The aim of the trial is to obtain data on the optimal dose, feasibility and pharmacokinetics of bumetanide when given as an add-on treatment for seizures in full term babies with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). Bumetanide will be given in a…
The aim of this research is to study the MRI-sequence with the best parameter settings for the most optimal image quality to visualize the sacral plexus and its branching nerves. Diffusion-weighted imaging, diffusion tensor imaging, 3D-GE-MEDIC and…
The primary objective of this explorative study is to evaluate the training effect on the upper extremity function of the (most) affected arm in unilateral activity, in children with unilateral and bilateral spastic Cerebral Palsy using the WiiTM…
The determination of the energy expenditure in wheelchair-bound children in rest, during daily activities, and during therapeutic horseback riding.
In this investigation we want to determine if stimulation of the nerve on each side of the neck that leads to the muscles that make the shoudlers shrug is possible in babies. This can possibly prevent a birth lesion of the barchial plexus in the…
The aim of this study is to visualize the cervical roots and brachial plexus in neonates reliably and reproducable.
Applicability of fetal brain imaging techniques for clinical purposes.
Optimizing orthotic management in children with cerebral palsy to improve mobility and participation
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate AFO efficacy in children with spastic CP using outcome measures related to ICF the components of *body functions and structures* and *activities and participation*. The secondary aim is to identify…
The primary objective of this study is to determine whether 3D kinematics, kinetics and spatiotemporal parameters during walking on the V-Gait system are comparable to overground walking in children with cerebral palsy and in healthy children…
The main objective of the study is to address the relative efficacy of botulinum toxin and 2-duct ligation in children with cerebral palsy, who suffer from severe drooling despite maximal conservative treatment.
To study if, how, and to what extent, cortical reorganization occurs in children with unilateral Cerebral Palsy after mCIMT.
to describe neurophysiological characteristics of *writhing* and *fidgety* GMs in typically developing young infants by means of multiple surface EMG recordings and kinematics.
The primary objective of this pilot study is to assess the prevalence of visual field defects in formerly eclamptic women. The secondary objective is to compare the vision-related quality of life between formerly eclamptic and normotensive parous…
The primary objective of the study is to assess (acute) brain injury in the perioperative phase by cerebral MRI in infants with non-cardiac congenital anomalies requiring surgery in the neonatal period.
The primary goal of this study is to evaluate the clinical long term results of patients with a forearm osteotomy and/or soft-tissue procedures to correct a supination deformity. Furthermore we will try to identify association between functional…
Main group:EEG/ERP study (children and adolescents 4-17 years old)To quantify the effects of different intervention programs (mCIMT; BiT; combined mCIMT-BiT) on functional cortical processes involved in different aspects of motor behavior (i.e.…
The main objective of our research is to develop an FCE for use in one-handed individuals. The main objective of this part of the study is to gain descriptive data on muscle tension of the back, neck and shoulder, joint movements of the shoulder,…
The primary aim of the study is to investigate the feasibility of a RCT study on effectivity and workingmechanisms of HRT in children with CP. The Doel van deze studie is ten eerste de feasiblity onderzoeken van een toekomstige RCT study over het…
Objective #1: Implement clinical platform. We see the need to implement a clinical platform for two purposes. First, we want to design a biomarker profile of perinatal brain damage in human newborns (see above). Thus, we have established a…
The aims of the study are 1) to upgrade an existing GA protocol based on inertial system(developed at the INAIL Prostheses Centre in collaboration with the University of Bologna) in terms offinding out which calibration procedures result suitable to…
