NCT ID: NCT06207084 Not yet recruiting - Physical Activity Clinical Trials

The Fit With Us Study

FITWITHUS
Start date: May 1, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this 32 week study is to use an innovative experimental design known as SMART (Sequential Multiple Assignment Randomized Trial), which will allow us to determine the best way to sequence the delivery of teleexercise (referred to as an adaptive intervention), combined with predictive analytics on participant adherence in a stepped program of physical activity interventions. All 257 participants will have access to a library of recorded video exercise content, and a weekly wellness article. Some participants will receive health coaching calls (1st randomization). Analytic data will be used to determine which participants are responding or not responding to the intervention. Participants not responding after 4 weeks will receive either live one on one or group exercise training (2nd randomization). After 8 weeks, the participant will receive only pre recorded exercise content and articles for another 8 weeks. After final surveys, participants will have open access to the website for another 16 weeks where we will passively observe their fitbit and website data. The study outcomes are: The effectiveness of the adaptive interventions Exploring mediating and moderating variables Sensitivity analysis of the predictive analytics

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.

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: 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.

Experimental Control Investigation of the Impact of Assistive Technology on the User-caregiver Dyad: a Multi-site Trial

ATUTI
Start date: June 2009
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of an assistive technology updating and tune up intervention on users and their caregivers. This intervention includes 4 components: - an in-residence assessment of the mobility preferences of the older person and his/her caregiver - a detailed review of forms of assistance, technological and human, that are currently being used - recommendations by an occupational therapist for possible changes in the older person's mobility assistive technology or assistance strategy - therapist negotiation of an mobility assistive technology updating and tune-up intervention plan with the individual and his or her caregiver. The intervention is provided to the immediate treatment following the administration of baseline measures and the delayed intervention group six weeks later, after an additional baseline measurement. The treatment is six weeks long and the follow-up is 26 weeks. Hypothesis 1: For community-dwelling older people, an intervention that increases the appropriateness of existing or new assistive technology(AT) for mobility or self-care will alter established patterns of human assistance, such that caregiver burden is reduced or eliminated. Hypothesis 2: At the same time, AT users will report less difficulty in mobility or self-care, as well as enhanced subjective well-being, and satisfaction with their modified personal assistance strategy. Hypothesis 3: Following the AT intervention, caregivers will report reduced physical and/or psychological demands and increased satisfaction with their caregiving-related activities compared with - the pre-intervention period - caregivers in a delayed intervention control group. Hypothesis 4: Decreased physical and/or psychological demands on helpers will be associated with increases in device users' satisfaction with their personal assistance strategies.

NCT ID: NCT00435188 Completed - Aging Clinical Trials

Life 2: Improving Fitness and Function in Elders

Project LIFE
Start date: November 2004
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a 12-month physical activity counseling program, compared to usual care, improves physical performance in a sample of older veterans. The primary physical performance outcome is change in gait speed.

NCT ID: NCT00158119 Completed - Aging Clinical Trials

A Comparison of Weighted Vest Exercise and Strength Training

Start date: July 2001
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to evaluate two types of exercise therapy designed to improve muscle power and mobility: weighted vest exercise vs. progressive resistance training.
