The main aim of this study is to create a specific disease related pattern in the patients with idiopathic RBD.
-To confirm the potential of a diagnostic tool to discriminate dystonic from non-dystonic muscles in CD patients-To explore the potential to discriminate CD patients from Functional Torticollis (FT) patients
The aim of the study is to investigate the differences in multi-joint coordination between healthy young and healthy elderly. Secondly, we want to study adaptation of ankle and hip strategy with the application of whole-body force fields and…
Studying the effect of two intervention programs (1. Motor Imagery Training, 2. Cognitive Orientation to Daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP)) on the motor abilities, motor imagery and motor planning capacities in children with Developmental…
The main objective of this study is to evaluate whether the PowerGlove is a valid instrument that can be used for the assessment of hand motor symptoms in patients with Parkinson*s disease. Sensitivity, specificity, intra-examiner reliability and…
To assess the feasibility and burden of the 24-hAIpHM to precisely measure saliva swallowing frequency during everyday life in PD patients.
The present study aims to assess sensory weights and reweighting in healthy elderly and elderly with polyneuropathy, visual impairments or balance disorders compared to young healthy adults.
To investigate whether balance control is asymmetrical in PD patients. In addition, we want to investigate the relationship between asymmetrical balance control and stepping responses, fall history and freezing of gait.
The goal of this project is, in co-operation with the TU-delft, to develop a new diagnostic tool to discriminate dystonic muscles from healthy muscles contracting compensatory. This would enable us in the future to identify dystonic muscles more…
Databases with multimodal brain imaging data (FDG-PET, VBM, DTI) will be created. From these data image features and network patterns will be extracted, to be used to create a supervised classification method for associating brain patterns to…
Primary Objective: To relate the ability to react in time to postural perturbations to set-shifting performance in Parkinson*s disease patients.Secondary Objective: To investigate the difference in set-shifting stepping responses between PD and…
- To investigate whether the effect of early-start rasagiline treatment (according to the ADAGIO study protocol) provided long term benefits over delayed-start.- To investigate the long-term effects of rasagiline in PD subjects who participated in…
The general aim of this study is to explore how a motivational deficiency (i.e. apathy) related to neurodegenerative diseases is associated with effort and how it can be distinguished from intentional underperformance. We will investigate whether…
The primary objective of this study is to define and evaluate the clinimetric properties of the SMT in terms of validity and reliability.
The aim of the study is to generate a validated questionnaire to measure dysphagia in the three different stages of Huntington's disease.
Databases with multimodal brain imaging data (FDG-PET, VBM, DTI, ASL and resting state fMRI) will be created. From these data image features will be extracted, to be used to create a supervised classification method for associating brain patterns to…
In the proposed experiment we expect to find a similar functional segregation within prefrontal and premotor cortical regions when a free choice option is introduced.
Is time prediction of a future event specifically disturbed, compared to spatial prediction, in PD and FA, when compared to age-matched control subjects? Do the 2 patient groups differ from each other?
*Evaluate our current measurement procedure (*UX analysis report*), that objectively and accurately records the 3D movement of the UX, in healthy children to establish norm values, normal variation and reproducibility in children*Test whether the UX…
Since obstacle avoidance is impaired in PD, with the inability of the patient to regulate both cadence and step length before crossing the obstacle, we wonder what the effect of controlling cadence (by means of a metronome) will be on the pattern of…
