Transfer Effects of Stationary Bicycle Perturbation Training on Older

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The Israeli research group of this trial has developed the Perturbation Stationary Bicycle Robotics (PerStBiRo) system that can challenge balance while sitting. With this system, unexpected perturbations can be provided under controlled and safe conditions. Within the BiPerAge-project it will be evaluated if 20 training sessions (20 minutes each) on the PerStBiRo system will lead to transfer effects on safe cycling skills of community-dwelling older adults (age 65 years and older). The ability to cycle safely will be tested prior and after the training period using a cycling course, which consists of variant tasks requiring motor and cognitive skills.

Clinical Trial Description

Cycling is a form of physical activity that is positively associated with health and functional benefits. However, there is a significant association between increased bicycle use and bicycle accidents with higher risks of severe injuries especially for older adults. This could be partly explained by deterioration of the balance control during aging. On the one hand, training of balance-challenging situations in daily traffic situation is hardly possible under "real-world" conditions for safety reasons. On the other hand, the use of a stationary bicycle alone has not been shown to specifically train balance skills and cycling competence. To overcome this issue the Israeli research group of this trial has developed the Perturbation Stationary Bicycle Robotics (PerStBiRo) system that can challenge balance while riding in a controlled and safe condition. The main and overarching objective of our proposed project is to investigate transfer effects of a training on the PerStBiRo system with perturbation (PerTSBR - intervention group) on cycling competence of community-dwelling older adults (age 65 years and older) in comparison to a training on the same system without perturbation (TSBR - active control group). The cycling competence as our primary outcome will be measured by a standardized cycle course before and after the 3 months intervention period. The cycle course, which is validated in a recent study (SiFAr) of our research group, consists of various tasks requiring motor and cognitive skills related to traffic situations in daily life. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
