Mobility Limitation Clinical Trial
Official title:
Impact of Sling Use on Functional Mobility in a Geriatric Population

Is FDA regulated | No |
Health authority | |
Study type | Interventional |
Shoulder slings are commonly worn after shoulder surgery. In geriatric patients, painstaking care is taken to reduce any factors that may increase the chance of experiencing a fall. Currently, it is not understood if wearing a sling affects someone's general gait and balance.

Primary | Tinetti Test | Performance-oriented mobility assessment: Components are balance & gait. Patient will be seated in a hard, armless chair and be assessed for balance with all of the following: sitting balance, rising from chair, attempting to rise, immediate standing balance (first 5 sec), standing balance, balance while being nudged, balance with eyes closed, turning 360 degrees, and sitting down. Scored out of 16. The gait portion assesses hesitancy, step length & height, foot clearance, step symmetry, step continuity, path, trunk, and walking time. Scored out of 12. Total score out of 28.
If score is =18, risk of falls is high. If score is 19-23, risk of falls is moderate. If score is =24, risk of falls is low. |
30 seconds | |
Primary | Timed Up & Go Test | Timed stand, walk, and sit test to assess mobility | 30 seconds | |
Primary | Edmonton Frail Scale | Global assessment of patient vulnerability: Domains to be assessed are cognition (clock drawing), general health status (hospitalizations in last year & describing own health), functional independence (how many ADL's require help), social support, medication use (5 or more on a regular basis, adherence to regimen), nutrition (weight loss), mood, continence, and functional performance (timed rising from chair and walking). Scored out of 17, higher scores associated with higher frailty.
Scoring : 0 - 5 = Not Frail; 6 - 7 = Vulnerable; 8 - 9 = Mild Frailty; 10-11 = Moderate Frailty; 12-17 = Severe Frailty; |
