This will be a pilot study that aims to gain insight into the effect of Gaucher disease on bone metabolism. For this purpose we formulated the following research questions:What is the effect of inflammatory factors in the serum of patients with…

Gait symmetry of patients with an endoprosthetic reconstruction of the knee joint after bone tumour resection.

The primary goal of this study is to describe possible causes of gait asymmetry in patients with an endoprosthetic reconstruction of the knee joint due to a bone tumour. Therefore, the assumed gait asymmetry is first verified (part A). Subsequently…
