To quantify muscle relaxation properties of fingerflexors using transcranial magnetic stimulation in patients with different myopathies to develop a screening diagnostic tool to assess who does (not) suffer from an underlying myopathy.
Primary objective:Evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and immunogenicity of multiple doses of intravenous (IV) ATYR1940 in adults 18 to 65 years of age, inclusive, with FSHDSecondary objective:Explore pharmacodynamic (PD)…
Gaining an objective insight in muscle fatigue during exercise for patients with FSHD by 1. comparing the timing of change in sEMG amplitude and sEMG median frequency, to gas exchange variables, heart rate, work load and blood lactate levels during…
By making this design study we wish to contribute to profound research on percutaneous gastrocnemius lengthening for for children with an equinus contracture and prevent publication bias for this open-labelled randomized trial.
The objective of this study is to determine the optimal myo-electric prosthesis training for obtaining the largest transfer effect. Here fore we plan to execute three experiments. At first it needs to be revealed which trainingtasks leads to the…
The objective of this study is to determine the surplus value of mental imagery on myo-electric prosthesis training Here fore we plan to execute two experiments. The goal of the first experiment is to test if intermanual transfer effects of able-…
The objectives of this study are:1) to quantify the muscle symptoms, muscle complaints, limitations in daily living, fatigue, mood disorders, and quality of life in patients with Brody's syndrome.2) determining the genetic background of Brody…
The primary objective is to compare the safety and efficacy of multiple doses of ABT-494 versus placebo in moderately to severely active RA subjects on stable background MTX therapy with inadequate response or intolerance to anti-TNF biologic…
The objective of this study is to establish the effects of transfer of learning in children with upper limb deficiencies after practising with an upper limb prosthetic simulator.In children, transfer of learning effects have hardly been studied. The…
2.1 Primary Objectives: 1) To test the feasibility of the six minute assisted leg and arm cycling test in patients aged 6-18 years with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), Beckers muscular dystrophy (BMD), Limb Girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD),…
To investigate whether children with OI who use a wheelchair (for long distances) can reliably perform a valid shuttle ride test in order to assess the levels of health-related fitness in this group.
To determine whether 3D arm training with arm-support is effective in delaying the loss of arm functions in daily activities from an early age onwards in boys with DMD.
The main objective of our research is to develop an FCE for use in one-handed individuals. The main objective of this part of the study is to gain descriptive data on muscle tension of the back, neck and shoulder, joint movements of the shoulder,…
The objective of this study is to determine the application of the prosthesis simulators and the bimanual transfer effects in the existing rehabilitation programs for patients who will obtain an upper limb prosthesis.At first it needs to be revealed…
Objective: This study aims to investigate, whether children with clubfeet are facing difficulties in daily life on activity*s and participation, two domains of the ICF, comparing to their age-mates without clubfeet.
Primary objective: • To assess the efficacy of 2 different dosing regimens of subcutaneous GSK2402968 administered over 24 weeks in ambulant subjects with DMD.Secondary objectives:• To assess the safety and tolerability of 2 different dosing…
To evaluate the effect of the bisphosphonate risedronate (together with vitamin D and calcium or vitamin D calicum and phosphate in patients with renal phosphate wasting) on bone pain and the evolution of osteolytic bone lesions in patients with FD.
The purpose of this study is to further unravel the genetic origin of these individual diseases and their relation at genes level.
To investigate whether parents of children with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis have a significantly different neutral upright sagittal alignment compared to adult volunteers whose offspring does not have adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
Aim of this study is measuring the effects of locoregional anaesthesia in EDS patients and comparing these effects with those in a healthy control group. The results of this study can be used to make a more valid choice for the type of anaesthesia…
