In deze studie zal de nauwkeurigheid van peroperatieve meting van de cuppositie door een nieuw ontworpen, onlangs gepatenteerd, meetinstrument worden onderzocht. In de toekomst kan, indien het meetinstrument betrouwbaar blijkt, peroperatief de…
To investigate the effectiveness of an internet physical activity / self-management program (artroseinbeweging.nl).
The objective of this study is to develop a resistance training intervention that improves mobility and quality of life in diabetic patients. It is also our intension to achieve a better understanding of the relation between diabetic neuropathy and…
Our primary objective is to compare the short term (3 months follow-up) clinical and radiographic results of the Bledsoe Thruster Brace with the SofTec OA Brace in the management of patients with medial knee OA and a varus leg alignment.
This project focuses on injury prevention-related cost-effectiveness of the "F-MARC Bricks".We hypothesize that the exercises of the *F-MARC Bricks*, integrated in the warm up, reduce injury incidence and/or injury severity and…
The primary aim of this study is to investigate if a tight multiple cardiovascular risk reduction program is effective in reducing progression of Intima media thickness progression (subclinical atherosclerosis) in patients with RA compared to usual…
The objective of this study is to determine whether the intake of protein with extra leucine or extra carbohydrates added results in an improved muscle protein synthesis compared to the intake of only protein in elderly.
To evaluate the cost-effectiveness the current ruling widespread Royal Dutch Physiotherapy Association guideline, in which the combined use of braces and proprioceptive training after ankle sprain treatment is advocated (usual care), against the use…
The objective of this study is to test whether meat structure plays an important role in protein digestion, to maximise the amino acid availability and to stimulate the muscle protein growth in elderly people.
The objective of this study is to investigate if use of ONO-5334 has a more positive effect on bone density and biochemical markers of bone turnover than Alendronate (a bisphosphonate) and placebo.
To investigate whether bone mineral density is lower in apheresis donors than in blood donors.
To show whether Active C disc prosthesis is more effective than anterior discectomy with or without interbody fusion 1 year after surgery. Moreover, the incidence of adjacent disc degeneration will be evaluated 5 years after surgery.
Is the use of postoperative autologous retransfusion drainage (ARD) systems useful in hip and knee arthroplasty?
Is the radiological, histological and biomechanical condition of bone altered after long term bisphosphonate treatment in bone that is subjected to either compressive of distractive forces.
Primary objective: To create and validate healthy-subject-specific musculo-skeletal models of the lower extremity. We will also develop a new method using the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) technique that can be used to validate musculo-skeletal…
The objective of the study is to assess whether 1) two of the questionnaires used are appropriate for this subgroup of stroke patients and 2) the combination of positioning of the hemiplegic arm with simultaneous application of electrical…
The objective of the study is to evaluate a fall prevention program for persons with RA. The primary parameter is to reduce fall incidence in the participants of the fall prevention program.
Before a countermeasure or training can be developed to counteract physical deconditioning it is important to investigate more in detail the magnitude and time course of physical deconditioning and to investigate which outcome measure is most…
The aim of this research is to try to link body posture in music playing with energy expenditure. Our hypothesis is that a correct body posture in brass and wind players is less energy consuming compared to an incorrect posture. This hypotheses will…
Because the increasing fall problem, mainly due to an impaired gait and balance ability, this study will investigate fall risk by detecting fall related movement characteristics. Based on the promising results using accelerometry for accurate and…
