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…
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…
