Clinical Trial Summary

Individuals with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities (PIMD) have extensive health problems and need for personal assistance throughout the day. Few physical- and health promoting activities are available for them and among the activities, few have been scientifically evaluated. Specialized water dance intervention (SWAN) is a new method developed to relieve discomfort and promote physical wellbeing among people with PIMD. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effects of SWAN on stress, spasticity, pain, alertness, wellbeing and social interaction among individuals with PIMD.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the effects of SWAN on stress, spasticity, pain, alertness, wellbeing and social interaction among individuals with PIMD. Prospective randomized controlled intervention study in which the effects of SWAN are tested in a two-group cross-over design with pre-, under- and post-measurements. The study is conducted as a multicenter study with four participating county councils/regions I Sweden (Varmland County Council, Region Orebro County, Region Ostergotland and Region Gavleborg). The SWAN intervention is given once a week for 3 months (12 occasions). Each SWAN session is 45 minutes and is led by two SWAN leaders.

Intervention

Behavioral:
Specialized water dance intervention
Group activity in a warm pool (32-34 °C) led by two SWAN leaders. During each session, nine songs are played and the participants, assisted by a support person, perform dance movements rhythmically to the mood of the music. The songs are chosen to stimulate different movement patterns and to emphasize different emotions.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Other Experience of implementation of study intervention Interviews with assistants, intervention leaders and head of organisations. 2 years
Primary Stress Cortisol in saliva 14 weeks
Primary Spasticity The Modified Ashworth Scale is used to assess muscle tone. The flexor muscles of the elbows and the extensor muscles of the knees on the participants left and right side are tested. The muscle tone is scored on a 6-point scale from 0 (No increase in muscle tone) to 5 (Affected part(s) is(are) rigid in flexion or extension). The higher the score, the more resistance to passive movement. 14 weeks
Primary Wellbeing: Observed (questionnaire) The questionnaire includes items on spasticity, anxiety, pain, social interaction and joy. The support person assess the patients' level of spasticity, anxiety, pain, social interaction and joy three times: before, during and after each session. Each item is assessed on a five-point Likert scale, from 'not at all present' (1) to 'present all the time' (5). The research group has developed the questionnaire. 12 weeks
Primary Quality of Life assessment: EQ5D Quality of life was assessed using the proxy version of the EuroQol Five Dimension (EQ5D). The EQ5D is divided into five items: mobility, self-care, Daily activities, pain and discomfort, anxiety and depression. The items are scored on a 5 point scale, as well as a visual analogue scale ranging from 0 (worst imaginable health) to 100 (best imaginable health). 14 weeks
Secondary Behavior Video assisted observation. Each person will be video recorded in the pool on three occasions (1st, 6th and 12th session). The responsible intervention leader and the project coordinator perform the video recording. From the video recordings, assessments are made of the patient's expression of emotions and social interaction, through a structured assessment protocol developed by the research group. The video material is transferred to the computer and encoded according to a pre-established protocol using a computer program-coding tool. 12 weeks
Secondary Goal attainment We use the Goal Attainment Scaling (GAS), which provides an individualized, criterion-referenced measure of change. The GAS procedure involves: (a) defining a unique set of goals for each participant, (b) specifying a range of possible outcomes for each goal (on a scale recommended to contain five levels, from -2 (the participants baseline level before the intervention) to +2(represent much better than expected after the intervention) and (c) using the scale to evaluate the participants change after a specified intervention period. 14 weeks
Secondary Muscular pain Observed (video).Each person will be video recorded in the pool on three occasions (1st, 6th and 12th session). The video recording is performed by the responsible intervention leader and the project coordinator. From the video recordings, assessments are made of the patient's expression of pain, through a structured assessment protocol developed by the research group. The video material is transferred to the computer and encoded according to a pre-established protocol using a computer program-coding tool. 12 weeks
