Abstract Aims The aim of the study was to investigate reliability a scoring system for investigation voluntary and reflex co‐contractions abdominal pelvic floor muscles in lying, sitting, standing positions continent incontinent women. Methods A visual inspection digital (strength, tone, speed, endurance) palpation scale developed measure coordination lower muscles. Inter‐observer scales investigated 40 Differences between group were analysed. Results showed kappa values 0.91 1.00, tone...
Impaired muscle activation may predispose subjects to develop chronic ankle instability. It has been suggested that impairments are found not only in structures around the injured but also more proximal joint complexes.Subjects with instability were expected show later onset times for lower limb and trunk when compared control subjects. They less variability patterns group.Controlled laboratory study.Thirty 10 participated study. The of activity 14 muscles was measured during transition from...
Purpose As drop vertical jumps (DVJ) are widely used as a screening task, the assessment of reliability lower-limb biomechanical parameters during DVJ is important. The aim this study was to assess kinematic and kinetic peak values well waveforms for obtained with Liverpool John Moores University model (LJMU model) performance DVJ. Methods analyzed by calculating intertrial (otrial), intersession (osess), intertherapist (other) errors hip knee joint in repeated-measures design including two...
Purpose : Machine learning may contribute to understanding the relationship between external load and internal in professional soccer. Therefore, indicators (ELIs) rating of perceived exertion (RPE) was examined using machine techniques on a group individual level. Methods Training data were collected from 38 soccer players over 2 seasons. The measured global positioning system technology accelerometry. obtained RPE. Predictive models constructed techniques, artificial neural networks least...
Summary: A prospective randomized study was set up, comparing a compression hip screw with the Vandeputte (VDP) endoprosthesis treatment for fresh, unstable peritrochanteric fractures, according to Evans-Jensen and AO systems. Ninety patients, ages ≥70 years, 47 of whom were treated 43 VDP endoprosthesis, included. All patients being followed 3 months. No difference between two groups found operating time, wound complications, mortality rate, but there higher transfusion need in treatment....
Purpose : Functional improvement after stroke has been related to the intensity of treatment. The present study was set up observe how patients spend their time in a rehabilitation unit. Method Behavioural mapping performed throughout full working day Belgian and Swiss Results Patients were most frequently involved therapeutic activities, 28% Belgium 45% Switzerland. Physiotherapy accounted for majority therapy time. spent 27% own room 49% day. striking finding that nearly 1.5 hours per more...
Over the past few years concerns have been rising about use of Evidence-Based Practice (EBP). We explored obstacles among Belgian physiotherapists to implementation EBP in clinical work. used a qualitative research strategy based on five focus groups, organised between October 2004 and May 2005. Purposeful sampling was recruit 43 participants from diverse geographical regions Flanders, working different settings with variety interest expertise EBP. Data collection analysis were concurrent...
Background The aim of this study was to identify groups subjects with similar patterns forefoot loading and verify if specific patients diabetes could be isolated from non-diabetics. Methodology/Principal Findings Ninety-seven 33 control participants between 45 70 years were prospectively recruited in two Belgian Diabetic Foot Clinics. Barefoot plantar pressure measurements recorded subsequently analysed using a semi-automatic total mapping technique. Kmeans cluster analysis applied on...
