The evolution of arthrogenic muscle responses after ACL reconstruction and the effects of cognitive dual tasks in rehabilitation KU Leuven
After anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, altered muscle responses around the knee joint are seen, known as arthrogenic muscle responses (AMR). Despite their initially protective function, prolonged presence of these AMR may potentially lead to knee joint pathomechanics, which in turn could contribute to an increased risk of early knee osteoarthritis. In the first part of this study, we aim to investigate which factors could ...
EXPERT tool: proof-of-concept implementation of a market exploration with an interactive tool for prescribing cardiovascular rehabilitation Hasselt University
Interactive Tool for Visual Assessment & Rehabilitation HOWEST
IVART - Interactive Visual Assessment & Rehabilitation Tool Ghent University
In clinical (paediatric) ophthalmic practice, we are confronted daily with the limitations of currently available visual assessments and rehabilitation tools. We are facing difficulties in obtaining reliable vision testing results in children. However, early detection and treatment of multiple visual disorders are only effective during childhood. In order to make treatments available on the market for children, efficacy and safety of the ...
Innovative sports glove prototype for prevention and rehabilitation Ghent University
Within the Exoligamentz project, a supporting glove is being developed to minimize finger and hand injuries due to contact sports. The aim of this project is to build on an earlier StarTT project: select the most suitable materials and production methods for industrialization, further develop prototypes and test in low volumes, validate prototypes with end users in different sports, prepare a business model and go-to-market strategy. ...
Rehab-4-earlyOA: Mechanobiology-driven rehabilitation of early osteoarthritis through optimized multi-scale biomechanics KU Leuven
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a highly prevalent and disabling condition in which the normal joint function is impaired. It is a multi-factorial disease that primarily affects the articular cartilage and in which
mechanical factors have been reported to be key-factors Within this ID-N framework, we will lay the fundaments of a new approach towards treatment of
osteoarthritis by developing an innovative multi-scale monitoring platform ...
