Doing reintegration? The quest of reintegration in Belgian sentence implementation Vrije Universiteit Brussel
In this paper we aim to achieve a better understanding of reintegration in Belgian sentence implementation.

Notwithstanding, we identify some barriers to ...
Adaptation and reintegration of proprioceptive information in young and older adults' postural control KU Leuven
We investigated age-related changes in adaptation and sensory reintegration in postural control without vision.

Participants stood on a stable platform ...
