🚨 New publication: "Heart Rate Variability & Autonomic Dysfunction After Stroke: Prognostic Markers for Recovery" 🚨

🫀 While many know #HRV as a #recovery metric for athletes, our research reveals its profound #clinical implications for #stroke #patients.

[Toon de Beukelaar @ToondeBeuk]

🩺 Our review also addresses practical implementation challenges, from device selection to methodological standardization, making this research immediately applicable to clinical practice.

📢 “Don’t run before you can walk” 🚶

Our latest #systematic #review dives into neuromuscular connectivity (#NMC) - the interplay between brain (#EEG) and muscle (#EMG) signals - during walking.

[Toon de Beukelaar @ToondeBeuk]

We found that NMC reflects task complexity, distinguishes between healthy and impaired populations, and holds great promise for neurorehabilitation and gait technology.

👉 Next step? Let's Run! 🏃

🚴‍♀️ Win je de Ronde van Vlaanderen dankzij #AI?🥇
👉 Het peloton is volop bezig met #data en artificiële intelligentie in de #koers.

In #HetUurVanDeWaarheid bespreek ik met Dennis van den Buijs o.a.:

[Toon de Beukelaar @ToondeBeuk]

- de data-tsunami binnen de sport en in hoeverre AI ons hierin kan bijstaan
- of AI zou kunnen helpen de koers veiliger te maken
- de mentale en fysieke impact op renners door die overload aan data
- wat met aspecten die we nog niet kunnen meten
- ...
