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…
To investigate the impact of 7 days of bed-rest on skeletal muscle mass, strength and whole-body insulin sensitivity in healthy, young men.
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…
In recent studies physical training against resistance appeared to be the most successfull to prevent sarcopenia. Because of the bad physical condition of the elderly during a hospital admission resistancetraining can't be applied. A Pilot…
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 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 overall objective of the study is to quantify age-related changes in biomechanics and neural control of hand motor control and finger independence. Therefore, we will determine the finger interdependency during various finger tasks in terms of…
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:To determine the contractile strength of diaphragm fibers of COPD patients before and after in vitro exposure to CK-107. SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:To determine the contractile strength of latissimus dorsi fibers of COPD patients before…
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of a single bout of NMES on post-prandial muscle protein accretion during the day and prior to sleep in healthy elderly males.
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…
This is a post-marketing study to further assess the safety and efficacy of the InSpace* device implantation in comparison to surgical repair of full thickness MRCT . The efficacy will be assessed by comparing the pre- and post- operative shoulder…
To evaluate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of Energetic. Secondary objectives include evaluation of barriers and facilitators for implementation of Energetic in other settings.
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…
To optimize ventilator support in critically ill patients admitted to the intensive care unit by monitoring electromyography of the respiratory muscles.
The objectives of the study in chronic stroke patients are 1) to determine whether eccentric strength training is an effective strength training program, 2) whether upper-limb task oriented strength training improves upper limb function in the…
