NCT ID: NCT02298374 Withdrawn - Mobility Limitation Clinical Trials

Evaluation of Homecare Reablement, the Trondheim Model

Start date: November 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The aim is to evaluate a model of home-based rehabilitation. The intervention targets elder persons who receive homecare services, but still are relatively independent in most activities of daily living. The model focuses on early identification of decline in function and intervention in the home environment through close cooperation between the participant, homecare services and therapists.

NCT ID: NCT02077049 Completed - Geriatric Disorder Clinical Trials

Are Serious Games Promoting Mobility an Attractive Alternative to Conventional Self-training for Elderly People?

Start date: February 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The main objective of this study is to determine whether elderly people in rehabilitation setting show higher adherence to self-training when using computer-based-learning games (i.e. the so called serious games) than when performing conventional exercises. Secondly the study explores to which extend balance and mobility performances vary according to the mode of self-training. The primary study hypothesis is that elderly people practice longer and more frequently with serious games than with a conventional exercise booklet. The secondary hypothesis is that patients experience a significant higher improvement in their balance capacity by using serious games compared to patients performing conventional exercises.

NCT ID: NCT02065284 Completed - Multiple Sclerosis Clinical Trials

Effects of a Home Based Walking Program Using Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis

Start date: February 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation (RAS) is a music therapy technique that provides rhythmic auditory cues (like a beat) to help improve patients' movements, especially when walking. The purpose of this study is to compare the effect on walking performance of a home based walking program (HBWP) with Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation (RAS), to that of a HBWP without RAS, or to RAS without walking exercise. A second part of this study will assess the effects of Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation (RAS) on brain activity in patients with Multiple Sclerosis while performing mental imagery of walking.

NCT ID: NCT01988233 Completed - Mobility Limitation Clinical Trials

BAILA: Being Active, Increasing Latinos Healthy Aging

BAILA
Start date: March 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Investigators propose a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to test the efficacy of the revised 4-month BAILAMOS© program for improving lifestyle PA and health outcomes (physical and cognitive function, self-reported functional limitations, disability) in sedentary older Latinos at risk for disability relative to an attention control group.

NCT ID: NCT01844375 Completed - Clinical trials for Colorectal Neoplasms

A Trial of Preoperative CHO Drinks on Postoperative Walking Capacity in Colorectal Surgery

Start date: May 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This prospective randomized controlled study is designed to investigate whether preoperative oral carbohydrate loading improves postoperative walking performance, a surrogate indicator for overall functional recovery, in patients undergoing colorectal surgery as measured by 2-minute and 6-minute walk test. The secondary outcomes are postoperative insulin resistance measured with plasma insulin and glucose concentrations. The tertiary outcomes are duration of hospital stay, patients satisfaction during staying in the hospital and morbidity measured as postoperative complications.

NCT ID: NCT01774201 Completed - Multiple Sclerosis Clinical Trials

Respiratory Function and Walking Capacity in Multiple Sclerosis

Start date: September 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic progressive neurological disease. Respiratory dysfunction due to weakness in the respiratory musculature has been described in MS. This leads to increased morbidity and mortality in late stages of the disease. It is possible that respiratory dysfunction influence physical fitness in earlier stages as well. Walking disability and fatigue causes significant impact on health in patients with MS, even in earlier stages. The hypothesis is that there is a relationship between respiratory function, walking capacity and fatigue and that daily deep breathing exercise during two months will improve respiratory function, walking capacity and fatigue.

NCT ID: NCT01740635 Completed - Difficulty Walking Clinical Trials

EPIC WheelS Feasibility Study

Start date: March 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Many older adults have difficulty walking. A wheelchair can improve their participation but older adults typically receive little wheelchair training. Structured training programs are effective but rely on multiple 1:1 sessions with a skilled clinician. EPIC WheelS combines 2 brief training sessions and a 4-week home training program delivered using a portable computer tablet and monitored by an expert trainer. This study investigates the feasibility and potential for using EPIC WheelS with older adult novice wheelchair users in Vancouver and Winnipeg, measuring the impact on wheelchair skill, safety and confidence compared to a control group receiving only cognitive training. Hypotheses: The investigators expect that the feasibility outcomes will be sufficiently robust to support conducting a subsequent multi-site RCT. The investigators also expect the EPIC WheelS training program will have a significant treatment effect with improvement in wheelchair mobility, compared to a control group.

NCT ID: NCT01740505 Completed - Mobility Limitation Clinical Trials

HealthySteps: Exercise for Older Adults With Mobility Limitation

HealthySteps
Start date: January 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study will compare three different exercise programs in older adults who report difficulty walking and will determine if the programs improve walking.

NCT ID: NCT01690910 Terminated - Clinical trials for Mobility Limitations

Effects of Mobility Devices on Nursing Compliance With Mobility Protocols

EMS
Start date: September 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This is a 10-week pilot study for a randomized non-blinded controlled clinical trial to assess whether use of the Rifton Gait Trainer will improve the incidence of mobilization of critically ill ventilator dependent patients in the intensive care units (ICUs) and improve important patient outcomes. The pilot study is designed to assess the feasibility and logistics of doing a study of this nature in the ICU; it will also provide the means to obtain estimates of outcome effect sizes, number of repeated measures, time between repeated measures, and intra-subject and intra-unit correlations, to be used for sample size calculations.

NCT ID: NCT01647802 Completed - Mobility Limitation Clinical Trials

Cross-over Study of Three Modular Devices for Aid in Patient Standing and Transfer

VTT
Start date: September 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The main objective of this study is to evaluate via a physiological analysis of the movements involved in standing, the level of forward flexion of the spine (in cm on the horizontal axis) obtained with the apparatus "Tina" and to compare levels obtained in the same patients with stander/transfer devices "Turner" and "Vertic'Easy".
