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.
The primary goals of this study are to: i. Identify genetic variations responsible for PLP across the whole genomeMore than 90% of SNPs are found in introns or intergenic regions and most of them are probably of little functional consequence.…
The aim of this study is to evaluate the quality of the cartilage of repaired defects 20-25 years after perichondrium transplantation (PT) or autologous chondrocyte translantation (ACT). Secondary objectives are to review the functionality and pain…
Primary objective of this study is to assess the reliability, validity, and diagnostic value of the neuromechanical parameters of joint impedance estimated by nonlinear SIPE technology in patients with a spastic paresis.
1. To explore the validity and usefulness of Bone Microindentation Technique (BMT) in the assessment of bone quality in patients with osteoporosis and a spectre of bone diseases characterised with (localised) increased bone turnover. 2. To study the…
1. The primary objective is to evaluate the characteristics of the distal radial growth plate on MRI (including functional imaging techniques) and on conventional radiographs in young gymnasts with wrist pain, compared to young gymnasts without…
To determine the prevalence of posttraumatic osteoarthritis following a PLD-PLFDs in a cohort of young non-osteoporotic patients and correlation with objective and subjective outcome measures.
To assess functional outcome and using gait analysis to quantify kinematic and kinetic abnormalities of servicemen who suffered foot injuries due to combat actions.
