To assess the clinical and cost effectiveness of the anterior approach, compared to the conventional posterolateral approach for THA in terms of physical functioning and health-related quality of life
To investigate the acceptability and feasibility of exercise therapy in an aquatic environment by patients after burn injury.
Primary Objective: Compare grip strength of working patients with OAH with healthy workers.Secondary Objective(s): To compare the results of the supplementary tests of working patients with OAH with healthy workers.To describe the possible…
The overall objective of the study is to quantify age-related changes in biomechanics and neural control of hand motor control and finger independence. Therefore, we will determine the finger interdependency during various finger tasks in terms of…
To investigate whether the CVS patients show the muscle membrane disturbances, as the FMS patients do. That is, are there muscle conduction velocities disturbances in the CVS patients?
In this study we want to investigate if relaxation time (RT) measured by handgrip myometry and muscle- elastography is a reliable outcome measurement for the quantification of myotonia in NDM patients. Mean RT values en standard deviations of NDM…
In this study we want to investigate if the muscle-relaxation time (muscle-RT), calculated from force profiles obtained with two different experimental methods (1) voluntary handgrip- and (2) peripheral nerve stimulation myometry, is a reliable and…
Primary Objectives:1: Gain insight in the way arm function changes during the natural course of DMD through 3D movement analysis, surface electromyography and ambulant activity monitoring.2: Investigate if a newly developed exoskeleton is able to…
The objective of this study is to investigate whether impaired balance control is (partly) responsible for the increased energy cost of walking in stroke patients and amputees by evaluating the effect of external stabilization and destabilization on…
First, we investigate the attention-bias for pain signals that chronic pain patients (CPP) are suggested to have. Second, we investigate whether the chronicity of pain is related to faster learning and slower *unlearning* of new associations between…
Primary aim of the study: to compare the preservation of the correction of hallux valgus angle by means of a Chevron osteotomy with postoperative immobilisation by means of a plaster cast or a removable walking boot, one year following surgery.…
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,…
To evaluate the reproducibility of the SvdH score (BE and JSN of one hand) of radiographs taken with a mould compared to conventionally acquired images.
The aim of this study is to explore the value and added value of a wrist unit that can be put in a flexion position (Flex-wrist, Otto Bock ®) and a wrist unit that can not only be put in a flexion position but can also move freely in a neutral…
Goal of this study is to determine if high-field sodium-MRI can be used as:1) a sensitive, in vivo, and non-invasive biomarker to diagnose OA in an early stage and 2) as a method to follow the progression of OA and to monitor the effect of new…
This will be a pilot study that aims to gain insight into the effect of Gaucher disease on bone metabolism. For this purpose we formulated the following research questions:What is the effect of inflammatory factors in the serum of patients with…
The objective of the studie is to develop a reliable and discriminative measurment protocol to determine the upper extremity function in boys with DMD. This measurement protocol will be based on 3D movement analysis and surface EMG measurements.
The study aims to examine whether the emotions anger and sadness influence pain and fatigue in female patients with fibromyalgia and a control group from the general population and whether physiological reactivity and individual differences in…
This study aims to gain insight into the effect of inflammatory factors on bone metabolism. For this purpose we formulated the following research questions:1. Which circulating inflammatory factors play a central role in the pathogenesis of general…
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.
