Smorenburg, Ana R. P.; Ledebt, Annick; Deconinck, Frederik J. A.; Savelsbergh, Geert J. P. – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2012
This study examined the arm position sense in children with Spastic Hemiparetic Cerebral Palsy (SHCP) and typically developing children (TD) by means of a contralateral matching task. This task required participants to match the position of one arm with the position of the other arm for different target distances and from different starting…

Barela, Jose A.; Focks, Grietje M. Jaspers; Hilgeholt, Toke; Barela, Ana M. F.; Carvalho, Raquel de P.; Savelsbergh, Geert J. P. – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2011
The aim of this study was to examine the coupling between visual information and body sway and the adaptation in this coupling of individuals with cerebral palsy (CP). Fifteen children with and 15 without CP, 6-15 years old, were required to stand upright inside of a moving room. All children first performed two trials with no movement of the room…

Smorenburg, Ana R. P.; Ledebt, Annick; Deconinck, Frederik J. A.; Savelsbergh, Geert J. P. – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2011
This study examined the active joint-position sense in children with Spastic Hemiparetic Cerebral Palsy (SHCP) and the effect of static visual feedback and static mirror visual feedback, of the non-moving limb, on the joint-position sense. Participants were asked to match the position of one upper limb with that of the contralateral limb. The task…

Feltham, Max G.; Ledebt, Annick; Deconinck, Frederik J. A.; Savelsbergh, Geert J. P. – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2010
The study examined the effects of mirror feedback information on neuromuscular activation during bimanual coordination in eight children with spastic hemiparetic cerebral palsy (SHCP) and a matched control group. The "mirror box" creates a visual illusion, which gives rise to a visual perception of a zero lag, symmetric movement between the two…

van Doorn, Hemke; van der Kamp, John; Savelsbergh, Geert J. P. – Neuropsychologia, 2007
The present study examines the contributions of vision for perception processes in action. To this end, the influence of allocentric information on different action components (i.e., the selection of an appropriate mode of action, the pre-planning and online control of movement kinematics) is assessed. Participants (n = 10) were presented with a…

te Velde, Arenda F.; van der Kamp, John; Savelsbergh, Geert J. P. – British Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2008
We investigated age-related differences in a dynamic collision avoidance task that bears a resemblance to pedestrian road crossing. Five- to seven-year-old children, ten- to twelve-year-old children and adults were instructed to push a doll across a small-scale road between two toy vehicles, which approached one after the other. We analysed the…

Lobo, Michele A.; Galloway, James C.; Savelsbergh, Geert J. P. – Child Development, 2004
The effects of 2 weeks of no, general, and task-related enhanced movement experiences on 8- to 12-week-old infants' (N=30) hand and foot interactions with objects were assessed using standard video and motion analysis. For hand object interaction ability, general and task experience led to greater success than did no experience, and task…
