BelRAI Rehabilitation: evaluation of interRAI rehabilitation instruments for use in rehabilitation in Flanders KU Leuven
There is a strong link between BelRAI and the International Classification of Functioning (ICF). Together with Ghent University, LUCAS developed a BelRAI instrument that also operationalizes ICF for adults in rehabilitation care in Flanders.
We test: (1) content validity, (2) the extent to which the instrument represents the bio-psycho-social ICF model, and (3) the conditions for implementation of the instrument.
Gait rehabilitation needs a hand: the inclusion of arm movements in gait rehabilitation training for patients with Cerebral Palsy. KU Leuven
We will investigate whether children with unilateral Cerebral Palsy (CP) are able to intentionally increase arm swing on the hemiplegic side and if there are non-invasive ways to optimize the increase of the swing amplitude by providing auditory feedback. Of particular interest is the effect of this short term training on the gait pattern. Secondly we will evaluate the integrity of brain white matter connections in order to find the neural ...
Adaptive Rehabilitative Gaming Systems for Powered Mobility Training in People with Complex Movement Disorders (ADA Games) KU Leuven
Rehabilitation Sciences, Bruges Campus, Distributed and Secure Software (DistriNet), Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)
Wheelchair skills training is an important step toward independent mobility and improved quality of life for people with disabilities. Considering the group of young people with complex movement disorders as dyskinetic cerebral palsy (DCP), this process is particularly challenging due to the need for specialized wheelchair control equipment, and requires lengthy and tedious training routines. In this project, we develop a novel game-based ...
Rehabilitative ultrasound imaging (rusi) in the physical evaluation of shoulder pain patients. University of Antwerp
University of Malaga, Movement Antwerp (MOVANT)
The main aim of the project is to study the importance of acromiohumeral distance (AHD) and coracohumeral distance (CHD) in patients with chronic shoulder pain, and establish a comparison with people free of chronic shoulder pain. Shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS) is frequently related to a decrease of acromio-humeral distance (AHD), known like one of the extrinsic factor presented as possible cause for Shoulder Pain Syndrome (SPS). The ...
Person-centered rehabilitation from a marketing perspective Hasselt University
Person Centeredness (PEC) in healthcare implies being responsive to a person's unique wishes and needs. It acknowledges that each patient should be recognized as a unique human being with unique wishes and needs. This uniqueness is not limited to the patient as an ill person, but PEC focuses on the uniqueness of the whole person. Although rehabilitation services and providers recognize PEC as an integral part of the quality of rehabilitation ...

Quality indicators for inter- and multidisciplinary rehabilitation Hasselt University
A cornerstone of enhancing inter- and multidisciplinary rehabilitation involves the combination of evidence-based practice and evidencebased implementation. To evaluate the success of implementation, it is imperative to identify and select relevant quality indicators for rehabilitation. Quality indicators provide insight into the quality of care based on the performance data of health care professionals. Measurement through quality indicators is ...
