We start from the observation that agreement metrics are mainly used in group and organization research for methodological reasons only. Therefore, we think there are many missed opportunities to study within-group agreement and consensus as core theoretical concepts in group and organization management. We muse in this article about opportunities ...
INTRODUCTION: Facial scanning through smartphone scanning applications (SSA) is increasingly being used for medical applications as cost-effective, chairside method. However, clinical validation is lacking. This review aims to address: (1) Which SSA could perform facial scanning? (2) Which SSA can be clinically used? (3) Which SSA have been reporte...
AIM: To identify the short-term effects of selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) on gait and clinical impairments in children with bilateral spastic cerebral palsy (CP) and subgroups based on baseline gait patterns. METHOD: Eighty-nine children with bilateral spastic CP (55 males, mean age [SD] before SDR: 9 years 5 months [2 years 3 months]; Gross Moto...
BACKGROUND: Drop foot is common post-stroke, elevating fall risks and mobility limitations. It is caused by weakness and lack of control of the tibialis anterior muscle (TA), for which various rehabilitation treatments are used. A reliable objective estimate of changes in TA muscle morphology and composition can enhance treatment optimization. OBJE...
Estimates of intergenerational educational mobility are generally computed using a combination of self- and proxy-reports of one's and one's parents' education. Such reports are easily collected, offering a cost-effective alternative to collecting multiple self-reports or register data. However, the bias that proxy-reports could introduce in the me...
OBJECTIVES: The reported prevalence of adenomyosis ranges widely due to different study populations, diagnostic tests and criteria. Categorizing the severity of disease may prove important. This study aims to develop a semi-quantifiable sonographic method to grade the severity of adenomyosis and assess the feasibility and interobserver reliability ...
BACKGROUND: Health-related Quality of Life (HRQOL) and its relation with functional vision is understudied in cerebral visual impairment (CVI). AIMS: Characterising HRQOL, comparing child self- and parent proxy-reports, and exploring relations with functional vision. METHODS AND PROCEDURES: Seventy-three children with CVI (n females = 33; n males =...
BACKGROUND: Boys with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) experience both fine and gross motor problems. Nowadays, early intervention focuses almost exclusively on gross motor skills. AIMS: We aimed to explore early motor development in preschool boys with DMD and investigate the influence of cognition. METHODS AND PROCEDURES: Seventeen boys with DMD...
BACKGROUND: Young adult suicidality is worldwide a prevalent mental health problem and the number one cause of death, with devastating consequences for individuals and their families, and substantial economic costs. However, psychological and pharmacological treatments currently recommended in guidelines for treatment of high-risk youth for fatal s...
