The objective of the study is to determine the validity of MRI imaging to quantify changes in the CMC 1 joint in patients with osteoarthritis and how do these changes relate to functional status. The validity will be determined by comparison with…
* To study the relationship between inflammation on MRI and syndesmophyte formation with very detailedimaging methods: radiography, computed tomography (CT), 3 and 7 Tesla MRI. * To examine the time order of pathologic changes like inflammation,…
Theoretically the anatomical reconstruction technique should give better results in rotational stability due to a more anatomical placement of the ACL-graft. Though it is difficult to test this correlating to functional outcome, because in current…
To compare long term outcome of patients with calcifying tendinitis of the rotator cuff treated with us guided needling with us guided cortocosteroids injection versus us guided cortocosteroids injection only. .
The primary objective of this study is to examine clinical safety and feasibility of the IMPACT therapy. The secondary objective is to measure the level of clinical improvement and quality of life at 6, 12 and 18 months. The tertiary objective of…
Substudy A• Validating the supramaximal SteepRamp exercise test to determine physical fitness in type 2 diabetes patients by correlating the result with a conventional VO2max exercise test and determining the test-retest reliability.Substudy B•…
Primary: to investigate whether applying a conservative treatment for an unstable ligamentous skiers thumb is equal to surgical repair. Secundary: to calculate the sensitivity and specificity of standardised accurate physical examination when…
The main objective of the study is to compare the routinely removal versus retainment of the syndesmotic stabilization screw.
The primary aim is to establish the percentage of patients with unknown (pre )diabetes in the group of patients who present with a trigger finger. Our secondary objective is to relate the outcomes of treatment to the presence of diabetes.
By introducing a novel method for studying dynamic wrist motions we expect to set up a new non-invasive method which is expected to result in early diagnosis of abnormal carpal movements after ligament disruption. By comparing healthy individuals…
To compare two revalidation protocols with reference to the ACL reconstruction
To investigate differences in clinical outcome between patients with lytic spondylolisthesis and residual hernia surgery pain undergoing minimal invasive spinal fusion surgery. Beside this clinical outcome we investigate the radiological outcome of…
The aim of this study is to determine the clinical effectiveness of custom-made insoles on the general pain severity of patients with PFPS after 12 weeks from baseline.
Goal of this study is to determine if high-field sodium-MRI can be used as:1) a sensitive, in vivo, and non-invasive biomarker to diagnose OA in an early stage and 2) as a method to follow the progression of OA and to monitor the effect of new…
The objective of this study is to define the accuracy and the inter observer reliability of the clinical tests for assessing anterior cruciate ligament ruptures. These tests compose the standard in clinical testing for diagnosing or monitoring the…
The primary objective of this study is to determine the long-term clinical course in patients who consulted their general practitioner 6 years ago with a new episode of knee complaints. The secondary objectives of this study are to determine…
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…
Giving an overview in women who are 20-30 weeks pregnant of the frequency and severity of physical signs and symptoms, which are according to literature related to low back pain in pregnancy.
To assess the influence of external pressure on the os pisiforme on carpal movements in patients with midcarpal instability
Primary objective: Evaluate intraarticular environmental changes related to treatment for focal cartilage lesions in order to increase insight into the chain of events occurring during cartilage regeneration.Secondary Objective(s): Determine the…
