Stellingen behorende bij het proefschrift Assessment of Impaired Coordination in Children
1. In patients with early onset ataxia, abnormal gait helps significantly in the recognition of mild ataxic phenotypes ― (This thesis)
2. In children with impaired coordination, movement sensors are capable to distinguish abnormal gait from normal gait ― (This thesis)
3. Children with a genetic early onset ataxia are likely to reveal impaired coordination in more than one domain of the SARA scale ― (This thesis)
4. Impaired coordination in children includes the whole range of immature coordination, hypotonia and hypo-active muscle activation, developmental coordination disorder and ataxia ― (This thesis)
5. Interpretation of SARA scores using age-related reference values is of great value. Nonetheless, caution is warranted in the interpretation of SARA scores in ataxic children below 8 years of age ― (This thesis)
6. In patients with early onset ataxia, concurrent comorbidities such as muscle weakness and myoclonus may influence the interpretation of ataxia rating scale scores ― (This
thesis)
7. Just because we can not always prove a hypothesis does not mean that we can not or should not think about it ― Vladimir Janda
8. When life gives you lemons, make lemonade ― Elbart Hubbart 9. Onderzoekt alles en behoudt het goede ― Paulus uit Tarsus
10. Het lied hoofd-schouders-knie en teen heeft op het eerste gezicht niet veel met dit proefschrift te maken, maar als je het puntje van je neus niet kunt raken heb je mogelijk wel last van ataxie.
