To assess the efficacy of a TCC, a BTCC and a cast shoe with similar plantar soles on offloading the previous ulcer location in people with DM and peripheral neuropathy.
The goal of the research is to apply balance perturbations during standing and walking, and capture the resulting stepping responses. These data will be used to develop and verify predictive models of foot placement. Such models might eventually be…
To assess whether a higher prophylactic platelet transfusion threshold is superior to the lower thresholds in reducing the proportion of patients who experience a major bleed or death up to study day 28.
In this study the potential of using the enhanced procedures for analyzing diffusion weighted data which were acquired according to clinical procedures is further investigated. The result is compared to the reconstruction of the OR based on high…
To investigate the effects of vibrating insoles on vibration perception threshold (VPT) and balance of people with diabetic neuropathy.
The determination of the energy expenditure in wheelchair-bound children in rest, during daily activities, and during therapeutic horseback riding.
In this investigation we want to determine if stimulation of the nerve on each side of the neck that leads to the muscles that make the shoudlers shrug is possible in babies. This can possibly prevent a birth lesion of the barchial plexus in the…
To investigate whether probiotics can reduce incidence and severity of migraine attacks.
The objective of this study is to determine the effectiveness of the CHA2DS2-VASc prediction model as directive for the preventive management of AF patients in the first line.
Effect of SCS on CBF
The study will excist of two experiments. The first experiment is a two week overnight electrical stimulation program and in the second experiment subjects will be stimulated for 4 months.With these two experiments we wish to answer the following…

Main object Is there a reduction of the acute peripheral neuropathy complaints of patients with advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer due to the infusion of heated oxaliplatin?Does the quality of life of these patients improve?Secondary objectThe…
The main objective of this study is to determine the prevalence of low BMD measured with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) and quantitative ultrasonography (QUS) in Providentia (a residential care facility for persons with refractory epilepsy…
The purpose of this investigation is: • To examine the effect of single and multiple doses of the new drug JNJ-39393406 (the study medication) on absorption, metabolism and excretion by the body after single administration of the drug midazolam.• To…
The general accepted Hueter-Volkmann law describes the inverse relation between compressive forces on the physis and the rate of physeal growth. So compression decreases and tension increases longitudinal growth. The observed deformities in patients…
The primary goal of this study to investigate the long term functional and radiological outcome of those patients that underwent a cervical laminectomy in the treatment of a cervical spondylotic myelopathy.The secondary goal is to determine those…
The objective of this study is to compare the effects of noise with different characteristics on balance in patients with diabetic neuropathy
1. To detrrmine the applicability of standard energy expenditure prediction equations for accelerometry in measuring physical activity in children with musculoskeletal and other chronic diseases (see below).2. To develop disease specific prediction…
The aims of this project is three-fold: 1) to assess the difference in functional ability and postural control between former polio patients with and without a history of recurrent falls; 2) to determine which risk assessment tool is the most…
