Screening of Athletes
An observational study of Individual Differences and Motor Activities, run by Universitaire Ziekenhuizen KU Leuven at 1 site in Belgium.
Trial summary
Athletes have to participate in screenings in order to reduce injuries. Up-to-now most screenings are purely clinically based. Literature, however, indicates the importance of knowledge on deviant movement patterns as possible risk factors for injuries. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Screening of Athletes for Prevention of Injury and Optimisation of Performance
Athletes have to participate in screenings in order to reduce injuries. Up-to-now most screenings are purely clinically based. Literature, however, indicates the importance of knowledge on deviant movement patterns as possible risk factors for injuries. From this perspective, the current project aims to measure movement patterns, gait and running in young athletes to optimise training and prevent injuries.
2D- and 3d registration methods, force plate data and pressure plate data will be used to document the performance of the athletes.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Kinematic and kinetic data
Angles at different joints will be investigated with 3D movement analysis methods. Kinetic data (joint moments) will be calculated with 3D movement analysis methods.
Center of pressure measures will be calculated on the basis of force plate data.
Gait, running, jumps, postural balance will be investigated. Plantar pressure parameters will be calculated on the basis of plantar pressure measurements.
Measured: March - June 2014 (3 months)
Secondary outcomes (1)
2 D parameters
Video analysis methods (Dartfish) will be used to calculate joint angles during jumps
Measured: March - June 2014 (3 months)

Literature, however, indicates the importance of knowledge on deviant movement patterns as possible risk factors for injuries. From this perspective, the current project aims to measure movement patterns, gait and running in young athletes to optimise training and prevent injuries.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Individual Differences and Motor Activities, run by Universitaire Ziekenhuizen KU Leuven at 1 site in Belgium.
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 5 inclusion and 2 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 6 Nov 2018. 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 Belgium. 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?
Kinematic and kinetic data (time frame: March - June 2014 (3 months)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
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 6 Nov 2018.
