To quantify muscle relaxation properties of fingerflexors using transcranial magnetic stimulation in patients with different myopathies to develop a screening diagnostic tool to assess who does (not) suffer from an underlying myopathy.
The primary goals of this study are to: i. Identify genetic variations responsible for PLP across the whole genomeMore than 90% of SNPs are found in introns or intergenic regions and most of them are probably of little functional consequence.…
to determine the percentage of patients with CKD, without a history of gout or attacks of arthritis, that have tophi measured by US,DECT and clinical examination. to determine the percentage of patients with CKD, that have tophi measured by US, and…
To Establish the usefulness of MRI for assessment of the rotator cuff in patients with an Affinis short prosthesis implanted in the shoulder.
Primary aim: Stepwise feasibility study to investigate whether intravenously administered macrophage tracers [11C]DPA-713, [18F]DPA-714 and/or [18F]PEG-folate accumulate in inflamed joints of rheumatoid arthritis patients using PET(-CT).Secondary…
To conduct a randomised controlled trial to determine differences in outcomes of the TT and AMP ACL reconstruction techniques by means of MRI signal SI of the ACL graft. Secondly, differences in clinical, functional and patient-oriented outcomes of…
The main objective is to identify objective, neuromuscular and/or mechanic parameters through movement analysis, which are closely correlated to the subjective outcome of TKA. Secondary objective is to generate parameter specific hypotheses for our…
The main objective of this study is to assess the prevalence cardiovascular disease and the prevalence of risk factors for cardiovascular disease in patients with gout, and to quantify the risk for cardiovascular disease in patients with gout. The…
The aim of this exploratory study is to compare the hemodynamic response as determined by the HandScan between patients with OA and RA, and to study these hemodynamic responses in relation to disease specific underlying joint pathology (synovial…
The aim of this study is to evaluate the quality of the cartilage of repaired defects 20-25 years after perichondrium transplantation (PT) or autologous chondrocyte translantation (ACT). Secondary objectives are to review the functionality and pain…
To evaluate the role of white blood cell (WBC) scintigraphy in monitoring the response of infection treatment of a prosthetic joint infection.
Primary objective of this study is to assess the reliability, validity, and diagnostic value of the neuromechanical parameters of joint impedance estimated by nonlinear SIPE technology in patients with a spastic paresis.
1. To explore the validity and usefulness of Bone Microindentation Technique (BMT) in the assessment of bone quality in patients with osteoporosis and a spectre of bone diseases characterised with (localised) increased bone turnover. 2. To study the…
1. The primary objective is to evaluate the characteristics of the distal radial growth plate on MRI (including functional imaging techniques) and on conventional radiographs in young gymnasts with wrist pain, compared to young gymnasts without…
To determine the prevalence of posttraumatic osteoarthritis following a PLD-PLFDs in a cohort of young non-osteoporotic patients and correlation with objective and subjective outcome measures.
To assess functional outcome and using gait analysis to quantify kinematic and kinetic abnormalities of servicemen who suffered foot injuries due to combat actions.
Define the normal outcome and spread of the range of motion of the knee-rotationThe outcome of the manual rotationtest of the knee compared with a rotation-device. (reliability of the test)Define inter- and intra-tester reliability of the manual…
Gaining an objective insight in muscle fatigue during exercise for patients with FSHD by 1. comparing the timing of change in sEMG amplitude and sEMG median frequency, to gas exchange variables, heart rate, work load and blood lactate levels during…
To compare Bone Material Strength of the tibia at the side of a fracture or arhtrodesis with that of the opposite tibia in patients who had been immobilized for at least 6 weeks after a recently sustained fracture of the ankle of calcaneus or after…
The primary objectives of this study are (a) to evaluate reliability and precision of an instrumented spasticity assessment device (ISA) in children with cerebral palsy and adults with spastic paresis (MS and stroke patients) and (b) to validate ISA…
