in particular to the understanding of neuromuscular and proprioceptive control of human posture and movement in musculoskeletal pain conditions of diverse musculoskeletal domains, including rheumatology, traumatology, orthopedics and sports injuries. The MSR group conducts interdisciplinary research using innovative technological approaches such as computerized 3D-motion capture, force plates, electromyography, accelerometry, near-infrared spectroscopy, fMRI and muscle vibration.
