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…
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…
The main objective of the present study is to evaluate (cost)effectiveness of Dementia Care Mapping (DCM)intervention in nursing home dementia care by performing a large RCT study.
We hypothesize that the Ketogenic diet will be cost-effective compared to usual care.
The first aim of this study is to evaluate the development of motor skills (goal directed arm movements) in children with a visual impairment compared to normally sighted peers. Our hypothesis is that children with a visual impairment have poorer…
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…
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…
The primary research hypotheses are: 1. Patients who follow the Onco-Move program will achieve better physical fitness levels, as assessed by objective performance tests, and will report less fatigue than patients in the usual care control group; 2…
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 purpose of this study is to demonstrate the added value of using 'LMA-S in the ambulance with CPR in the Netherlands indigent patients. The hypothesis is that the value of using the LMA-S is located in the safety and speed of placing the…
Assess of the effect of HD colonoscopy alone or when combined with different I-scan functions compared to standard colonoscopy with respect to adenoma detection rate.
Patients undergoing a minimally invasive oesophagectomy have fewer morbidity, a shorter duration of the intensive care unit (ICU) admission and a better quality of life than following the traditional approach.
To study's primary objective is to establish the effectiveness of a low-threshold guided self-help intervention targeted at improving one's self image in people with anxiety and/or depressive symptoms and low self esteem. We expect to find…
Otosclerosis is an isolated ear disorder which can cause hearing and balance impairment. The cause of these symptoms is a disturbed bone metabolism confined to the area of the otic pit, the embryologic predecessor of the inner ear. Most patients…
To investigate whether the clinical outcome is similar after the implantation of the Resolute Integrity stent versus the Promus Element stent (non-inferiority test).
Tropicamide is less effective in inhibiting accommodation and has a small window of maximum activity. Cyclopentolate is more effective but in darker pigmented subjects a significant residual accommodation can be present. Children often show…
1. Cooling to 34, 34.5 or 35°C by means of a surface cooling device, started within 4.5 hours after the onset of acute ischaemic stroke and maintained for 24 hours in awake patients on a stroke unit is safe; 2. In awake patients with ischaemic…
To assess the tolerability and efficacy of the addition of oral tosedostat to standard induction therapy.
Feedback to the COPD patient about his condition and physical activity plays an important role in promoting self management. Within the current care for patients with COPD, there is a lack of insight into daily activities and lack of understanding…
An ICT-supported, integrated, multidisciplinary treatment of COPD in primary care compared to usual care in primary care practices will improve the quality of life of COPD patients at an acceptable level of cost-effectiveness.
