Read the detailed description

The purpose of this preliminary substudy to the parent study "Aerobic Exercise Intervention for Knee Osteoarthritis" is to determine the repeatability and reproducibility of various measurement techniques. The study will enroll healthy volunteers. All participants will receive x-rays and MRI examinations of the knees. Walking characteristics will be evaluated in a Motion Analysis Lab; this will involve taping reflective markers to participants' skin and having them walk on a level surface and up and down stairs. All participants will be evaluated two times, with a 1-week period between evaluations.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 May 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Day-to-day and inter/intra examiner repeatability of the techniques to be used in NIH grant R01 AR48768 (time frame: Measured two times, with a 1-week period between evaluations). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00581841, which also lists 4 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 May 2013.
