This study will consist of two parts. In the primary observational part we will assess kinematic and kinetic walking patterns in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Goal is to asses the correlation between progressive contractures and gait patterns. This…
In this study the effectiveness of an ankle-foot orthosis on the walking ability and coordination in patients with Huntington's disease will be evaluated. Subject will be the question of the clinical relevance of wearing an AFO according to…
Optimizing orthotic management in children with cerebral palsy to improve mobility and participation
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate AFO efficacy in children with spastic CP using outcome measures related to ICF the components of *body functions and structures* and *activities and participation*. The secondary aim is to identify…
To determine whether AFOs optimized for stiffness in patients with calf muscle weakness are superior to standard AFOs in reducing walking effort, as measured by energy cost of walking (ECW, in Jkg-1m-1), and 2) to build a model to predict required…
The purposes of this feasibility study are: • to evaluate the correlation between COPD-related dyspnea and the EMG of respiratory muscles when simulating daily activities, to assess the dyspnea symptom in a more objective (measurable) way; • to…
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the image quality of a new cone-beam CT imaging system that will be used to acquire images of a wide selection of anatomical locations in patients receiving radiotherapy for cancer.
