Bimanual performance and life balance one year after stroke. Assessment, evolution and prognosis KU Leuven
Stroke remains one of the leading causes of disability with loss of independency for daily activities as a long-term consequence. The vast majority of daily activities demand the use of both hands working together. Up to 85% of stroke survivors present with upper limb impairment, which may compromise bimanual performance. To date, the vast majority of studies focus on unimanual recovery and provides scarce knowledge about recovery and ...

Industrial Academic Initial Training Network towards specific diagnosis and treatment of age-related gait and balance deficits KU Leuven
Balance and gait deficits are ubiquitous among the older population, and lead to enormous personal, occupational and health care burden. Emerging pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions to date have only small to moderate effects on these deficits. This is likely due to remaining fundamental questions on underlying mechanisms and treatment. The present project Keep Control consists of a rare EU-wide combination of experts from ...

Training postural and gait balance control in children with Cerebral Palsy: associations between brain structural metrics and motor behavior Ghent University
When an injury occurs to the developing brain, as in Cerebral Palsy (CP), children experience deficits
in motor control. Poor postural control is a primary deficit in CP with a large impact on a child’s daily
life, since it is crucial for gait and, thus, greatly affects the risk of falls. To improve their quality of
life, adequate treatment is essential. However, the success of treatment greatly depends on the
knowledge of ...
