Identifying (psycho)physiology-based subgroups in chronic fatigue syndrome and their relevance for rehabilitation KU Leuven
About 20 000 people in Belgium suffer from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), a disorder characterized by persisting fatigue insufficiently explained by known medical or psychiatric conditions. Dysfunction of several (psycho)physiological systems, such as the stress response system (including the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis and the autonomic nervous system), the immune system (systemic inflammation), and the central nervous system ...
Behavioral and brain connectivity analysis of upper limb sensorimotor rehabilitation post stroke KU Leuven
Stroke causes brain damage leading to brain reorganization and motor deficits in the upper limb. The reorganization of the brain after stroke is currently poorly understood. Motor deficits are well documented in the literature but in order to move the arm and hand, so called somatosensory information like knowing the position of your arm and hand in space is necessary. In previous research, we were able to show that motor and somatosensory ...

Moving Heart Failure Forward: from understanding exercise intolerance in heart failure patients, to an individualized rehabilitation prescription to improve the treatment of the disease. Ghent University
Chronic heart failure represents a fundamental health and financial challenge for Flanders and European society. While physical exercise represents a key rehabilitation strategy, up to 50% of patients have been characterized as nonresponders by previous studies for reasons that are still unclear. In this context, research focused for a long time on the central limitations (the heart) as the cause of exercise intolerance in these patients, but ...

Objectifying performance assessments and personalized rehabilitation trajectories to improve return to work in failed back surgery patients. KU Leuven
The primary scientific objective of the study is to examine if a personalized biopsychosocial rehabilitation program specifically targeting RTW is more effective in improving the physical ability to
work in FBSS patients after SCS implantation compared with usual care. The secondary objective of the study is to examine if a personalized biopsychosocial rehabilitation program specifically targeting
RTW compared with usual care is ...
