NCT ID: NCT02567227 Completed - Mobility Limitation Clinical Trials

Cognitive Remediation to Improve Mobility in Sedentary Seniors

CREM
Start date: March 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The investigators propose to conduct a single-blind randomized clinical trial to test the efficacy of a computerized cognitive remediation intervention program on improving locomotion in sedentary seniors, a group at an especially high risk for disability. The hypothesis is that executive functions will respond to the cognitive remediation program and in turn enhance locomotion.

NCT ID: NCT02484781 Completed - Difficulty Walking Clinical Trials

Gait Analyses After Resurfacing Hip Arthroplasty Versus Metal on Metal Total Hip Arthroplasty, an Exploratory Study

Start date: December 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Total hip replacement surgery is a very successful operation with good long-term results. Hip resurfacing arthroplasty is offered as a treatment option for young and active patients with osteoarthritis of the hip. It has been proposed as a treatment option for younger patients because of claims that it preserves femoral bone stock and has better functional outcomes. The assessment of gait after hip replacement surgery may be able to determine functional differences between patients who have undergone total hip replacement / arthroplasty (THA) versus hip resurfacing.

NCT ID: NCT01844375 Completed - Clinical trials for Colorectal Neoplasms

A Trial of Preoperative CHO Drinks on Postoperative Walking Capacity in Colorectal Surgery

Start date: May 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This prospective randomized controlled study is designed to investigate whether preoperative oral carbohydrate loading improves postoperative walking performance, a surrogate indicator for overall functional recovery, in patients undergoing colorectal surgery as measured by 2-minute and 6-minute walk test. The secondary outcomes are postoperative insulin resistance measured with plasma insulin and glucose concentrations. The tertiary outcomes are duration of hospital stay, patients satisfaction during staying in the hospital and morbidity measured as postoperative complications.

NCT ID: NCT01807273 Completed - Difficulty Walking Clinical Trials

Time Up and go in Hemiplegic Patients

TUG
Start date: March 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Investing the Timed Up and Go (TUG) Test in Hemiplegic Patients Using 3D Motion Analysis

NCT ID: NCT01774201 Completed - Multiple Sclerosis Clinical Trials

Respiratory Function and Walking Capacity in Multiple Sclerosis

Start date: September 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic progressive neurological disease. Respiratory dysfunction due to weakness in the respiratory musculature has been described in MS. This leads to increased morbidity and mortality in late stages of the disease. It is possible that respiratory dysfunction influence physical fitness in earlier stages as well. Walking disability and fatigue causes significant impact on health in patients with MS, even in earlier stages. The hypothesis is that there is a relationship between respiratory function, walking capacity and fatigue and that daily deep breathing exercise during two months will improve respiratory function, walking capacity and fatigue.

NCT ID: NCT01740635 Completed - Difficulty Walking Clinical Trials

EPIC WheelS Feasibility Study

Start date: March 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Many older adults have difficulty walking. A wheelchair can improve their participation but older adults typically receive little wheelchair training. Structured training programs are effective but rely on multiple 1:1 sessions with a skilled clinician. EPIC WheelS combines 2 brief training sessions and a 4-week home training program delivered using a portable computer tablet and monitored by an expert trainer. This study investigates the feasibility and potential for using EPIC WheelS with older adult novice wheelchair users in Vancouver and Winnipeg, measuring the impact on wheelchair skill, safety and confidence compared to a control group receiving only cognitive training. Hypotheses: The investigators expect that the feasibility outcomes will be sufficiently robust to support conducting a subsequent multi-site RCT. The investigators also expect the EPIC WheelS training program will have a significant treatment effect with improvement in wheelchair mobility, compared to a control group.

NCT ID: NCT01180738 Completed - Stroke Clinical Trials

Body Weight Supported Treadmill Training vs. Overground Walking Training in Persons With Chronic Stroke

Start date: August 2010
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to compare two different walking training programs for persons with chronic stroke.
