investigate whether early treatment with ChEI delays the progression of minor VH to major VH without insight or PDP. In addition, we will measure motor control, psychotic symptoms, cognitive impairment, mood disorders, adverse events and compliance…
Our aim is to investigate whether patients who are informed by video will have less preoperative anxiety than the patients who receive usual information.
This project will investigate what the needs of patients with late stage parkinsonism, their families and of their carers are, what services and support they receive, and the extent to which their needs are met in different health-care systems. This…
1) To evaluate the efficacy of knee-ankle-foot orthoses (worn by night) in preventing a decrease of range of motion to ankle dorsiflexion in children with cerebral palsy (Clinical part). 2) To evaluate the effect of night-worn knee-ankle-foot…
The present PhD thesis focuses on the investigation of ADAS and the older driver. Even though, recent research investigated the effects of ADAS on driving performance, little is known about the long-term effects of the systems on performance.…
To demonstrate the extent to which an intervention that combines treadmill training augmented by virtual reality (TT+VR) reduces fall risk, improves mobility and enhances cognitive function in a diverse group of older adults, compared to a treadmill…
The primary objective is to study the effects of 12 weeks of treadmill training with virtual reality on neural plasticity in comparison to the effects of treadmill training without virtual reality.Secondary objectives are to investigate the role of…
Effectiveness and costs of a short-stay nursing home in intervention compared with the 'regular' care to patients in end-stage Parkinson's disease.
The primary objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of occupational therapy in improving daily functioning of patients with Parkinson's Disease and reducing caregivers* burden.
First aim of the study is to investigate whether a physical activity promotion program will result in a improvement in physical activity in sedentary patients with PD. Furthermore, the related health benefits will be analysed.
Our objective is to assess the effect of TRP depletion on mood and behavior in PD patients treated with STN DBS. By doing, this, we hope to be able to identify risk factors for and mechanisms underlying psychiatric side effects of STN DBS.…
The study objective is primarily to measure the effect of an online cognitive training in patients with mild cognitive complaints in PD. An online training, specifically altered for PD patients (BrainGymmer) will be compared with an active online…
The aims of this study are to investigate:1. How and when neurologists communicate the diagnosis of PD in diagnostic and post-diagnostic consultations, particularly focusing on timing, content, communication style and the impact of neurologist…
We aim to develop three cognitive profiles to assess FTDr in HD patients; 1) Fit to drive, 2) No longer fit to drive, and 3) Dubious fit to drive and no longer fit to drive. The profiles will be determined with classic neuropsychological tests,…
The primary objective is to determine the feasibility of a remote intervention study to promote physical activity in people with iRBD. The secondary objectives are to determine the longitudinal effect of an exercise intervention in people with iRBD…
Our main objective is to conduct a pilot study testing the applicability and face/external validity of the battery in a young-onset PD cohort, alongside age-matched healthy controls. We aim to gain deeper insights into the complex interrelationships…
The primary objective of this study is to explore the potential efficacy of the Holocue application for alleviating FOG episodes through on-demand cue activation. In order to achieve this, walking data obtained from the Hololens will first be…
The research question addressed in this study is:How do patients with advanced PD, their family caregivers and professionals their problems, needs and received care?This question will be explored by an examination of what patients, (former) family…
