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…
To study HPA axis regulation and sympathetic nervous system activity in survivors of childhood ALL during relaxation and during stress.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the clinical effectiveness of a self management group intervention for stroke patients with social reintegration problems and their partners compared to a control group education intervention. The main…
The aim of this prospective study is to elucidate whether copeptin could be used as a marker for prognosis and severity of aSAH in a Dutch intensive care population?
The aim of the proposed *proof-of-principle* study is to assess the feasibility and (preliminary) effectiveness of a newly developed 5-week perturbation-based training program using the Radboud Falls Simulator (RFS) on dynamic balance capacity in…
The goal of this project is to gain deeper understanding of the role of lexical connectivity on word finding difficulties in aphasia during recovery in spontaneous speech, through an investigation of age of acquisition, an investigation of the…
The overall aim of this study is to investigate the pathophysiology of ICH by investigating intracerebral hemorrhage in HCHWA-D patients. By investigating triggers for ICH, hematoma expansion, recurrence rate and outcome in HCHWA-D related ICH we…
No studies concerning the relation between energy expenditure and balance control in stroke patients during dynamic conditions are published so far. Therefore, the aims of this study are;(1) To investigate the effect of balance manipulations on…
The objective of this study is to determine the clinical efficacy of endovascular thrombolytic treatment (ET) as compared to standard treatment (any therapeutic heparin regimen) in patients with proven cerebral venous sinus thrombosis and a high…
The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of arm support therapy with conventional therapy, directed at arm function in stroke patients in the sub-acute phase, with regard to both motor aspects and user experiences.
To compare the effect of a stimulus rich context, specifically developed for rehabilitation (rehab game), with a less rich context (conventional exercises) during reach training for restoration of arm function in chronic stroke patients.
To sess the relationship between cerebral perfusion and clinical findings (neurological and neuropsychological) in patients with sickle cell disease.To compare iamging fincdings in children with and without sickle cell disease.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of a MSE intervention on social participation and quality of life in chronic stroke patients. This MSE intervention will be compared to a controlgroup in order to measure the additional effect of…
The study objective is to evaluate, with respect to hand function, the effect of a physical therapy program based on mirror therapy compared to conventional physical therapy in chronic stroke patients and to improve our understanding of the…
Firstly, to investigate whether the absolute magnitude of Platelet Inhibition inversely correlates with the number of TCD-detected microemboli during and after CAS in patients who are being pre-treated with either a 300 mg or a 600 mg loading dose…
The objective of this study is to to develop a selective and non-selective whole brain ASL perfusion stress test and at 3.0 Tesla based on ASL flow territory measurements.
To identify novel risk factors for TIA and stroke that can be measured in peripheral blood samples, in particular levels of proteins and other markers and genetic polymorphisms.
The aim of the present study is to increase the understanding of the optimal administration of mirror therapy and thereby improve the quality and effectiveness on this therapy. In order to realise this several different applications of mirror…
We hypothesize that intracranial vessel wall atheromas are an important underlying cause of middle cerebral artery obstruction. To test our hypothesis we will perform high resolution intracranial vessel wall imaging with a 7.0 Tesla MRI scanner in…
