Orofacial Functions and Masticatory Function in Children With Different Types of Deterioration in Oral Health

KIDYCROC
Start date: July 5, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This project aims at studying the evolution of masticatory function (food bolus granulometry, masticatory behavior, muscle activity and masticatory performance) during oral rehabilitation, in children with different types of oral health impairment. Secondary objectives are to study the relationships between children masticatory function (food bolus granulometry, masticatory behavior, muscle activity and masticatory performance) and its evolution during oral rehabilitation, and: - their type of oral health alteration - their eating behaviors - their height and weight status During examination the following parameters are collected: - Various clinical indicators of oral health - The child's weight and height - Frequency and nature of orofacial dysfunctions - The oral health related quality of life of children and their families - Chewing tests are performed (chewing gum, natural food such as carrot, cereals, and cheese samples, samples of gelatins of different hardness) Examination and differents tests are performed every six months for a total of 5 years (per participant) The dental care procedures performed during the study were carried out in the usual way.

Prospective Study and Analysis of Biomechanical Parameters of Human Movement Based on Disability Indicators in Older Adults

MOBA-P
Start date: June 1, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Mobility loss in older people is caused by a variety of aging impairments in various body systems.The disability, which includes physical impairments and resulting activity limitations or participation restrictions, can arise acutely from a catastrophic illness or, more commonly, from subacute functional decline without a clear triggering event. Lower physical functioning was associated with higher healthcare utilization and expenditures, leading to a large burden on government-funded healthcare services. Early identification of mobility changes and intervening in them would likely be the most effective strategy to reduce the burden of disability in the population. Overall, there is a need to develop strategies to reduce disability among older adults in which kinetic and kinematic characteristics are used to predict disability status. Accordingly, the purpose of this prospective cohort is to identify biomechanical parameters, from the gait, sit-to-stand, timed up and go, stair ascend and descend, and quiet standing functional tasks, as predictors of changes in health and disability status in older adults. This research was funded by Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia (FCT), NORTE 2020, and European Social Fund of European Union, grant number 2020.05356.BD and through R&D Units funding (UIDB/05210/2020), Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia (FCT), Portugal and the European Union.

NCT ID: NCT05611723 Recruiting - Disability Clinical Trials

Study and Analysis of Biomechanical Parameters of Human Movement Based on Disability Indicators in Older Adults

MOBA
Start date: June 1, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Older adults develop modifications in the execution of movement that lead to impairments in activities of daily living performance. Accordingly, there is a need for technological advances in devices that assist older adults targeting improvements in parameters of movement performance that have the highest impact on the skills of daily living. Therefore, to gather the parameters of movement impacting daily living activities, the main goal of this study is to perform a comparative analysis of the biomechanical movement parameters between older adults with and without disability, performing the tasks: gait, sit-to-stand, timed up and go, quiet standing and climb and descend stairs. This work was supported by theFundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia (FCT), [grant number 2020.05356.BD] and through R&D Units funding [UIDB/05210/2020], Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia (FCT), Portugal and the European Union.

NCT ID: NCT05394363 Recruiting - Obesity Clinical Trials

Generation Victoria Cohort 2020s: A Statewide Longitudinal Cohort Study of Victorian Children and Their Parents

GenV
Start date: October 4, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Generation Victoria (GenV) is a longitudinal, population-based study of Victorian children and their parents that will bring together data on a wide range of conditions, exposures and outcomes. GenV blends study-collected, study-enhanced and linked data. It will be multi-purpose, supporting observational, interventional, health services and policy research within the same cohort. It is designed to address physical, mental and social issues experienced during childhood, as well as the antecedents of a wide range of diseases of ageing. It seeks to generate translatable evidence (prediction, prevention, treatments, services) to improve future wellbeing and reduce the future disease burden of children and adults. The GenV Cohort 2020s is open to all babies born over a two-year period, and their parents, residing in the state of Victoria Australia. The GenV Cohort 2020s is preceded by an Advance Cohort of babies born between 5 Dec 2020 and 3 October 2021, and their parents. This comprises all families recruited at GenV's Vanguard hospital (Joan Kirner Women's and Children's) and at birthing hospitals throughout Victoria as GenV scaled up to commence recruiting for the GenV Cohort 2020s. The Advance Cohort have ongoing and full participation in GenV for their lifetime unless they withdraw but may have less complete data and biosamples.

NCT ID: NCT05219045 Recruiting - Disability Clinical Trials

Ohio RETAIN Impact Evaluation

Start date: January 19, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The Retaining Employment and Talent after Injury/Illness Network (RETAIN) demonstration is a collaborative effort between the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) and the Social Security Administration (SSA) to improve employment outcomes for individuals who experience injuries or illnesses that put them at risk of exiting the labor force and relying on disability programs and other public supports in the long term. RETAIN projects include a combination of medical provider services, stay-at-work/return-to-work (SAW/RTW) coordination services, and other SAW/RTW services. This evaluation will focus on the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services' implementation of "Ohio RETAIN." The evaluation will document how the project is implemented, describe enrollees, estimate the project's impacts on enrollees' outcomes, and assess whether the benefits outweigh the costs.

Pneumatic Technology for Powered Mobility Devices

PTPMD
Start date: October 1, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Over 240,000 Veterans with disabilities use mobility devices such as manual and power wheelchairs and scooters, and this number continues to grow. Mobility devices have been described as the most enabling technology a clinician can provide to a person with a disability. Yet, the batteries used to power scooters and wheelchairs have many drawbacks. Batteries are hazardous to humans and the environment, heavy (which limits transportability), and incompatible with wet or highly humid environments. Repairs to electrical systems and replacement of batteries are frequently needed. These are costly and adversely affect the Veteran. Compressed air is a power source that overcomes many of these disadvantages. The investigators have developed a scooter and a wheelchair that are powered solely by compressed air. The purpose of this study is to clinically evaluate the impact of these new devices on Veterans living in long-term care facilities, and to obtain feedback from nurses, therapists, and engineers regarding their design and feasibility of use in long-term care.

NCT ID: NCT03408522 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Perioperative/Postoperative Complications

Troponin Elevation After Major Noncardiac Surgery 2

TEAMS2
Start date: January 29, 2018
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) are a leading cause of mortality in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery. Patients with perioperative myocardial injury (PMI), defined as either myocardial infarction and lower elevations in cardiac troponin, are also at substantially increased risk of additional cardiac and noncardiac complications. Accordingly, it is plausible to assume that PMI negatively affects quality of life in terms of disability. The aim of this study is to investigate and compare the independent prognostic effects of the different PMI phenotypes (myocardial infarction and non-infarct troponin elevations) and noncardiac complications on disability in patients undergoing elective noncardiac surgery.
