Functional Mobility clinical trials

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.

Pilates Method in People With HAM/TSP

Start date: February 20, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Individuals with HTLV-1 secondary myelopathy (HAM/TSP) may have motor and sensory alterations, which may result in reduced functional performance and consequent risk of falls. The aim of the study is to verify the therapeutic effect of a Pilates exercise program on functional performance and risk of falls, when compared to task-oriented training, of people with HAM / TSP. This is a randomized, crossover clinical trial performed with individuals with HAM / TSP who are attended at a referral center who is able to perform gait whether or not to use a walking aid. Amputees, with psychiatric disorders, rheumatic or orthopedic diseases and other associated neurological disorders, which could influence the balance and functional mobility, as well as pregnant women, were excluded. Participants will be submitted to the initial evaluation of functional mobility, balance, gait balance, fatigue, gait endurance, sphincter changes and questioned about the occurrence of falls in the last three months and will answer a semi-structured questionnaire about their conjugality. They will be allocated randomly to two groups. One will perform the Pilates Method protocol and the other task-oriented training. The first group, called test-control group (GTC), will initiate the protocol with exercises of the Pilates method; the control-test group (GCT) will initiate the task-oriented training protocol. A p <0.05 will be considered a statistically significant difference.
