About this study

Official title: Motion Analysis in Patients With Hallux Rigidus Before and After Different Types of Surgery

The aim was to investigate with a multi-segmental foot model the kinetic and kinematic in patients with a hallux rigidus, before and after different type of surgery.

Read the detailed description

None of the patients received surgery BECAUSE of the study. We have only performed motion analysis in patients, who were already scheduled for one of the described type of surgery (prospective group) or who already previously received one the type of surgery (retrospective group).

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Motion AnalysisOther

    3D Motion analysis with retroflective markers on the skin (Vicon camera system) of the foot and lower leg (kinematics), walking over force plate (kinetics) and pressure plates (plantar pressure distribution).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change of hallux range of motion

    Measured: baseline (=1 day before surgery) and 1 y. after surgery for the prospective groups, more than one year after surgery for the retrospective groups

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hallux Rigidus, run by University Hospital Heidelberg at 1 site in Germany.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Mar 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 Germany. 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?

Change of hallux range of motion (time frame: baseline (=1 day before surgery) and 1 y. after surgery for the prospective groups, more than one year after surgery for the retrospective groups). 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 NCT01804491, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 5 Mar 2013.
