A multifaceted approach to mapping positional sense in healthy persons and persons with cancer - Leuven, België - KU Leuven
Beschrijving
Useful skills (not required)
Position sense, the sense that provides information about a limb's position in space, allows us to interact with our environment. While cooking, a person can grab a box on his/her left side and move it to the other side without looking at the hands. Such an action seems very easy for healthy people but becomes problematic once the sense of position is affected. This is the case in people with neuropathies after chemotherapy treatment for cancer. The unconscious dropping of object, for example, is a sign that the sense of position is affected in those persons. Despite the awareness about the importance of positional sense in health and disease, a number of challenges remain to be answered before a proper theoretical framework on positional sense can be obtained. The absence of such a framework currently prevents proper evaluation and rehabilitation of positional sense, both in older adults and in persons with cancer. The aim of this project is to use a comprehensive task battery of sensory, motor and cognitive branches to lay the foundations for a new theoretical framework of positional sensation and apply it to age- and disease-related changes, such as after cancer.
The project is a collaboration between the departments of Movement Sciences (Prof. Jean-Jacques Orban de Xivry, ) and Rehabilitation Sciences at KU Leuven (Prof. An De Groef). The Movement Control and Neuroplasticity research group consists of a multidisciplinary team of international scientists from different scientific backgrounds. The research team follows an integrated behavioural and neuroscientific research strategy with a focus on experimental studies in motor control and training-induced neuroplasticity. In recent years, the group has increasingly focused on studying the neural basis of changes in motor performance across the life course or changes due to disease. The oncological rehabilitation research group focuses on prevention and treatment of mostly physical side effects of cancer treatment, in particular pain, sensory changes and shoulder pain.
