We hypothesize that a treatment algorithm that is based on a simple validated measure of health status (CCQ) improves quality of life (as measured on a separate scale) and other classical COPD outcome measurement parameters such as exacerbation…
Public health authorities have recognized lack of hand hygiene (HH) as one of the important causes of preventable mortality and morbidity at population level. Both at national (UK, USA, Dutch VMS) and international levels (WHO) poor HH has been…
The hypothesis to be tested that the outcome in arm B is better than in arm A.
1. The treatment group will increase their Theory of Mind skills in comparison to the waitlist control group; 2. The conceptual skills will improve at a higher rate than the practical skills.
Because of the high cardiovascular risk profile and functional disabilities of obese long-standing type 2 diabetes patients, therapeutic exercise programs have hardly been evaluated in this subpopulation. The current research proposal aims to…
The percutaneous and lipofilling technique has a shorter convalescence.
To determine whether doubling the dose of corticosteroid injections in the treatment of arthritis in knee joints is more effective, both in number of responding patients and in duration of response (pain relief).
Ultrasound-accelerated catheter-directed thrombolysis can reduce the posttrombotic syndrome incidence, improve quality of life and reduce medical costs in patients with acute primary iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis.
Parens with psychiatric problems often have parenting problems, in particular when they have to deal with other risk factors for poor parenting like for instance isolation and poverty. This means an enhanced risk for their children on developing…
We hypothesize that, with increased arm abduction moment loading with a constant exerted abduction force, primary arm moment generators (deltoid muscle) will have a greater increase in activation (EMG) as compared to primary arm/glenohumeral…
We hypothesize that the Ketogenic diet will be cost-effective compared to usual care.
The aim of this study is to determine the (cost)effectiveness of a home-based functional training programme as compared to regular physical therapy with regard to the ability to live independently and participation of frail elderly of 75 years and…

Healthcare professionals need to encourage physical activity according to the guideline for cardiovascular risk management. Patients with cardiovascular risk factors (abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, low HDL cholesterol, elevated…
The diagnostic triage will be a simple and feasible way to improve the diagnosis and treatment of frail elderly with exercise induced dyspnoea and/or reduced excersie tolerance.
Alle Leerlingen Actief! (ALA) works both on the intrinsic motivation of inactive students to become more physically active, as it promotes the activity-friendly environment in and around schools. Motivational interviewing techniques will be used to…
Prestwich, Perugini and Hurling (2009; 2010) have proven that reminding individuals of their plans to exercise enhanced the impact of implementation intentions to exercise. The primary objective of this research is whether adherence to the active…
The hypothesis to be tested is that by consequent screening and subsequent treatment with optimized treatment strategies of patients with advanced cancer the quality of life and their communication with family can be improved. In addition, we…
Lactate decreases TG-VLDL synthesis by the liver by decreased production. Since patients with FCH have a higher production, we hypothesize that they will have a significant decrease in their production.
In old age, reduction in physical function leads to loss of independence, the need for hospital and long-term nursing-home care, and premature death. Community-based complex interventions can be effective in maintaining physical function and…
