The purpose of this study is to investigate the acute effects of gluteal and hamstring ES on femoral artery blood flow, skin vascular function and energy expenditure using ES shorts as a simplistic non-invasive method of ES.
To show whether Active C disc prosthesis is more effective than anterior discectomy with or without interbody fusion 1 year after surgery. Moreover, the incidence of adjacent disc degeneration will be evaluated 5 years after surgery.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of surface electrical stimulation of the gluteal and hamstring muscles on sitting pressure under the buttocks during daily life (3 hours). A second purpose is to compare the effects of only…
To assess whether there is less peri-operative pain and a faster post operative recovery.
The general accepted Hueter-Volkmann law describes the inverse relation between compressive forces on the physis and the rate of physeal growth. So compression decreases and tension increases longitudinal growth. The observed deformities in patients…
The study will excist of two experiments. The first experiment is a two week overnight electrical stimulation program and in the second experiment subjects will be stimulated for 4 months.With these two experiments we wish to answer the following…
The primary goal of this study to investigate the long term functional and radiological outcome of those patients that underwent a cervical laminectomy in the treatment of a cervical spondylotic myelopathy.The secondary goal is to determine those…
Primary objective:Does the use of the application support a positive lifestyle development?Secondary objectives:Does the use of the application support an increase in physical activity levels?Does the use of the application has a positive influence…
To develop a prediction equation to validly estimate the body composition of people with a SCI using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA)To develop a prediction equation to validly estimate the resting energy expenditure of people with a SCI from…
- The main objective of this study is to develop a predictive model that can estimate the rest energy expenditure in indviduals with SCI or LLA.- To develop a model based on raw accelerometry data that can estimate the energy expenditure during ADL…
To systematically develop a mobile lifestyle application + counseling program for wheelchair users with a spinal cord injury or lower limb amputation. The intended application is aimed at promoting physical activity, healthy eating habits and…
Part 1:To determine the effect of depth of anaesthesia, as quantified by pEEG, on the quality of Tc-MEP measurements during spinal surgery.Hypothesis: lower depth of anaesthesia, defined by higher values of pEEG will:a. Decrease the threshold…
Regular electrical stimulation induced muscle activation increases muscle mass and volume and augments muscle, subcutaneous and skin blood flow in individuals with a spinal cord injury. Moreover, electrical stimulation applied to the ischial…
Primary Objective: To evaluate potential changes in body composition and REE after NMES therapy at home for 12 weeks.We hypothesize that NMES therapy would result in hypertrophy of gluteal and hamstring muscles, and an increase in LL-LBM, total LBM…
Objective: To demonstrate that smoking cessation in the postoperative period has a positive impact on the clinical and radiological outcomes of instrumented spine surgery
To investigate whether daily electrical stimulation of gluteal and hamstring muscles combined with usual care is more effective than only usual in individuals with chronic SCI who often have PU*s and/or are at high of recurring PU*s regarding: 1)…
Co-primary objectives:Hemorrhagic complicationsPerioperative blood lossPerioperative blood loss is determined by measuring blood recovered in the suction device during surgery and weighting of blood saturated gauzes used during surgery. In case a…
The purpose of this post-approval protocol amendment is to extend the follow-up of subjects who were originally enrolled in theRCT, EUBARD-CP_001 protocol. This study extension will examine the long-term survivorship of the Barricaid® ACD when…
