Research in Action: Students' Perspectives on the Integration of Research Activities in Undergraduate Biomedical Curricula

Contains fulltext : 232188.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access)We describe and evaluate our practice-based learning approach for research in undergraduate students studying Biomedical Sciences at Radboud University Nijmegen, the Netherlands. First-year students who started their study between 2015 and 2018 actively participated in data collection and measurements, including anthropometry, electrocardiogram findings, genetic variants, and lifestyle habits. All data were entered into one anonymous database, which was used by students to analyze their research questions. In 2019, 44 of the 87 students (50%) valued active measurements better than questionnaires. Most students (strongly) agreed that they have learned about data collection and were inspired to learn more about biomedical research

Carpal bone kinematics and ligament lengthening studied for the full range of joint movement

Present data on carpal kinematics and carpal ligament behaviour are limited to flexion and deviation movements of the hand. These motions do not represent all the wrist-joint motions which are important for the activities of daily living. The goal of this project was to obtain insight into carpal kinematics and carpal ligament behaviour during motions of the hand covering the full range of motion of the wrist joint. The carpals and the ligaments of 4 wrist-joint specimens were provided with radiopaque markers. These joints were subjected to Rontgenstereophotogrammetric experimentation in a large number of hand positions to determine carpal positions and ligament lengths. The movements or the carpal bones were described by means of finite helical axes. It was found that the movements of the carpals in the distal row closely resemble those of the hand. Conversely, the motions of the carpals of the proximal row appeared not to be directly proportional to the hand motions and exhibited clear out-of-plane movements. Furthermore, it could be shown that movements of the hand into the ulnodorsal quadrant of the full range of hand motion corresponds to larger helical rotations and translations for most of the carpals than when the hand was moved into any other quadrant. The maximal ligament length changes determined did not exceed the length changes reported for pure flexion and pure deviation movements of the han
