In today’s medicine, 3D planning and PSI are not commonly used in revision TKA surgery and little is known about the accuracy and implementation of these techniques in revision TKA. Therefore, the question arises, what are the potential benefits of 3D planning and PSI in revision surgery? The goal of this thesis is to explore the potential...

Severe muscle weakness is a symptom appearing in certain neuromuscular diseases (NMDs), such as Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), affecting people's daily lives by reducing functionality, decreasing independence, and reducing the ability to perform essential daily activities. This patient group might benefit from using active-assistive devices...

Liver cancer ranks seventh in global cancer prevalence and stands as the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Surgical resection is considered the gold standard for treatment of liver malignancies and has witnessed a shift toward minimally invasive techniques in recent decades. Surgeons rely on laparoscopic observations, preoperative...

Critically ill, mechanically ventilated patients require a substantial amount of energy to meet their basic metabolic demands, as well as for their recovery, spontaneous breathing, gaining of strength, and weaning from the ventilator. It is important for patients to use their energy as efficient as possible at all stages of the disease and...

<b>Introduction</b>: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an important therapeutic option for various neurological diseases. For certain indications the optimal target cannot be identified on structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), but can be visualized with tractography. A recent improvement for clinical practice is the probabilistic...

Cardiothoracic surgery is a common treatment for cardiovascular diseases. Patients are admitted to the ICU after cardiothoracic surgery for continuous monitoring to prevent or treat postoperative complications as much and as soon as possible. One of these complications is the development of circulatory shock. It is likely caused by one or a...

To better understand and predict osteoarthritis, researchers are developing so-called coupled modelling workflows. Coupled workflows convert data from gait analysis studies to subject-specific tissue mechanical response estimations through the use of musculoskeletal and finite element models. The tissue mechanical response inside the joint is...

Introduction: Revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) can be challenging in patients with severe acetabular bone defects and there is no consensus on the preferred reconstruction technique in this population. The aim of this study is to determine the biomechanical differences between Trabecular Metal Acetabular Revision System (TMARS) and Custom...

Purpose: Proton therapy has been proposed as an alternative to conventional photon therapy for the treatment of locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) since these patients experience toxicities. Proton therapy may allow for significant sparing of the organs at risk, reducing the incidence of treatment-related morbidities. The aim of this study...

The combination of the high number and the consequences of falls in older adults led to the development of fall risk assessments; non-sensor-based and sensor-based. Multiple studies used ML for older adults' fall risk prediction using raw IMU data. This study's objective was to develop a DL algorithm that predicts the fall risk of people living...

Goal: Build and evaluate the first prototype of the Cloud Walker, a passive assistive gait orthosis. Method: The Cloud Walker uses muscles of the upper body to store energy in the springs at the back of the Cloud Walker. This energy can than be used to swing the legs forward. The Cloud Walker was evaluated by 9 healthy participants walking on a...

Background: Radiostereometric analysis (RSA) is a technique to assess early migration, which has a predictive value for early failure of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). To successfully analyze the RSA images it is important to have a sufficient amount of visiblemarkers with an acceptable three-dimensional distribution.<br/>Objective:...

<i>Neuropathic pain</i> (NP) affects approximately seven to ten percent of the general population. Seventeen percent of NP patients scored their life as “worse than death”. A myriad of causes may underlie NP, such as stroke or spinal cord injury. Also, damage or disease of the <i>peripheral nervous system</i> (PNS) may result in NP. One of the...

Objectives: In double outlet right ventricle (DORV) both the pulmonary artery and the aorta originate predominantly from the right ventricle (RV) and a ventricular septum defect (VSD) is present. Each DORV patient requires an individual surgical approach. In complex cases the optimal surgical approach may be difficult to assess based on...

Introduction Near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging is a relatively novel development in colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) surgery which has proven to be an added value for the detection of new lesions and surgical guidance. However, new possibilities of NIRF imaging in CRLM surgery are yet to be explored. The fluorescent rim of indocyanine...

Robots can be powerful tools in post-stroke gait rehabilitation. However, state-of-the-art robots are often expensive machines containing rigid links with high inertia. Their expensiveness could limit their availability, and their high inertia reduces transparency, which could hinder rehabilitation progress. These factors raise the need for a...

Purpose: Patient-specific implants (PSIs) and surgical guides are widely used nowadays for the reconstruction of craniofacial defects. In this research, we quantitatively compared the realised position of craniofacial PSIs with the planned position and we calculated the difference between the realised osteotomy and the planned osteotomy if a...

Vertebral fractures are the most common osteoporotic fractures, with a prevalence of 12-20% in Europe, making them a major health problem because of the associated morbidity, mortality and costs. Without adequate treatment, vertebral fractures are often followed by subsequent fractures, leading to further invalidation and deterioration of health...

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. In CAD, the coronary arteries, that supply the myocardium with oxygen, are narrowed or even blocked by a process called atherosclerosis. Invasive coronary angiography (ICA) is the gold standard for the diagnosis of CAD, as well as for intraprocedural...

Due to neuromuscular capacity decline, sit-to-stand, an essential daily life activity, is increasingly difficult to perform for elderly. In practice, elderly frequently use compensatory arm-strategies in sit-to-stand. However, the specific advantages of these compensatory strategies are unclear. The focus of this research is to study the...
