NCT ID: NCT06193447 Completed - Nursing Caries Clinical Trials

Early Mobilization in Cardiac Surgery

Start date: January 2, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This study was planned to determine the mobilization process and factors affecting this process in patients who underwent open heart surgery and were admitted to the cardiovascular surgery intensive care unit.

NCT ID: NCT05999539 Completed - Quality of Life Clinical Trials

Comparison of Characteristics Between Faller and Non-faller Transtibial Amputees

Start date: August 25, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Researchers aim to compare demographic characteristics, prosthesis type, functional capacity, and quality of life between faller and non-faller transtibial amputees.

NCT ID: NCT05549999 Completed - Clinical trials for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

Cultural Adaptation, Validity, and Reliability of the Turkish Version of North Star Ambulatory Assessment

Start date: November 1, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The aim of this study is to translate the "North Star Ambulatory Assessment (NSAA)" scale into Turkish and make its cultural adaptation and to demonstrate the reliability and validity of the Turkish version in patients with ambulatory DMD. For the translation into Turkish, validity and reliability of the NSAA, necessary permission was obtained from the developer of the questionnaire, Prof. Dr. Francesco Muntoni, via e-mail. In the study, first of all, the translation and cultural adaptation process will be completed, and then reliability-validity studies will be carried out.

NCT ID: NCT05446987 Completed - Back Pain Clinical Trials

Position Change and Back Massage Versus Early Ambulation on Post Transfemoral Coronary Angiography Complications

Start date: March 1, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The study aimed to assess the effect of position change and back massage versus early ambulation on post transfemoral coronary angiography complications.

NCT ID: NCT05436210 Completed - Clinical trials for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

Postural and Anthropometric Properties of Foot and Ankle of Patients With DMD

Start date: June 23, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

Introduction: Progressive muscle weakness, joint contractures and body alignment disorders seen in patients with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) adversely affect the foot structure of the patients. Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between foot posture, performance and ambulation in patients with DMD. Method: The patient with ambulatory DMD will be included in the study. The foot postures of the patients will be evaluated with the Foot Posture Index. Relationships between the Foot Posture Index and performance tests (6 minute walk test, timed performance tests (10m walking, Gower's, climb/descend 4 stair)) and the North Star Ambulation Evaluation, an ambulation evaluation, will be examined.

NCT ID: NCT04040647 Completed - Bariatric Surgery Clinical Trials

Tolerance of Early Postoperative Mobilization and Ambulation

MOBTOL
Start date: September 15, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

Enhanced recovery programme (ERP) includes early postoperative mobilization and ambulation the day of surgery. Data suggest that orthostatic symptoms prevent a large number of patients from ambulating the day of surgery. The investigators plan to include 50 patients scheduled for colorectal surgery and bariatric surgery in an ERP. A 6-min walk test (6MWT) will be performed before surgery, 3 hour after the end of surgery, and 24 hour after surgery. The day of surgery a 2-min walk test will be realized.

NCT ID: NCT03834428 Completed - Clinical trials for Ambulation Difficulty

IText For ICOUGH: Improving Ambulation of Surgical Patients Through Text Messaging

Start date: March 21, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The investigators plan to conduct a study that evaluates if text messaging increases patients' adherence to ambulation (specifically reminding patients to get out of bed three or more times daily) which is one component of a protocol called ICOUGH, which is a mnemonic that stands for: Incentive spirometry (a breathing device that expands the lungs), Coughing and deep breathing, Oral hygiene (using a toothbrush for example),Understanding (patient and family education), Getting out of bed at least three times daily, and Head-of-bed elevation to prevent choking; each letter representing steps of a protocol developed at Boston Medical Center (BMC) shown to decrease lung-related complications of surgery. Other outcomes, including frequency of ambulation, pain score, number of visitors per day, head-of-bed elevation, education on importance of ambulation, and falls will also be assessed. The hypothesis is that a reminder text message to ambulate will improve these outcomes over time. While beneficial to patients and health care facilities, the ICOUGH protocol is sometimes both difficult to implement and sustain at an acute care hospital, because: (1) patient motivation fluctuates and is the key determinant of patient ambulation (2) it relies heavily on nurses to both educate patients and then keep them accountable to the protocol, (3) an unfavorable nurse-to-patient ratio, (4) high inpatient turnover for elective surgical cases, and (5) an aging baby boomer population—a higher volume of older, higher- risk patients will require more time and attention per nurse. Therefore, utilization of text message reminders may promote better patient, family, and provider engagement and adherence to ambulation which can improve outcomes and decrease healthcare spending.

NCT ID: NCT03341728 Completed - Fall Clinical Trials

The Sensorimotor Locus of Balance Control in Elderly Gait

Start date: October 30, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The aging population is at an exceptionally high risk of debilitating falls, contributing significantly to reduced independence and quality of life. It remains extremely challenging to screen for falls risk, and programs designed to mitigate falls risk have only modestly influenced the sizeable portion of the aging population experiencing one or more falls annually. Balance control in standing and walking depends on integrating reliable sensory feedback and on planning and executing appropriate motor responses. Walking balance control is especially dynamic, requiring active and coordinated adjustments in posture (i.e., trunk stabilization) and foot placement from step to step. Accordingly, using a custom, immersive virtual environment, the investigators have shown that sensory (i.e., optical flow) perturbations, especially when applied during walking, elicit strong and persistent motor responses to preserve balance. Exciting pilot data suggest that these motor responses are remarkably more prevalent in old age, presumably governed by an increased reliance on vision for balance control. Additional pilot data suggest that prolonged exposure to these perturbations may effectively condition successful balance control strategies. Founded on these recent discoveries, and leveraging the increase reliance on vision for balance control in old age, the investigators stand at the forefront of a potentially transformative new approach for more effectively identifying and mitigating age-related falls risk. The investigator's overarching hypothesis is that optical flow perturbations, particularly when applied during walking, can effectively identify balance deficits due to aging and falls history and can subsequently condition the neuromechanics of successful balance control via training.

NCT ID: NCT02545088 Completed - Stroke Clinical Trials

New Technology for Individualised, Intensive Training of Gait After Stroke- Study II

HAL-RCT-II
Start date: October 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The overall purpose of this project is to establish the added value of training with the Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL) exoskeleton system as part of regular rehabilitation intervention programs after stroke. The main specific aims are: (i) to compare potential effects on functioning and disability of gait and mobility training long-term after stroke by comparing A) HAL-training combined with conventional rehabilitation interventions to B) conventional rehabilitation interventions without HAL and to C) no intervention.

NCT ID: NCT02410915 Completed - Stroke Clinical Trials

A Comparison Between the Exoskeleton Hybrid Assistive Limb and Conventional Gait Training Early After Stroke

HAL-RCT
Start date: February 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Overall aim is to evaluate HAL for gait training early after stroke and the effect of HAL on short- and long-term functioning, disability and health compared to conventional gait training as part of an inpatient rehabilitation program early after stroke.
