Filter by:The study is a prospective, single-center, comparative, cross-over study with within-subject control design. In the investigation an updated sound processor will be tested at compared to the CE marked Ponto 3 SuperPower sound processor (available on the market since December 2016) in order to establish marketing claim(s) on the updated sound processor. The performance of the two sound processors will be evaluated via speech and hearing tests, and patient reported outcomes.
The purpose of this proposed study, is the development and validation of EISA, a Self-report outcome measurement tool, for assessing the satisfaction of everyday functional needs, for consumers using Electronic Assistive Devices (EADs) as the primary means to complete Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs). The EISA outcome measure is proposed to be designed as a questionnaire that can be self or interview-administered to users of EADs. The development of EISA shall be modeled along the lines of development of the self-report outcome measure, Functional Mobility Assessment (FMA) (Kumar et al., 2013). The proposed tool EISA, would serve as a dynamic gage, for assessing perceived user function, related to using EADs for completing IADLs. The instrument is proposed to undergo systematic development in three phases. In phase 1, an initial pool of potential EISA items shall be generated, based on literature review data. In phase 2, content experts (clinician and EADs user) review panels, shall assess the initial pool of potential EISA items for further content validity. The objective of phase 3, would be a validation of the first iteration of EISA, by establishing reliability for test-retest administration and internal consistency, at acceptable levels, by 25-100 EADs users. Statistical analysis for test-retest reliability and internal consistency estimation shall be carried out in phase 3 of the study, using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 24 software.
This study seeks to address two key questions related to sensory dysregulation in Tourette syndrome (TS) and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD): 1) Is sensory dysregulation in OCD clinically distinct from that in TS? 2) To what extent does sensory dysregulation affect QOL in each of these disorders? Patients with TS, patients with OCD, and healthy controls will complete an online battery of validated questionnaires assessing sensory dysregulation, psychiatric symptoms, and quality of life.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of the sole of foot sensory education and electrical stimulation on proprioceptive and cortical senses in patients with acute hemiplegia.
This randomized, two‐armed, placebo-controlled, cross-over, controlled trial aimed to evaluate the effect of virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET) on dental anxiety, pain, and behaviour among children undergoing dental treatment under local anaesthesia. The null hypotheses were as follows: VRET has no effect on reducing dental anxiety and dental pain scores of participants; and there is no difference between subjective and objective measure scores of dental anxiety and pain when VRET and attention palcebo-controlled (APC) groups are used to reduce anxiety in children undergoing dental treatment with local anaesthesia.
There is no current research to support the efficacy of a combination of equine-assisted activities (EAA) and brain building activities to influence motor skill competencies in youth with neurodevelopmental disorders (ND). The primary objective of this study was to quantify changes in motor skill proficiency before and after 8 weeks of EAA and brain-building activities in youth with ND. A secondary objective was to quantify changes in motor skill proficiency before and after 1 year of EAA and brain-building activities in youth with ND.
The main purpose of MUSANX study is to highlight analgesic effectiveness of musicotherapy in post-surgical periodontal and implant; and to measure its per-operative anxiolytic effectiveness
The investigators hypothesize that wearing bilateral therapeutic vibrating devices before bed will result in positive changes in outcome measures related to sleep (e.g., sleep efficiency) in children who are sensitive to stimuli in their environment (aka sensory over responsiveness or SOR).
The aim of this case-controlled observational cross-sectional study is to investigate the test-retest reliability, validity and clinical utility of a rapid robotic assessment of finger proprioception using a passive gauge position matching tasks in MS and stroke subjects. Session 1 Informed consent Descriptive measures Session 2 Clinical testing Robotic assessment (3x) Session 3 Clinical testing Robotic assessment (3x)
The purpose of this study is to investigate the long-term effects of Walkasins® use on clinical and subject-reported outcomes of balance and gait function, quality of life, physical activity/participation, pain, and medication use in persons with peripheral neuropathy who experience balance problems.
