The purpose of this study will be to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of a multifocal SMR treatment on pain and stiffness compared to ECC in active recreational runners with self-reported Achilles tendon complaints.Research question: Is a 12-…
To conduct a randomised controlled trial to determine differences in outcomes of the TT and AMP ACL reconstruction techniques by means of MRI signal SI of the ACL graft. Secondly, differences in clinical, functional and patient-oriented outcomes of…
The objective of the study is to find answers on the research question: does activation of descending nociceptive inhibitory mechanisms via central pain medication lead to changes in kinematic and/or muscular changes in shoulder function?
To determine the effect of the adjuvant application of PRP after NACD on pain reduction, recovery of shoulder function, tendon recovery, resorption of calcific deposits, the percentage of patients with persistent complains and quality of life. The…
Primary Objective: To study the effect of PNT and structured physiotherapy on function and pain of patients with lateral epicondylalgia.Secondary Objectives: To study the effect of PNT and structured physiotherapy on quality of life, patient…
To optimize the management of non-chronic shoulder pain in primary care by the introduction of ultrasound as a diagnostic triage tool. The following research questions will be addressed:1. What are the effects of diagnostic ultrasound and its…
test the hypothesis that the application of PRP leads to faster wound healing, less wound healing disorders, less pain and faster functional recovery after subacromial surgery.
The evaluate which treatment of mallet fingers is better, the conventional mallet therapy via the hospital or the personalized treatment with intensive follow up via the handencentrum. This will be investigated for mallet fingers caused by an…
This study is designed to compare the treatment of 2 groups: autologous tenocytes injection in combination with exercises versus saline injection in combination with exercises.
The main objective of this study is to compare the femur tunnel positioning after AMP, TLS and TT reconstruction techniques. We will also look at the relation between tunnel positioning and tunnel widening.
The objective of this study is to evaluate if overload eccentric training on a flywheel ergometer, guided by a physiotherapist, is an appropriate training for athletes with patellar tendinopathy to reduce pain and a faster return to sport. The pain…
The effects of cross-education on loss of muscle strength and knee function after ACL reconstruction
Primary Objective:The aim is to compare the effects of rehab with standard care vs. standard care plus XED on loss of muscle strength and function in the operated limb at the end of phase I rehab after ACL reconstruction surgery.
To investigate the (cost) effectiveness of early ACL reconstruction (<6 weeks after injury), compared to the usual timing of ACL reconstruction (> 3 months after injury). Hypotheis is that early ACL reconstruction results in less loss…
The effectiveness of PRP treatment in patients suffering from chronic lateral epicondylitis is still ambiguous. Therefore we study PRP treatment in a double blind randomized controlled trial in a homogeny patient population with respect to duration…
