Remco Baggen

Dr. Remco Baggen is a Researcher at the Faculty of Behavioural and Movement Sciences and the AMS - Musculoskeletal Health department at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. His research focuses on biomechanics, neuromuscular function, aging-related mobility, muscle physiology, and movement disorders. Key areas include muscle activity during weight-shifting, biomechanics of step ascent, and interventions to improve muscle strength in older adults.

Recent work emphasizes the impact of aging and dual-tasking on lower back muscle activity, validation of self-monitoring systems for muscle fatigability, and pharmacological effects on Parkinson's patients' balance. Collaborations span gerontology, biomedical engineering, and neurology.

His research outputs highlight trends in aging muscle dynamics, neuromuscular adaptation, and clinical applications of biomechanical analysis. No ancillary activities or awards are listed, but he actively contributes to peer-reviewed journals.
