To fully characterize skeletal muscle strength and endurance, phenotype and muscle fiber type-specific satellite cell content in frail elderly as compared to those elderly that do not classify as frail according to clinical criteria.
To compare the accuracy of syndesmotic reduction on an axial CT-scan postoperatively (reflecting syndesmotic malreduction) after anatomical open reduction and fixation of the posterior malleolar fragment versus no fixation of the posterior fragment…
Primary objective of this study is to assess the reliability, validity, and diagnostic value of the neuromechanical parameters of joint impedance estimated by nonlinear SIPE technology in patients with a spastic paresis.
Study of functional outcome after arthroscopic tenotomy of long head biceps tendon vs. arthroscopic debridement vs. conservative treatment as treatment for degenerative rotator cuff ruptures in patients 65 years or older.
The primary objective is to study the effect of sensor monitoring embedded in an OT rehabilitation program for older persons after hip fracture on recovery of daily functioning, 6 months after the start of rehabilitation, as compared to coaching by…
Documentation of the patients' functional recovery and quantification of fusion after implantation of 3-D trabecular titanium cages on the short and long term. These data will be compared with the recently performed randomized CASCADE trial on…
The primary objective of this study is to compare respiratory muscle strength values obtained using volitional techniques with values obtained using non-volitional techniques. The secondary objective is to compare the change for these two sets of…
To investigate the acceptability and feasibility of exercise therapy in an aquatic environment by patients after burn injury.
1. To explore the validity and usefulness of Bone Microindentation Technique (BMT) in the assessment of bone quality in patients with osteoporosis and a spectre of bone diseases characterised with (localised) increased bone turnover. 2. To study the…
1. The primary objective is to evaluate the characteristics of the distal radial growth plate on MRI (including functional imaging techniques) and on conventional radiographs in young gymnasts with wrist pain, compared to young gymnasts without…
The primary goals of this study are to: i. Identify genetic variations responsible for PLP across the whole genomeMore than 90% of SNPs are found in introns or intergenic regions and most of them are probably of little functional consequence.…
The purpose of the study is to investigate the effect of (repeated) cast immobilization on the bone strength of the lower leg in patients with diabetes mellitus. In this study, bone strength is examined by cortex thickness in millimeters and density…
The main objective of this pilot study is the application of a home-based exercise strategy that helps patients to return faster to their functional level of before the surgery. At first, practical feasibilty of the exercise strategy delivered by…
Objective: We want to extend our understanding of the disease aetiology by performing a small pilot study that incorporates other immunologic sites involved in the disease (the skin and the microbiome) while additionally strengthening our disease…
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE1. To determine the contractile strength and the (ultra)structure of single diaphragm muscle fibers of mechanically ventilated patientsSECONDARY OBJECTIVE1. To determine whether diaphragm muscle fiber weakness is part of a…
To compare radiological and functional outcome in 2 retrospective cohorts. We compare the results of the MILAN study with a cohort after changing our operative strategy in 2010.
The purposes of this long-term mutli-center study are: - To compare the long-term (10-year) radiographic and clinical outcomes of new E-Poly* liner in primary total hip arthroplasty with the conventional ArcomXL® polyethylene liner.- To compare the…
To assess functional outcome and using gait analysis to quantify kinematic and kinetic abnormalities of servicemen who suffered foot injuries due to combat actions.
Define the normal outcome and spread of the range of motion of the knee-rotationThe outcome of the manual rotationtest of the knee compared with a rotation-device. (reliability of the test)Define inter- and intra-tester reliability of the manual…
Gaining an objective insight in muscle fatigue during exercise for patients with FSHD by 1. comparing the timing of change in sEMG amplitude and sEMG median frequency, to gas exchange variables, heart rate, work load and blood lactate levels during…
