hours per week
Job description
------------------------------
The PhD position at the BME group will be mainly focused on the assessment
of impairments of the upper extremities following stroke using previous
developed robotic exoskeletons, and electrophysiological measures. At the
end of the project (s)he will have developed and evaluated a battery of
tests that gives a complete picture of sensory motor disorders due to stroke
and relate different impairments to functional disabilities. This will give
us a better insight into the consequences and progress of stroke and will
make it possible to monitor the effect of different treatments on multiple
levels. The PhD position at the BME will work closely with the PhD. students
at RRD and the Sint Maartens kliniek . The PhD students will work with
stroke patients and have to collaborate with (para)medici. The supervision
of both the PhD positions at RRD and the BME will be a joint effort of both
groups.

Organization
------------------------------
University of Twente
Biomechanical Engineering group
Sharing knowledge, working together, research, innovation. It is all part of
the only campus university in the netherlands: the University of Twente
(UT). A university with an international character. We have for example many
foreign doctoral students, and master programmes are provided in english.
Divided over 5 faculties, we provide more than 50 bachelor and master
programmes, varying from applied physics and public administration to
applied communication science and biomedical technology. In beautiful green
surroundings, more than 8000 students and 2700 staff live, work and recreate
at the UT. It is also a place where talented people get every opportunity to
perform cutting edge research. But as an entrepreneurial university this is
not all we do. In 'Kennispark', for example, we work together with the
business community, we support our students in setting up their own
businesses and participate in many projects in the area of knowledge
development. In brief, a dynamic climate in which to work and study.
The faculty of Engineering Technology has about 270 employees and 1500
students and consists of four departments: Civil Engineering, Industrial
Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Sustainable Energy Technology. The
new group Multi Scale Mechanics is part of the Mechanical Engineering
department, with research in the areas of multi-scale fluid- and
solid-mechanics, micro-macro approaches, particle and contact mechanics,
micro-fluidics, and self-healing materials.
Research of the UT is organized in 6 spearhead institutes, including the
Institute for Biomedical Technology (BMTi). This interdepartmental institute
hosts more than 250 researchers from the field of physics, electrical
engineering, construction technology and (bio)-chemical technology. It is
recognised world-wide as a leading institute in this multi-disciplinary
field of science, where engineering concepts and methods are employed to
solve and understand medical and biological problems. The main areas of
interest are human function technology and tissue engineering.
The research program of The Biomechanical Engineering (BME) group is
focussed on the human locomotor apparatus, from diagnosis training to the
construction of supportive devices. The medical application areas are
rehabilitation, orthopaedics and neurology.
In the BME group one PhD position and is available, which is part of the
VIRTUROB project that is a 'pieken in de delta' proposal, which aims to
exploit robotic devices and virtual reality in the assessment and training
of neurological disorders. The project is a follow up project of the active
rehabilitation project (http://www.actieverevalidatie.nl/) and is a
collaboration between the University of Twente, Roessingh Researrch and
Development, the Sint Maartens Kliniek, Baat Medical Engineering, and
ReLion.
