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 aim of this study is to describe the values of the SNIP in patients with neuromuscular disease and various respiratory conditions and to assess the practicability of the SNIP in these patients.
To evaluate if a mechanical stretch device is effective in treating myogenic disturbances of the jaw joints, as compared with fysiotherapy.
The question, however, remains whether there are changes in pain processing in chronic RSI and whether the general process of pain sensitization is comparable to that seen in CPRS. In animal research (Byl, 1997) it has been shown that after…
The first aim of this proposal is to investigate the post-prandial muscle protein synthesis rates in young and elderly men in response to a meal-like protein bolus after a period of rest or physical activity (study A). The rest trial (REST) will act…
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of a website.If the results indicate that the website is effective, the website may be implemented on a large scale. With the use of an effective website, companies will receive better…
The objective of this pilot study is to investigate the feasibility and effect of a high-intensity physical training program for elderly patients who are scheduled for abdominal oncological surgery on the preoperative maximal aerobic capacity and…
