To investigate the acceptability and feasibility of exercise therapy in an aquatic environment by patients after burn injury.
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 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.
To provide evidence for the efficacy of Branched Chain Keto Acids (BCKA) and Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA) when compared with milk proteins to stimulate postprandial muscle protein synthesis in vivo in healthy older humans.
(I) Compare shoulder loads estimated with musculoskeletal simulations, stability and associated muscular effort of subjects with FSHD and healthy controls during the performance of standardized upper extremity tasks with and without an arm support…
Primary Objective: This study aims to analyze cycling gross efficiency, pedalling power symmetry, and hip, knee, ankle kinematics in adults with a transtibial amputation in different foot positions and seat heightsSecondary Objective(s): The second…
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…
Objective: we aim to achieve a better understanding of the effect of age on NPE and MRI changes in the adult DMD patients and hypothesize that the cerebral growth curves have an altered trajectory.
to determine the feasibility, repeatability and sensitivity of our newly developed non-invasive dynamic MR acquisitions to study muscle contractile function and muscle oxidative capacity during dynamic exercise. Muscle oxidative capacity will be…
