The primary objective is to study the effect of sensor monitoring embedded in an OT rehabilitation program for older persons after hip fracture on recovery of daily functioning, 6 months after the start of rehabilitation, as compared to coaching by…
We want to find out whether the new protocol (with a fast MRI) is more cost-effective than the current protocol (concisting of 10 days cast). Primary Objective: To find out whether the new MRI protocol is more cost-effective than the old protocol.…
In light of the above, our objective is to study the (cost-) effectiveness of a single intravenous gift of antibiotic prophylaxis with a firstgeneration cephalosporin prior to implant removal following surgical fixation of foot, ankle and/or lower…
The aim of the present study is to implement and evaluate the 'ZELFIE game' in vulnerable geriatric patients after hip-surgery, and in patients with an increased risk of falling. The game is specifically tailored to and co-created with the…
