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…
This exploratorive study is performed to improve our understanding of possible etiologic factors and the relationships between foot mobility, intrinsic foot muscles and foot segment kinematics during gait for patients with sub-acute and chronic…
1) To compare (long-term) results of patients treated for Calcific Tendonitis with barbotage, versus patients treated for Calcific Tendonitis with other conservative standard-treatments2) An analysis of group characteristics and risk factors for CaT…
Primary objective(s): Is to determine the effect of botulinum toxin injections on postoperative pain and discomfort after an arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.Secondary: To determine whether postoperative immobilization of the rotator cuff, after…
The first aim is to determine see if knee proprioception is related to patellar tendinopathy. The second aim is to study whether application of a patellar strap influences proprioception.
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…
To clarify the aetiology of CTS and prognostic factors for the development of CTS.
The goal of the study is to investigate whether and to what extend conscious control of the movements of the knee joint is present. Evidence is emerging that patients use an attentional focus that is directed to conscious control of the movements (…
The aims of this research proposal are to detect; 1) which early (degenerative) changes occur in bone, cartilage and menisci in patients with an acute complete ACL rupture, 2) at what point of time after the initial injury do these early changes…
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…
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 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…
The purpose of the current study is to compare MRI findings between affected and unaffected elbows in patients with clinically diagnosed unilateral lateral elbow painGiven the considerable number of degenerative changes in asymptomatic elbows…
The goal of this study is to analyse differences in monocyt activity, by analysis of cytokine levels in serum of healthy and OA patients.
To clearify the etiology of CTS and prognostic factors for the development of CTS.
The aim is to gain basic dynamic information for an upcoming accuracy studies whereby the diagnostic value of 4D-RX will be determined. By comparing healthy individuals with those with scapholunate ligament dissociation we expect to detect abnormal…
The goal of the study is to gain insight in the changes in motor control programming after injury to the ACL and subsequent reconstruction of the ACL. The following hypotheses: will be tested:1. Reflex latencies on the involved side are increased…
Objective is to monitor muscle function before and after a solitary transfer of the pectoralis major for patients suffering a winged scapula. Clinical results, assessed in terms of pain experience, maximal Range of Motion, arm force and arm function…
Goal 1: By evoking experimental pain we would like to investigate whether abdominal muscle recruitment changes under conditions of experimental pain. Goal 2: By threating with experimental groin pain we would like to investigate how any alterations…
To investigate the association of anatomical defects with the occurrence of stress urinary incontinence.
