2. Applications of the Virtual Holonomic Constraints Approach : Analysis of Human Motor Patterns and Passive Walking Gaits
Abstract : In the field of robotics there is a great interest in developing strategies and algorithms to reproduce human-like behavior. One can think of human-like machines that may replace humans in hazardous working areas, perform enduring assembly tasks, serve the elderly and handicapped, etc. READ MORE

3. Drum sound from floor coverings - objective and subjective assessment
Abstract : Drum sound is the sound produced when an object, such as a foot, hits the flooring in the room in which the receiving ear is located. Drum sound has attracted interest in recent years, particularly due to an increased use of thin floating floor constructions, such as veneer or laminate flooring, which can produce loud and sharp walking sound.

4. Space in motion : the art of activating space in-between
Abstract : As a contribution to the emerging field of practice-based research in the arts, this thesis aims to activate space, experience and the concept in-between. As the in-between cannot be defined ahead of the rhythmic process it carries out and of which it is a part – a rhythm inherent in the city itself and in knowledge production – it is necessary to produce rhythmic relations between bodies, sites and concepts.

5. Feasibility and efficacy of incorporating an exoskeleton in gait training during subacute stroke rehabilitation
Abstract : Introduction: Hemiparesis is the most common acute manifestation of stroke and often has a strong negative impact on walking ability leaving one third of patients dependent in walking activities outside one’s home. Improved methods for training of gait during stroke rehabilitation could tackle the challenge of achieving independent walking and promote better outcomes. READ MORE
