The primary objective is to assess neuropsychological function in X-ALD patients without active cerebral demyelinating disease. Data of minors will be compared to matched healthy controls. Data of adults will be compared to reference values. The…
The primary objective is to study if quantitative (3- and 7-Tesla) MRI protocols (MRI perfusion, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), and chemical shift imaging (CSI)) are able to detect phenotype conversion earlier than conventional MRI. Results will be…
Primary objective of this study is to assess the reliability and validity of the neuromuscular parameters of ankle joint impedance estimated by nonlinear SIPE technology in children with CP compared to current clinical manual tests and gait analysis…
Primary Objective: to derive iPSCs from patients with a variety of diseases caused by genetic mutations or genetic predisposition to disease or of unknown origin. The cells will be propagated and differentiated into a variety of somatic cell types…
1. Discribe the normal development of mastication in healthy children aged between 6 and 48 months by using the Mastication Observation and Evaluation (MOE). Which oral motor behaviours occurs?2. Determine the differences in mastication between…
The primary objective of this trial is to determine whether different types of anaesthesia [regional versus general] given to infants undergoing inguinal hernia repair result in equivalent neurodevelopmental outcomes. Secondary objectives are to…
Using a variety of methods, we try to determine the dynamics of the chewing movements in typically developing children and children with CP. The methods are, in some degree, complementary to each other. Given the limitations of the methods we need…
The objective of this study is to measure the stiffness of the elbow as a measure for axonal misrouting. This method can later aid physicians in determining whether to use botulinum A or not in OBPL.
The primary objective of this study is to determine whether 3D kinematics, kinetics and spatiotemporal parameters during walking on the V-Gait system are comparable to overground walking in children with cerebral palsy and in healthy children…
The main objective of the study is to address the relative efficacy of botulinum toxin and 2-duct ligation in children with cerebral palsy, who suffer from severe drooling despite maximal conservative treatment.
The primary objective of this pilot study is to assess the prevalence of visual field defects in formerly eclamptic women. The secondary objective is to compare the vision-related quality of life between formerly eclamptic and normotensive parous…
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,…
The objective of this research is to find out to what extent a correlation exists between axonal misrouting, the extent of the injury and the associated functional recovery.
To optimize the 3D ultrasound reconstruction and dynamometer as a clinical tool for measurement of morphological and mechanical muscle properties, and to compare the m .gastrocnemius medialis of healthy children to the m .gastrocnemius medialis of…
To investigate if rhEPO has a positive effect on MRI/MRA parameters compared to infants with stroke without rhEPO collected from historical data.To investigate if rhEPO (3 dosages of 1000IU/kg/day) for perinatal stroke has no negative side-effects…
Objective: to determine whether botulinum toxin A (btA) injections, intensive bimanual skill training, or a combination of both leads to more and better use of the affected arm in hemiparetic children in play, leisure time, school and personal care.
Zonisamide (Zonegran) and sodium valproate (Epilim) are both medicines approved for the treatment of epilepsy. This study is intended to investigate to what extent zonisamide can affect your memory and concentration in comparison with sodium…
1. The development of a standardized screeningsinstrument to evaluate the language comprehension of severly handicapped children with movement disorders and who cannot speak, as a result of white matter damage.2.To evaluate the difference between…
To determine to what extent dynamic spasticity can be recognized and quantified in the gait pattern of children with spastic CP and to develop a meaningful and (clinically) applicable measure of dynamic spasticity
The main goal of the VUmc part of the study is to acquire sets of data related to Neurological and Neuromuscular Diseases; in order to build a paediatric digital repository and to develop biophysical modelling and probabilistic modelling.
