NCT ID: NCT03071562 Completed - Depression Clinical Trials

A Randomized Pilot Trial Evaluating the Impact of a Yoga Intervention on Cognition in Older Adults Infected With HIV

Start date: January 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Approximately 50% of people living with HIV (and as many as 80% over the age of 50) have difficulties with cognitive functions such as memory and thinking that can have a profound negative impact on activities of daily living and quality of life. Problems with memory and thinking are also associated with forgetting to take anti-retroviral drugs and experiencing challenges to balance, walking and mental health (anxiety and depression). There is increasing evidence that, in the general population, exercise has positive effects on cognition, physical functioning and mental health. Despite the recognition of multiple therapeutic benefits of exercise, little attention has been paid to its possible effects on cognition in people living with HIV. The purpose of the proposed pilot study is to compare the effects of a 12-week, randomly assigned, community-based yoga-mindfulness intervention on cognition, balance, walking, mental health and quality of life in 30 people >35 years of age living with HIV in the Halifax area. Yoga is of particular interest because it encompasses not only the physical but also spiritual, emotional, and mental dimensions of life. As such, it has tremendous potential to help stave off some of the devastating consequences of HIV infection.

NCT ID: NCT03065959 Terminated - Mobility Limitation Clinical Trials

A Study to Assess the Anti-fatigability Effect of CK-2127107 in Elderly Male and Female Subjects With Limitations in Mobility

Start date: June 28, 2017
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of CK-2127107 versus placebo on skeletal muscle fatigue assessed as change from baseline versus 14 days of treatment in sum of peak torque during isokinetic knee extensions. This study will also assess the effects of CK-2127107 on physical performance via a short physical performance battery (SPPB), stair-climb test and 6 minute walk test.

NCT ID: NCT03032341 Completed - Mobility Limitation Clinical Trials

Mobility Assessment Using Surrogates in Elderly Participants

MAT
Start date: January 17, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

The purpose of this research study is to find out if mobility (the ability to move around) can be reliably assessed by having the family or care giver caregiver take a video based test for the patient. If this study shows that mobility can be assessed by family or caregiver, this information can be used in situations where mobility cannot be measured directly in patients. A total of 60 patients and 60 family/caregivers at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center will take part in this study. Patients physical function will be assessed using a test that uses short movie clips to assess mobility. Patients will be asked to watch ten short (~10 seconds each) movie clips that describe various tasks such as climbing up hills or walking and estimate if they can perform the tasks. The familymember/caregiver will be also asked to answer the questions on behalf of the patient. The family member/caregiver will be asked to return to take the same test in the next 1-14 days. The patient will be in the study for one day. There is no intervention, this is observational.

NCT ID: NCT02947230 Completed - Mobility Limitation Clinical Trials

Evaluating the Impact of the McMaster Optimal Aging Portal on Physical Mobility Outcomes

Start date: March 7, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The McMaster Optimal Aging Portal (the Portal) was launched in 2014 to increase public access to trustworthy health information. The Portal helps readers to access evidence-based resources; identify trustworthy messages; and understand scientific findings. Now the investigators want to know whether using the Portal changes what people know and do to stay healthy and mobile. This project will help us to: 1. Understand how middle aged and older adults (age 40+) use the Portal to obtain information about maintaining and improving mobility 2. Evaluate whether use of the Portal results in a change in knowledge about maintaining and improving mobility, or change in lifestyle behaviours that may help maintain or improve mobility with age.

NCT ID: NCT02913976 Completed - Mobility Limitation Clinical Trials

Changes on Pain and Range of Motion by the Use of Kinesio Taping in Patients Diagnosed With Cervical Pain

Start date: October 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The aim of this study is to demonstrate that the application of Kinesio Taping on a myofascial trigger point in the trapezius muscle able to cause a decrease of the pain and an increase of the cervical range of motion in patients diagnosed with cervical pain.

NCT ID: NCT02913963 Completed - Mobility Limitation Clinical Trials

Changes on Pain and Range of Motion by the Use of Kinesio Taping in Subjects With Myofascial Trigger Point

Start date: October 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The aim of this study is to demonstrate that the application of Kinesio Taping on a myofascial trigger point in the trapezius muscle able to cause a decrease of the trigger point pain and an increase of the cervical range of motion in asymptomatic subjects

NCT ID: NCT02901444 Completed - Mobility Limitation Clinical Trials

Observational Study on Changing the Quality of Life in Daily Life Activities After Clinical Approach Positioning the Wheelchair

Start date: March 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Stemming from the common practice of attribution of the technical helps in the posture in Canada, the multidisciplinary approach of positioning develops in France for more than 10 years old. To date, no observatory study was led to estimate the impact of such consultation in daily activities, an essential objective conditioning the observance and the acceptance of assistive devices. This study wants to estimate the impact through modification of WHOM scale.

NCT ID: NCT02819011 Completed - Cancer Clinical Trials

OHI--Randomized Control Trial to Evaluate Efficacy, Acceptability, and Perception of Benefit of an Innovative Custom AFO

Start date: May 2016
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The investigators propose a randomized control trial to evaluate long term effects and effectiveness of Moore Balance Brace (MBB) ankle foot orthoses (AFO) in reducing risk of falling in older adults. Primary Endpoints • Characterize the impact of MBB AFO on balance, gait, risk of falling, frailty status, and adverse events Secondary Endpoints • Characterize the Impact of MBB AFO on spontaneous daily physical activities • Characterize the feasibility of the MBB AFO device on patient adherence, acceptability, user-friendliness, and perception of benefit for daily usage

NCT ID: NCT02702037 Completed - Malnutrition Clinical Trials

Older Person's Exercise and Nutrition Study

OPEN
Start date: March 1, 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The novelty with the OPEN study is to evaluate the effects of the simple sit-to-stand exercise during routine care, in combination with an oral protein-rich supplement, on functional status and independence in frail older persons. In this study we will also explore the experiences among older persons in the intervention group as wells as among staff of promoting the sit-to-stand exercise and nutritional supplement to gain knowledge for implementation as a daily routine in nursing homes across Sweden. Hypothesis The main hypothesis of the OPEN study is that physical exercise performed as a daily routine along with an oral protein-rich supplement, will result in improved functional status and independence in everyday life activities and thereby enhance health-related quality of life in older persons living in nursing homes. The primary outcome measure for functional status will be the number of sit-to-stands that the participant is able to complete in 30 seconds. Specific aims Aim I: To study the effects of the sit-to-stand exercise combined with an oral protein-rich supplement on functional and nutritional status, and health-related quality of life, and the frequency and incidence of falls, pressure ulcers and incontinence in older persons living in nursing homes. Furthermore, the cost effectiveness of the combination of the sit to stand exercise and oral protein-rich supplement vs. the control group will also be examined. Aim II: To describe the older persons' perceptions of daily being offered to conduct the sit-to-stand exercise and to drink the nutritional supplement. Aim III: To describe staff's perceptions of supporting the sit-to-stand exercise and the nutritional supplement with older persons living in nursing homes.
