Muscle vibration, as a strong stimulus of muscle spindles, plays a central role in studying proprioception in his research team. A specific focus is on muscle characteristics, including activity, fatigability, quality (both back muscles and\u00a0inspiratory muscles), as a mechanism for a decreased proprioceptive control variability, and on the effects of a novel proprioceptive training program in patients with recurrent low back pain and in patients after (neuro-) surgery.<\/p>\n Exercise, Motor control, Muscle, Musculoskeletal rehabilitation, Low back pain, Physical therapy, Postural control, Proprioception, Rehabilitation sciences, Spinal disorders<\/p>\n Member of the Ethical Committee Research UZ\/ KU Leuven<\/p>\n Co-chair of the Ethical Review of Master’s Thesis Committee (OBC) Group Biomedical Sciences, KU Leuven<\/p>\n Member of the General Doctoral Thesis Committee FaBeR, KU Leuven<\/p>\n Member of the Erkenningscommissie van kinesitherapeuten (Agentschap Zorg en Gezondheid, Vlaamse Gemeenschap (Government Agency for Care and Health, Flanders)<\/p>\n Representative of Biomedical Sciences Regional Committee South-East Asia, KU Leuven<\/p>\n Member of The International Society for the Study of the Lumbar Spine<\/p>\n Member of International Society for Posture & Gait Research<\/p>\n Member of Society for Neuroscience<\/p>\n Contemporary art, photography, running, cycling<\/p>\n |
