To investigate whether patients with VLCADD have a different energy metabolism compared to healthy controls.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of a single bout of NMES on muscle protein synthesis rates in healthy elderly males.
To study the influence of physical inactivity, induced by leg immobilization, on muscle charateristics, satellite cell content and muscle protein synthesis rate.
The aim of this study is to investigate the overnight effect of a single bout of NMES on muscle protein synthesis rates in healthy elderly males.
To investigate whether elderly individuals lose muscle mass at a greater rate than young individuals during 5 days of one legged knee immobilization, and whether dietary protein supplementation can alleviate such muscle loss in the elderly.
I. To evaluate what the impact is of posterior scoliosis correction on respiratory muscle function (strength, endurance, power and work of breathing).II. To evaluate the relation of changes in respiratory muscle function, due to the posterior…
The aim of this study is to develop an immortalised B-cell line derived from MG patients. This antibody producing cell line will be used for different applications:- The establishment of new passive transfer disease models for MG- The identification…

STUDY 1: To investigate the impact of prior ingestion of a single high protein meal on the normal obligatory increase of muscle protein synthesis rates after protein intake and physical activity in healthy young men. STUDY 2: To investigate the…
1. What is the somatosensory profile of DM2 patients?2. What are the similarities and differences between the somatosensory profile of pain in myotonic dystrophy type 2 and fibromyalgia patients?
Do athletes with hamstring injuries have different intermuscular coordination of the lower limb when compared to the intermuscular coordination of the lower limb of athletes without hamstring injury during maximal vertical jumping? Also, is the…
The primary aim of this study is to identify the muscles that are most critical to the abnormal standing posture, standing balance and gait in FSHD patients and to elucidate the most important mechanisms of falls. The ultimate goals are (1) to…
The aim of this study is to identify direct markers of muscle and adipose tissue hypoxia in COPD and CHF patients in relation to the altered muscle oxidative phenotype and the putative mediators HIF-1α and PPARs/PGC-1. Insight in the underlying…
The aim of the represent proposal is twofold, 1. [PHASE 1] the establishment of a human tissue biobank including muscle and blood, and additionally from a subset subset of subjects fat and skin biopsies will be taken. Samples will be distributed…
To investigate whether propriocepsis or reflexes are present after nerve reconstruction
The purpose of the present study is to compare the recruitment of the transversus abdominis (and internal oblique) measured with ultrasound imaging between athletes with and without long lasting groin injuries. In this study it is hypothesized that…
The main objective of this study is to find an answer to the question: " What is the role of self-discrepancies in patients with chronic low back pain and more specifically, in their activity level?" The answer to this question offers more…
To investigate (1) whether basal levels of oxidative stress differs between COPD patients and healthy volunteers and (2) whether exercise-induced oxidative stress after a single-leg ergometer test differs between patients and healthy controls (3) to…
investigate who is at risk and to discover possible contributing factors of the development of paratonia in different dementing illnesses
To identify characteristics of the spastic flexor carpi ulnaris muscle (FCU), and the intra-, inter-, and extramuscular connective tissues using high resolution MRI.
