In this issue of Cell, Sparrow et al. propose a new mechanism for sporadically occurring congenital scoliosis in which Notch signaling and hypoxia converge in the embryo on somite patterning via the segmentation clock. This interaction between hypoxia and ...
Full explanation for the pathogenesis of syringomyelia (SM), a neuropathology characterized by the formation of a cystic cavity (syrinx) in the spinal cord (SC), has not yet been provided. It has been hypothesized that abnormal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pr ...
In this contribution we introduce novel dynamics model based on existing dynamics modeling approaches that allow detailed studies on the role of a compliant spine in quadruped locomotion. We use this model to address our key questions on locomotion control ...
In Europe, low back pain (LBP) affects the quality of life of up to 30% of the active population. Although the origin of LBP is not well identified and is probably not unique, epidemiological studies suggest that the severity of the disease is correlated w ...
Changes in turning are one of the early motor deficiencies in Parkinson's Disease (PD). We have proposed a system based on wearable, inertial sensors and a novel automatic analysis algorithm that can assess 180 degrees turns. Twelve patients in early stage ...
Spine growth and retraction with synapse formation and elimination plays an important role in shaping brain circuits during development and in the adult brain, yet the temporal relationship between spine morphogenesis and the formation of functional synaps ...
Virtual prototyping has become an important part during the product development process. The common way to let a user interact with the virtual prototype is the use of a three dimensional virtual mannequin that is controlled by the user. These human figure ...
Legged locomotion with spinal undulations is a topic that has not received much attention yet in robotics, though, vertebrates depend on both their limbs and spine to move efficiently in their environments. In this thesis, my aim is to get more insights in ...
Different visual stimuli have been shown to recruit different mental imagery strategies. However the role of specific visual stimuli properties related to body context and posture in mental imagery is still under debate. Aiming to dissociate the behavioura ...
