The aims of the study are fourfold: 1) to assess dual-task walking performance in patients with late sequelae of polio and compare this to dual-task walking performance of age-matched healthy controls; 2) to investigate the reproducibility of a dual…
The primary objective of this project is to contribute to the knowledge of the optimal medical care of DMD patients with regard to the optimal level of physical activity by examining the effects of training primarily upon muscle endurance and/or the…
The aims of this project is three-fold: 1) to assess the difference in functional ability and postural control between former polio patients with and without a history of recurrent falls; 2) to determine which risk assessment tool is the most…
Because the increasing fall problem, mainly due to an impaired gait and balance ability and partly caused by trips, this study will investigate fall risk by detecting fall related movement characteristics and by detecting stumbles inclusive the…
The primary aim of this study is to investigate whether physical therapy modalities to inactivate MTrPs can reduce symptoms and improve shoulder function in daily activities in a population of chronic a-traumatic shoulder patients when compared to a…
The aim of this research is to examine the effects of changes in proprioceptive and visual information on balance control in WAD sufferers. Although clinical experience suggests more effective balance control due to elevated proprioceptive…
To identify characteristics of the spastic flexor carpi ulnaris muscle (FCU), and the intra-, inter-, and extramuscular connective tissues using high resolution MRI.
The primary objective is to study the efficacy of AET and CBT in decreasing experienced fatigue in patients with FSHD. Secondary objectives are (1) to identify generic and disease-specific determinants of effects, (2) to evaluate the effect of CBT…
To study the influence of ingestion of additional leucine on body composition and muscle characteristics in elderly, type 2 diabetes patients.
To test the hypothesis that ketamine has a modulatory effect on fibromyalgia
The primary objective of the current study will be to evaluate the (cost)effectiveness of a PE intervention in order to prevent back and neck pain among a heterogeneous group of workers.
Untill now, MRS has never been applied to skeletal muscles of FSHD patients. As MRS provides a unique window on several compounds in skeletal muscle and some skeletal muscles of FSH patients are affected by the disease, it is possible that…
To determine the contribution of proximal or distal muscle weakness to perturbations of stance induced by posturography.
This study aims to make a cognitive profile of dutch LGMD2A patients.
Overall Objective: To define the properties of whey, casein, milk protein, as well as soy protein with and without additional leucine to augment post-exercise muscle protein synthesis when co-ingested with a carbohydrate containing recovery drink.…
To understand the interrelations between muscle related parameters (muscle mass, muscle strength, physical performance), energy expenditure (actual physical activity and basal metabolic rate), and nutritional status (energy intake and protein status…
The Sport-2-Stay-Fit (S2SF) Study will investigate if an after school sports program increase the sustainability of a standardized interval training program in children and adolescents with a physical disability or chronic disease.
Primary Objectives: To investigate whether differences exist in the mitochondrial energy generating capacity of skeletal muscle of statin users with SAMS compared to statin users without SAMS and controls (non-statin users).Secondary objectives:2A.…
The main objective of this pilot study is to determine if 31P MRS and BOLD-MRI or 1H MRS can be used as diagnostic tests to discriminate between ischemic muscle and normally oxygenized muscle and to assess their reproducibility.
The objective of the study is to assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of PRO044.
