Journal ArticleDOI
Nonlinear relationship between isokinetic muscle strength and activity limitations in patients with knee osteoarthritis: Results of the Amsterdam-Osteoarthritis cohort.
Lisa M Edelaar,Jaap H. van Dieën,Martin van der Esch,Leo D. Roorda,Joost Dekker,Willem F. Lems,Marike van der Leeden +6 more
TL;DR: In patients with knee osteoarthritis, relationships between muscle strength and activity limitations are non-linear and patients with muscle strength below the described thresholds might benefit more from muscle strength training to reduce limitations in daily activities than would patients with Muscle strength above the thresholds.
Book ChapterDOI
Balance Control in Older Adults
TL;DR: Methods based on questionnaires, functional tests of posture and movement, and advanced methods that quantify the ability to control or regain balance or the performance of specific subsystems of the balance control system are available to test balance control in older adults.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trunk stabilization during sagittal pelvic tilt: from trunk-on-pelvis to trunk-in-space due to vestibular and visual feedback.
TL;DR: Investigating the human ability to stabilize the trunk in space during pelvic tilt found that vestibular feedback is used when minimizing trunk sway but has only a minor contribution during natural trunk stabilization in the sagittal plane.
Journal ArticleDOI
Limited mechanical effects of intermuscular myofascial connections within the intact rat anterior crural compartment
TL;DR: The net effects found were very limited and it is concluded that myofascial connections between muscles in the anterior crural compartment have limited mechanical relevance during normal movement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measurement strategy and statistical power in studies assessing gait stability and variability in older adults.

TL;DR: This study provides the analysis tools and underlying data for power analyses in studies using gait parameters as an outcome of interventions aiming to reduce fall risk, and implies that large numbers of subjects are generally needed.
