Primary objective: Determine for different control algorithms whether the algorithm is effective in providing the patient with the required support and bringing about the desired changes in the walking patternSecondary Objective(s): - Determine…
To assess whether temporary discontinuation of antihypertensive therapy in mildly cognitively impaired older patients on antihypertensive treatment improves cognitive and psychological functioning.
The aim of the current study is to identify couplings of muscle activation patterns (muscle synergies) in reaching movements in stroke patients. Insight in the motor control of stroke patients can contribute to improve the disabled arm functioning…
To determine the effect of botulinum toxin type A injections in stroke patients with stiff knee gait.
The primary objective of this study is to estimate the effect of endovascular treatment on overall functional outcome after acute ischemic stroke of less than six hour duration, in patients with a symptomatic anterior circulation IAO. The secondary…
The primary objective of the trial is to determine if ischemic stroke subjects with a baseline NIH Stroke Scale Score (NIHSSS] >= 10 (8-9 with positive CTA) treated with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA; [Alteplase recombinant…
The aim of this research is to determine whether HDsEMG could be used as a reliable alternative to a current clinical procedure of lower arm muscle innervation zone localization.
The overall objective of this study is to assess to what extend different cognitive domains are affected by a recent TNA and which mechanism is responsible for this cognitive decline. We wanted to know whether the kind of TNA (focal, non-focal,…
Primary objective:To compare episodic memory performance in ischemic stroke patients with posterior parietal lesions (Brodmann Areas 5, 7, 23, 30, 31, 39, 40) to performance in patients with other lesion locations.Secondary objective:To explore the…
To establish the effects of a management policy of early intensive BP lowering on death and disability inpatients with acute spontaneous, primary, ICH and co-existing elevated BP compared to a moreconservative BP management policy that is based on a…
To evaluate whether preventive treament with haloperidol lowers the risk for delirium in stroke patients with an increased risk for delirium.
- To confirm findings in previous studies regarding the loss of functioning motor units in the first day after acute stroke. - To study peripheral nervous system excitability in order to be able to formulate a more detailed hypothesis regarding the…
(1) Evaluate whether stroke patients differ from healthy controls on the experience and the course of subjective cognitive complaints during the first two years after stroke;(2) Evaluate potential predictors for cognitive complaints during the first…
- To detect carotid and aortic plaque morphology and long term plaque behaviour in patients with cerebral and cardiac end-organ damage (NSTEMI / STEMI and TIA / CVA) with 1.5T MRI-derived virtual histology and relation to biomarkers.- To correlate…
The main objective of this study is to examine the effect of different kinds of augmented feedback on learning an arm motor task.
1. To investigate whether a single-blind, randomized controlled trial in patients with a TIA or minor stroke addressing secondary prevention, healthy life style and cognition is feasible and not too demanding for the patient.2. To investigate…
The purpose of this project is to determine the impact of pretreatment fibrinogen gamma*/ total fibrinogen ratios on the success of rtPA therapy.
The objective of this study is to assess the influence of the executed motor paradigm on associations between brain activity patterns and recovery after stroke. In addition the role of spinal cord integrity in recovery will be assessed.
To investigate whether preventive use of the antibiotic ceftriaxone improves functional health outcomes in patients with stroke by preventing infection. This will be done in a large multi-centre randomized controlled trial. Within this trial we will…
To investigate the outcome after induced hypertension versus no induced hypertension in patients with DCI after aneurysmal SAH.
