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.
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 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…
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.
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.
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…
To what extent does the resistance to stretch of spastic muscles differ from that of non-spastic ones?Does tendon transfer affect a muscle*s functional capacity?
Primary Objective: to investigate whether the variation of the number of lumbar vertebrae in humans is coded by the same genes which are responsible for this as well as in other mammals.
Primary Objectives: 1. Determine novel pathogenic gene mutations in families with congenital upper limb anomalies by whole genome sequencing;2. Determine the contribution of these genes in embryonic development, including proliferation and cell…
The primary objective of the study is to examine muscle atrophy in fetuses with single or bilateral IPEV, in comparison to a normal population by measuring the circumference of the upper and lower legs by ultrasound examination. The length of the…
The primary aim of this study is to document with quantified measurements the natural history of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Several validated tools will be used to describe motor, orthopedic and respiratory functions, and quality of life along a 6…
Gaining an objective insight in muscle fatigue during exercise for patients with NMD by1. comparing the timing of change in sEMG amplitude and sEMG median frequency, to gas exchange variables, heart rate, work load, muscle strength, muscular…
The primary objective of the second part of the study, which is the focus of this application, is to perform a comparative analysis of the cognitive profile and MRI outcomes of DMD/BMD patients.
This study has been transitioned to CTIS with ID 2024-511492-15-00 check the CTIS register for the current data. Part 1:to evaluate the safety and tolerability of 2 doses (100 milligrams/kilogram [mg/kg] and 200 mg/kg) of eteplirsen in approximately…
Objectives for both the Treatment Period and Extension Period:Primary Objectives: - To assess safety and tolerability of the study medicine in patients with later onset (e.g., Type 2 and Type 3) spinal muscular atrophy (SMA)- To assess the efficacy…
Hoofddoel: We aim to assess the utility of ultrasound-defined contractile performance as a biomarker for monitoring disease progression and treatment effects in patients with FSHD.Stage I:Primary Objective:To establish the feasibility, optimal…
