Curriculum Vitae
Nienke Wolterbeek was born on March 15, 1981 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
After graduating from the ‘Spinoza Lyceum’ in Amsterdam in 1999 she started her Human Movement Science studies in 2000 at the ‘Vrije Universiteit’ of Amsterdam.
She specialized in Human Movement in the context of Rehabilitation. Her Master’s project at the Motion Lab of the VU Medical Center was a joint effort between the Department of Orthopaedics of the Leiden University Medical Center and the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine of the VU Medical Center under supervision of dr. ir. J. Harlaar, dr. C.A.M. Doorenbosch and dr. E.H. Garling.
After graduation in 2004, she began to work as a junior researcher at the Motion Lab of the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine of the VU Medical Center. In 2006 she started a Ph.D.-project at the Biomechanics and Imaging Group at the Department of Orthopaedics at the Leiden University Medical Center (Head: prof. dr. R.G.H.H.
Nelissen). This Ph.D.-project was part of the European DeSSOS-project. The objective of the DeSSOS-project was to develop decision support software for orthopaedic surgery so as to reduce variability in surgical outcome and maximise the longevity of orthopaedic devices and in particular, total knee replacements.
After finishing her Ph.D.-project, she started working as research coordinator at the Department of Orthopaedics at the St. Antonius Hospital in Nieuwegein and Utrecht.
Acknowledgements
I would like to express my gratitude to the head of the Department of Orthopaedics of Leiden University Medical Center, Prof. Rob Nelissen and my supervisors Eric Garling and Edward Valstar. Their encouragement, patience, guidance and support from the start to the end helped me in all aspects of research and in writing this thesis.
During this work I have collaborated with many colleagues for whom I have great regard, and I wish to extend my warmest thanks to all those who have helped me with my work. Among others, Enrike, Huub, Bart Kaptein, Sander van Berloo and Bart Mertens. Special thanks to Dirk Zweers and Richard Baks from the Department of Radiology for their essential assistance in performing all the patient measurements and for staying late all those evenings.
I could not have done this without all the patients who voluntary participated in the studies. They had to come to the hospital for several extra visits in the evenings or weekends and the visits took more than an hour each time. Moreover, they had to bear me shaving their legs, fixing all kinds of equipment on them, and pushing them to perform the tasks exactly how I wanted them. So, thank you all for doing this!
I would like to thank my fellow Ph.D.-colleagues, especially the pioneers of J9;
Andr´e, Peter, Bouke, Daniel and Simone, who spiced up the working place with their stories and nonsense. But also Frans, Franc¸ois, Anika, C¸iˇgdem, Sietske, Emiel and Gert for the many distractions, conversations and gossip. I enjoyed your company.
Special thanks goes to Andr´e Prins for all his help during this work, helping me with the measurements and making my life a lot easier with his automated fluo software!
And also special thanks goes to Gert for his time and knowledge making the cover.

I would like to thank all the DeSSOS partners. Prof. Mark Taylor, thank you for giving me the opportunity to come and stay in Southampton for a research visit. Dr.
Lucy Knight, Duncan Crump and Peter Worsley thank you for making me feel at home.
I also thank my friends for all the movies-nights, game-nights, and all the other entertainment. My special thanks goes to my ‘paranimfen’ Caroline Doorenbosch and Onno Manck. I am glad you are standing beside me during this important day.
Last but not least, I would like to thank my parents Wouter and Els and the rest of my family, Maaike, Jelle, Ren´e, Daan, Beg¨um and my boyfriend Harm-Jan for supporting me throughout this work and throughout my life.
