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.
To define the amount of dietary protein required to optimally stimulate post-exercise muscle protein synthesis in the older population.To assess whether co-ingesting 1.5 g of free leucine (contained within 15 g dairy protein) along with 15 g protein…
Primary objective of this study is to assess the feasibility of using a monitoring and a titration algorithm to prevent inactivity and excessive activity of the diaphragm. This will be determined by comparing the fraction of breaths where diaphragm…
The overall objective is to investigate the efficacy of resveratrol in modulating metabolism and CVD risk profile in patients with COPD. The primary objective is to investigate the effect of resveratrol on CRP as clinical marker of low grade…
Primary objective of this study is to assess the reliability, validity, and diagnostic value of the neuromechanical parameters of joint impedance estimated by nonlinear SIPE technology in patients with a spastic paresis.
The primaire objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of a multicomponent intervention (MCI) programme (physical activity [PA], nutritional counselling/dietary intervention, and information & communication technology [ICT] intervention)…
The primary objectives of this study are (a) to evaluate reliability and precision of an instrumented spasticity assessment device (ISA) in children with cerebral palsy and adults with spastic paresis (MS and stroke patients) and (b) to validate ISA…
To obtain some control values for the MRI biomarkers for fatty infiltration and edema-like lesions in skeletal muscles of healthy volunteers.
Using technology for improving diagnostics of non-specific lower back pain by physiotherapists
What is the correlation between intramuscular and surface EMG of the mm. multifidi in different clinical tests in healthy subjects and non-specific lower backpain patients?
To describe the EMG activity of the pelvic floor muscles (PFM) with a bi-polar EMG probe and the MAPLe and effect on the registered EMG activity with the probes in relation to the contractions of the muscles surrounding the pelvic floor. To describe…
Primary Objective: To examine how protein supplemented after exercise and before each night of sleep augments the resistance type exercise training-induced changes in quadriceps muscle size (CSA) in healthy elderly men. Secondary Objective:…
We aim to explore the role of PFM activity in male LUTS
To determine whether the intake of minced beef is equally effective as ingestion of a bovine milk protein beverage in stimulating post resistance exercise muscle protein synthesis rates in young men.
The aim of this pilot study is to test the feasibility of a screeningset, to be used in a future cross-sectional study on the prevalence, characteristices and health and economic outcomes of sarcopenia in community-dwelling older people.
Primary ObjectiveDifference in incidence of an avulsion injury and morphological changes of the levator ani muscle after a first normal vaginal delivery between participants with and without a mediolateral episiotomy.Secondary ObjectiveChanges in…
Obtain information regarding the movement abilities and muscle strength in persons with several neuromuscular diseases, which can be used to develop a motion controlles arm suport for daily use and training of arm function.
The objective of this study is to obtain insight in the characteristics of sarcopenic versus non-sarcopenic community-dwelling older people.
The main objective of this study is to explore the correlation between the patient*s perception of the injury, clinical tests and parameters found using DTI and MRI during the rehabilitation process.
The proposed randomized controlled lifestyle intervention studies the effects of an exercise and nutrition intervention in the first year after transplantation on: 1. Exercise capacity, muscle strength, diet, quality of life and social participation…
