Journal ArticleDOI
The Armeo Spring as training tool to improve upper limb functionality in multiple sclerosis: a pilot study
TL;DR: The results of present pilot study suggest that upper limb functionality of high-level disability MS patients can be positively influenced by means of a technology-enhanced physical rehabilitation program.
Journal ArticleDOI
Robot-supported upper limb training in a virtual learning environment : a pilot randomized controlled trial in persons with MS
Peter Feys,Karin Coninx,Lore Kerkhofs,Tom De Weyer,Veronik Truyens,Anneleen Maris,Ilse Lamers +6 more
TL;DR: Robot-supported training lead to more efficient movement execution which was however, on group level, not reflected by significant changes on standard clinical tests.
Journal ArticleDOI
Perceived and actual arm performance in multiple sclerosis: relationship with clinical tests according to hand dominance:
Ilse Lamers,Ilse Lamers,Lore Kerkhofs,Joke Raats,Daphne Kos,Bart Van Wijmeersch,Bart Van Wijmeersch,Peter Feys,Peter Feys +8 more
TL;DR: Real-life arm performance is decreased in wheelchair-bound MS patients and can be best predicted by measures on ‘body functions & structures’ level and fine motor control.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hand grip fatigability in persons with multiple sclerosis according to hand dominance and disease progression.
TL;DR: Fatigability of hand grip strength in persons with multiple sclerosis is not influenced by hand dominance or muscle strength, but there is a correlation with disease progression.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Assessment of upper limb motor function in patients with multiple sclerosis using the Virtual Peg Insertion Test: A pilot study
TL;DR: The preliminary results of a pilot study on the assessment of upper limb motor function in patients with multiple sclerosis with the Virtual Peg Insertion Test (VPIT) illustrate the feasibility of using the VPIT with MS patients, and underline the potential of this test to evaluate upper limbMotor function and discriminate characteristic MS related impairments.
