Primary Objective: To compare the function and strength of the hip of patients with a trochanteric fracture with and without a fracture of the lesser trochanter.Secondary Objective(s):The following parameters will be assessed and compared for…
Objective: To evaluate the adherence of patient*s use of OS.
To investigate the relation between quadriceps strength, range of motion, parameters of gait and functional outcome (measured with the WOMAC) in patients with severe osteoarthritis of the knee 3 months and 1 year after TKA.
The primary objective in this study is to detect the presence of supra-spinal central sensitization in patients with chronic neck pain secondary to cervical facetal arthropathy. We aim to show this by comparing the pressure-pain thresholds (PPT; the…
To study the relationship between (a) abnormal concentrations of plasma amino-acids, pterins, HVA and inflammatory parameters and (b) the severity, duration and outcome of delirium. To find a biochemical profile that predicts the occurrence of a…
Aim of the study is to test whether goals and mood are associated with levels of pain, disabillity and activity levels during the day.
In this study we want to monitor the neurological complications occurring during hip operations, consisting of hip arthroplasty ('head-neck' prothesis) for traumatic hip fractures. We want to establish that there is more understanding of…
The goal of the study is to investigate whether and to what extend conscious control of the movements of the knee joint is present. Evidence is emerging that patients use an attentional focus that is directed to conscious control of the movements (…
Primary objective is to assess the early stability of the Delta-TT cup and H-MAX femoral stem. Additionally, the stability of the Delta-TT cup with Polyethylene insert is compared to the Delta-TT cup with Ceramic insert by means of RSA. Secondary…
Research will focus on improving and optimizing the cell culture process in a dedicated bioreactor system. The aim of the development is a closed system that can replace current cell culture practice to better guarantee the quality of the cultured…
In this study we would like to investigate the effect of CP (Peptan®) on pain, synovial inflammation and functional and clinical outcome parameters in patients undergoing total knee replacement therapy.
The aim of this study is to investigate the bilateral symmetry of the human wrist joint and its clinical applicability. The analysis of the bilateral symmetry of the wrist is of great clinical relevance. If there appears to be a high grade of…
To determine the relation between in vitro parameters of stored red blood cells and in vivo survival of these red blood cells after autologous transfusion. To identify the relationbetween the recipients immune response to stored autologous red cells…
Obtain transient temperature data of the skin, core and wound surface during orthopedic back surgery in order to validate the numerical model developed at the Technical University of Eindhoven for this type of surgery.
The current study evaluates the OrthoSensor and investigates whether the combination of the Vanguard® Knee System with the OrthoSensor results in a faster recovery and better clinical outcomes during short follow up compared to conventional TKA (…
This study investigate the problems which patients experience after hospital discharge after TKA surgery during the first six weeks post-operative. We will use the outcome of this study to optimize the first six weeks after hospital discharge.The…
Our primary objective is the effect of taurine on morbidity and consequent mortality.
I. To evaluate what the impact is of posterior scoliosis correction on respiratory muscle function (strength, endurance, power and work of breathing).II. To evaluate the relation of changes in respiratory muscle function, due to the posterior…
The main objective of this study is to investigate the predictability of persisting post-surgical pain (PPSP) after TKA using electrical quantitative sensory testing (eQST) and nociceptive perception thresholds (NPT) in combination with a pre-…
