The main objective of the study is to document cardiovascular dysfunction found in rheumatoid arthritis and gout patients using cardiac imaging techniques echocardiography and cardiac MRI.
The proposed study aims to develop a prediction rule for response to biological treatment in RA (i.e. effectiveness and adverse events). Guidelines for treating the disease with biologicals using the (derived) prediction rules will be defined. To…
To investigate whether children with OI who use a wheelchair (for long distances) can reliably perform a valid shuttle ride test in order to assess the levels of health-related fitness in this group.
Theoretically the anatomical reconstruction technique should give better results in rotational stability due to a more anatomical placement of the ACL-graft. Though it is difficult to test this correlating to functional outcome, because in current…
Primary ObjectiveDifference in incidence of an avulsion injury and morphological changes of the levator ani muscle after a first normal vaginal delivery between participants with and without a mediolateral episiotomy.Secondary ObjectiveChanges in…
Primary goal of this study:1) To determin the percentage of structural damage caused by an ankle inversion trauma. 2) Investigate to which patient characteristics, anamnestic characteristics, physical examination and structural characteristics…
To develop non-invasive markers for tissue changes in skeletal muscle using MR methods
To assess the prevalence, severity and impact of arthropathy in patients with moderate or severe VWD and a history of documented DDAVP or clotting factor concentrate treatment for joint bleeds. To compare arthropathy in these patients to age, FVIII…
Primary Objective: Our main goal is to contribute to the identification of an attentional profile of the paediatric TBI population, by analysing the quality and efficiency of alerting, orienting, executive and sustained attentional functioning. This…
To evaluate the effects of intravenous iron suppletion in iron deficient PAH patients.Amendment: to compare exercise capacity and isolated muscle strength in IPAH patients and healthy controls
Primary Objective: Compare grip strength of working patients with OAH with healthy workers.Secondary Objective(s): To compare the results of the supplementary tests of working patients with OAH with healthy workers.To describe the possible…
Is DEXA accurate to predict bone loss of the femur before undergoing hip revision arthroplasty and provide a tool for quantification of bone loss of the femur before hip revision arthroplasty? Can DEXA be used to monitor bone remodelling after hip…
Do athletes with hamstring injuries have different intermuscular coordination of the lower limb when compared to the intermuscular coordination of the lower limb of athletes without hamstring injury during maximal vertical jumping? Also, is the…
Part one: To quantify the influence of weightbearing on the IMA, HVA and DMAA, measured according the actual gold standard of measurement.Part two: Validation of the Dutch version of the Foot Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS) and the Dutch version of the…

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…
In recent studies physical training against resistance appeared to be the most successfull to prevent sarcopenia. Because of the bad physical condition of the elderly during a hospital admission resistancetraining can't be applied. A Pilot…
- The main hypothesis of this study is that JIA patients at risk of a flare due to subclinical inflammatory activity may be identified by analysis of the phagocyte activity marker S100A12 and hsCRP. The goal is a stratification of the therapeutic…
To investigate whether the CVS patients show the muscle membrane disturbances, as the FMS patients do. That is, are there muscle conduction velocities disturbances in the CVS patients?
The objectives of this study are:1) to quantify the muscle symptoms, muscle complaints, limitations in daily living, fatigue, mood disorders, and quality of life in patients with Brody's syndrome.2) determining the genetic background of Brody…
