Filter by:Three dimensional gait analysis is widely accepted as a general measure of functional ability among individuals as it is related to health, well-being and quality of life. To diagnose subtle changes/deviations in gait and to correctly interpret gait, a reference gait database of healthy subjects is required. Computer Assisted Rehabilitation Environment (Caren) is a new gait analysis system which combines the 3D motion captures system with a split belt force plate instrumented treadmill and a virtual reality environment. This system enables to analyses several successive steps, which is impossible in the standard overground laboratories. Until now, no reference gait database has been created using the Caren system. The aim of this descriptive study is to create a reference database of gait in healthy adults with varying subject characteristics using Caren. This study is a single center descriptive study to build a reference database on gait of healthy adults of different ages. Six age groups are composed existing of 20 males and 20 females. Taken into account that 10% of the volunteers (especially elderly) may drop out due to e.g. disability, a total of 264 subjects will be recruited to ensure that database will include 240 subjects. Inclusion criteria: ambulatory, ability to walk without aid for 30 minutes, age older than 18 years and willing to participate. Exclusion criteria: muscular skeletal, cardiopulmonary disorders or other diseases significantly influencing gait. Medical interventions, such as surgical treatment or botulinium toxin 6 months, which significantly influence gait. Subjects will walk at different walking speeds at Caren while gait is measured. Subjects always wear a safety harness to avoid falling. In addition adults wear standard shoes (gymnastic booties) provided by the lab to avoid shoes effects. All subjects undergo measurement of leg length, body length and body weight in order to retrieve anthropometric parameters. In addition a standard physical examination is performed to get information about a subjects' muscle strength, balance and articular mobility of the hip, knee and ankle. Gait kinematic, kinetic, spatio-temporal and balance parameters are measured.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of varying degrees of hepatic function on the single dose PK of IV TAK-954.
This single-center study will be conducted in 3 phases: a single-ascending dose phase (up to 8 cohorts, 8 subjects/cohort), a multiple-dose phase (up to 5 cohorts, 9 subjects/cohort), and a midazolam drug-drug interaction phase (one cohort of 8 subjects).
A Phase I, single centre, open-label study to investigate the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety and tolerability of single and multiple twice daily doses of inhaled Aclidinium Bromide in healthy Chinese male and female subjects.
This study compares the immune response to the proposed biosimilar PF-06881894 and the US-approved Neulasta reference product. Subjects will receive 2 subcutaneous injections (6 milligrams [mg]) either 1 of the 2 study drugs. Subjects will receive the first dose on Day 1 of Period 1 and the second dose on Day 1 of Period 2. Pre-dose and serial post-dose assessments of immunogenicity will be conducted each of the two treatment periods. In addition, safety assessments will be conducted throughout the study.
This pilot study serves to investigate whether ProManna intake leads to any changes in baseline levels for oxidative stress markers. In addition, biomarker responses following oxidative stress challenge tests will be assessed in subjects taking ProManna versus placebo supplements.
This study will compare nicotine delivery and smoking behaviour in healthy subjects using several combustible cigarette prototypes containing different ingredients which are commonly used in the European Union.
This study is intended to estimate the absolute bioavailability of Glasdegib by comparison of the pharmacokinetic exposures following administration of an oral, single dose 100 mg tablet vs. an IV infusion of a 50 mg IV dose in the fasted state in a crossover fashion to healthy volunteers.
Introduction: new methods of evaluation of respiratory function, such as electrical impedance tomography (EIT) and optoelectronic plethysmography (OEP), have been used to measure regional pulmonary ventilation and the variation of tricompartmental volumes of the thoracic cavity, respectively. Analysis of these instruments during maximal respiratory maneuvers with monitoring of esophageal pressure may probably provide additional information on the physiological behavior of the cardiorespiratory system during EIT and OEP maneuvers. Objectives: To describe the physiological behavior of maximal respiratory maneuvers through the electrical impedance tomography and optoelectronic plethysmography in healthy men. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study involving 10 healthy male volunteers. The development of the method will take place in 3 stages. The first step corresponds to the characterization of the inspiratory and expiratory curves in the respiratory cycle generated by the impedance variation (ΔZ), the mobility of the chest wall and the pulmonary volume curve during maximal respiratory maneuvers. 2nd stage: verification of the correlation between the variables Step 3: Estimate the dislocated blood volume of the lung through previous analyzes.
This is a single-center, Phase 1, open label, randomized, two-sequence, two-period, crossover study to evaluate the drug-drug interaction potential between plazomicin and metformin in healthy subjects.
