Spierstructuur, spierzwakte en krachttraining: een complexe driehoek voor kinderen met spastische cerebrale parese
Year: 2022
Type: dissertation
Abstract: This PhD is a part of a multicentre FWO-TBM project which aims to develop a clinical decision-making framework based on comprehensive assessment of muscle and tendon architecture in children with cerebral palsy. The focus of this PhD project is on developing a treatment algorithm for strength interventions. This will be achieved by creating an integrated evaluation protocol to quantify the different components of muscle and tendon morphology for clinical health professionals. The protocol will be used to establish prediction models of strength training effects based on morphological muscle and tendon properties (MMT), through which treatment algorithms, enriched by clinical expert knowledge, can be developed. These Treatment Algorithms based on Muscle and Tendon Architecture (TAMTA) will eventually guide patient-specific selection of rationalized treatments.
