To improve our insight in chronic pain and to develop methodologies to treat chronic pain.
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…
How does motor fatigue influence the cognitive functioning of patients with MS and how does this interaction compare to that in healthy controls?
Objective: Primarily, the objective of this study is to assess the role of serotonergic and dopaminergic polymorphisms in fear conditioning. Secondary, we will investigate additional cannabinergic and corticotropinergic polymorphisms in fear-…
Overall aim of the study is to investigate which decision-making models for patient participation are used in practice in end-of-life decision-making and how appropriate are these models for different patient groups.Secondary Objective(s): 1. In…
