The objective of this study is to evaluate the acute effects of PEEP on the position, length, and contractibility of the diaphragm.
The primary objective of this study is to investigate whether electrical stimulation applied to the abdominal wall muscles in synchrony with exhalation can be feasible to prevent the development of atrophy of the abdominal wall muscles during the…
We aim at investigating the role played by the innate and adaptive immune system and orienting a proper treatment. We will evaluate the percentage and features of circulating activated immune cells, cytokine production and gene expression profile…
To determine whether DUX4 can be detected in epithelial or stem cells isolated from midstream urine and/or buccal brush biopsies and/or skin punch biopsies of FSHD patients. Hereby we will assess whether any of these biomaterials can be used as an…
Primary Objectives:1. Determine the impact of short-term (3 days) unilateral lower-limb immobilization on *cumulative* rates of MPS in younger and older adults.2. Determine whether leucine supplementation can prevent declines in cumulative MPS and…
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of 3 months martial arts based training program for DMD patients. The secondary objective is to gain a first impression on the program*s ability to optimally use one*s…
Primary Objectives: 1a. To investigate whether differences exist in training response after a 12-week combined endurance- and resistance training program between statin users with and without muscle complaints and a control group (non-statin users).…
-To determine which type of NMES electrodes is most suitable for multiday (5 days) use. The main objective is to explore the effect of time and electrode type on skin condition during multiday use of the same electrodes in healthy subjects.
The primary objective of this study is to measure mitochondrial capacity and maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) in endurance-trained and untrained young males in order to verify if NIRS can be used to analyse differences in mitochondrial function…
To quantify the effects of several factors on muscle relaxation of the finger flexors measured with TMS. These factors are contraction strength (as a percentage of the maximum), stimulus intensity, muscle temperature, and position of stimulator coil…
This study aims to explore the effects on the achievement of goals and the ideal conditions of a ZORA robot-based play intervention within rehabilitation and special education for children with severe physical disabilities with a developmental age…
(I) Compare shoulder loads estimated with musculoskeletal simulations, stability and associated muscular effort of subjects with FSHD and healthy controls during the performance of standardized upper extremity tasks with and without an arm support…
The primary objective of this CMO application is to acquire follow-up MRI data of the skeletal muscles in FSHD patients to investigate the progression in fat infiltration and changes in muscle volume in these patients after 3-4 years, by using the…
The primary objective of this study is to measure mitochondrial capacity using NIRS in young and older healthy males in three different muscles (vastus lateralis, gastrocnemius and the tibialis anterior) to give insights on how age-related changes…
To compare the anabolic properties of a meal-like amount (40 g) plant-based protein when compared with animal-based protein on muscle protein synthesis rates in vivo in humans.
Using technology for improving diagnostics of non-specific lower back pain by physiotherapists.
Primary Objective: Development of an DTI sequence for muscle fibre integrity assessment of the swallowing musclesSecondary Objective(s): 1. Reproducibility assessment of the muscle fibre integrity assessment with DTI in healthy volunteers: (a)…
to investigate the role of regulatory T cells in response to heat shock proteins in muscle and peripheral blood of patients with juvenile dermatomyositis. To identify patterns in T-cell responses and cytokineprofiles, in relation with clinical…
