Percutaneous flexor tenotomy with toe deformity in diabetic patients.

To demonstrate that percutaneous flexor tenotomy is an effective way to treat poorly healing ulcers in diabetic patients with hammertoes. We want to measure this effect by determining the healing time, percentage healed wounds and decrease in size…

Braces versus proprioceptive exercise for the secondary prevention of ankle sprains; a randomised controlled trial and cost-effectiveness evaluation.

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…

Cost-effectiveness of an injury prevention program in male amateur soccer

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 influence of body posture on energy expenditure in brass and wind instrumentalists.

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…

Effect of neurocognitive load during hop tests on jump distance, muscle activity and joint angles in patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction versus healthy individuals

To investigate the hypothesis that both patients with an ACLr and individuals without a knee injury show a significantly reduced jump distance during hoptests with a neurocognitive load compared to traditional hop tests.
