To quantify muscle relaxation properties of fingerflexors using transcranial magnetic stimulation in patients with different myopathies to develop a screening diagnostic tool to assess who does (not) suffer from an underlying myopathy.
The objectives of this study are to:• Evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of long-term treatment with intravenous (IV) ATYR1940 in adult patients with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) previously enrolled in clinical…
To evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability, and efficacy of ABT-494 in RA subjects who have completed Study M13-550 or Study M13-537 Phase 2 RCT with ABT-494.
Main objective: The main objective of this open-label, single arm study is to further characterize the safety, tolerability and effectiveness profile of olesoxime in SMAThe primary safety objective for this study is as follows:To evaluate the safety…
Gaining an objective insight in muscle fatigue during exercise for patients with FSHD by 1. comparing the timing of change in sEMG amplitude and sEMG median frequency, to gas exchange variables, heart rate, work load and blood lactate levels during…
The purpose of this study is to find out which common problems occur in the HME patient population. Furthermore the study will investigate which factors are associated with the observed problems. This is barely investigated in the current literature…
The aim of our study is to further elucidate the role of genetic factors in the pathogenesis of CTS by genetic and functional research.-Objective 1: Unravel the mutational spectrum of genes in patients with idiopathic CTS-Objective 2: Evaluation of…
By making this design study we wish to contribute to profound research on percutaneous gastrocnemius lengthening for for children with an equinus contracture and prevent publication bias for this open-labelled randomized trial.
The objective of this study is to determine the optimal myo-electric prosthesis training for obtaining the largest transfer effect. Here fore we plan to execute three experiments. At first it needs to be revealed which trainingtasks leads to the…
The objective of this study is to determine the surplus value of mental imagery on myo-electric prosthesis training Here fore we plan to execute two experiments. The goal of the first experiment is to test if intermanual transfer effects of able-…
•To characterize the natural history and progression of DMD to help inform the design of future studies•To capture biomarkers of safety and disease progression•To provide comparative data for the development of rare exons for which formal controlled…
In one FOA family we have detected a deleterious mutation in a compelling gene which co-segregates with the FOA phenotype in the family. This mutation is, therefore, is likely to be causal to the early onset OA. The objective of the study is:a) To…
To develop and examine the test-retest reliability of a wheelchair skills test for children
The objectives of this study are:1) to quantify the muscle symptoms, muscle complaints, limitations in daily living, fatigue, mood disorders, and quality of life in patients with Brody's syndrome.2) determining the genetic background of Brody…
The primary objective is to identify (epi)genetic and environmental disease modifying factors that contribute to the variable clinical phenotype of FSHD, in order to support the future development of new treatment strategies for FSHD. The secondary…
To perform 31P-MRS during and after exercise using a specifically designed probe to determine variations in energy metabolism along the TA muscle in healthy humans subjects.
1. The effect of Losartan on the joint excursions and the Hardening of the skin in a patient with SSS.2. Gain insight in the pathogenesis of SSS3. Gain insight in the functional effect of Losartan in SSS.
The objective of this study is to establish the effects of transfer of learning in children with upper limb deficiencies after practising with an upper limb prosthetic simulator.In children, transfer of learning effects have hardly been studied. The…
2.1 Primary Objectives: 1) To test the feasibility of the six minute assisted leg and arm cycling test in patients aged 6-18 years with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), Beckers muscular dystrophy (BMD), Limb Girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD),…
The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility of both the CPET and the 6MWT as outcome measures for exercise capacity in children with DMD and BMD. This study will focus on ambulatory children with DMD and BMD. These patients frequently…
