Het onderzoek is onderdeel van het SURFfoundation project 'Open Onderzoek II'. Lectoren hebben hart voor hun zaak. Hun zaak is het verrijken van de wereld met kennis. Het belang van het vrij beschikbaar maken van onderzoeksresultaten wordt door vele lectoren onderschreven ― blijkt uit dit onderzoek ― en een aantal pleit zelfs voor een revolutie om dit te realiseren! Net zoals kunst eigenlijk niet acht jaar in de kast van het gesloten Stedelijk Museum zou mogen worden opgesloten, zo mogen publicaties van lectoraten niet achter de deuren van uitgeverijen verdwijnen. Het vereist lef om dit te voorkomen. Lef van de auteur om eisen te stellen aan de uitgevers. Lef om brutaal en ‘burgerlijk ongehoorzaam’ te zijn.

This article discusses the importance of fully integrating research activities into the Bachelor level programs (undergraduate programs) in orthopaedic engineering / prosthetics and orthotics. To work according to evidence based principles and acquire the competences to do so it is necessary for students to engage in research activities from within the educational programme as soon as possible. Involvement in research not only creates more insight in what research means and what the effects are, but also generates a number of cross links with the stakeholders involved in P&O education (see fig 1) which were not apparent before for the student. Also, the interaction with orthopaedic companies is stimulated in a broader context than is traditionally the case. A structure enhancing the interaction of educational institution, companies, research groups and institutions is presented which operates at the intersection of these stakeholders. A whole new world is therefore coming into range which will generate all kinds of new and unexplored opportunities.

Continuing physical therapy at home can be stressful, challenging and unmotivating, especially for children. Researchers and students from the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences, Utrecht University, Eindhoven University of Technology, University of Twente and partners (Ijsfontein external link, Roessingh Rehabilitation Centre external link, Phillips Research external link) are researching how to design smart toys with self-adaptive play complexity to motivate children with cerebral palsy (CP) to continue hand therapy at home. The Magic Monster prototype was presented during the Dutch Design Week 2022 as a part of the Embassy of Health exhibition.
