Trial summary

The goal of the PRIORITI-MTF study is to help determine whether a new type of custom designed brace, called the IDEO ™ along with a physical therapy program, called Return to Run, improves physical function. This brace was developed for wounded warriors who wanted to return to an active lifestyle. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Patient Response to an Integrated Orthotic and Rehabilitation Initiative for Traumatic Injuries for the Military Treatment Facilities (PRIORITI-MTF)

The primary objective of this study is to examine the benefits (and cost-benefits) of an integrated orthotic and rehabilitation program that incorporates the Intrepid Dynamic Exoskeletal Orthosis (IDEO) and the Return to Run (RTR) physical therapy regimen, but designed for scalability in the broader military environment (i.e. beyond San Antonio Military Medical Center where the program was developed)

Conditions: Leg Injuries, Trauma
Being tested: IDEO brace
Keywords: Major extremity trauma, wounded warriors, IDEO, return to run
Medical subject headings: Leg Injuries, Wounds and Injuries

What is being measured

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

Four Square Step Test
The 4 step square test is an objective measure of agility. It is measured in seconds, with a range of > 0 ~ +∞. Lower values represent better outcomes. (This measure is part of the "change in functional performance" composite measure calculated using the mean of participant's score across several objective performance measures of agility, strength and power, speed, and postural stability).
Measured: Baseline

Veterans RAND 12 Item Health Survey - Physical Component Summary
The Veterans RAND 12 Item Health Survey (VR-12) is a participant reported global health measure assessing the participant's overall perspective of their health status. Responses are summarized into 2 scores, a Physical Component Score (PCS) (range 0-100) and a Mental Component Score (MCS) (range 0-100). The 12 items correspond to eight principal physical and mental health domains including general health perceptions; physical functioning; role limitations due to physical and emotional problems; bodily pain; energy-fatigue, social functioning and mental health. The United States population average PCS and MCS are both 50 points. The United States population standard deviation is 10 points. Higher scores indicate better outcomes.

(This measure is part of the "change in functional performance" composite measure calculated using the mean of participant's score across several objective performance measures of agility, strength and power, speed, and postural stability).

Short Musculoskeletal Function Assessment (SMFA) - Overall Dysfunction
Time frame: 6 months
The Short Musculoskeletal function Assessment (SMFA) is a participant reported assessment of the impact a musculoskeletal condition on individual function and daily activities.

Veterans RAND 12 Item Health Survey (VR-12) - Physical Component Summary (PCS)
Time frame: 6 months
The Veterans RAND 12 Item Health Survey (VR-12) is a participant reported global health measure assessing the participant's overall perspective of their health status. Responses are summarized into 2 scores, a Physical Component Score (PCS) (range 0-100) and a Mental Component Score (MCS) (range 0-100). The 12 items correspond to eight principal physical and mental health domains including general health perceptions; physical functioning; role limitations due to physical and emotional problems; bodily pain; energy-fatigue, social functioning and mental health. The United States population average PCS and MCS are both 50 points. The United States population standard deviation is 10 points. Higher scores indicate better outcomes.

The Veterans RAND 12 Item Health Survey (VR-12) is a participant reported global health measure assessing the participant's overall perspective of their health status. Responses are summarized into 2 scores, a Physical Component Score (PCS) and a Mental Component Score (MCS). Scored on a 5 point Likert scale, the 12 items correspond to eight principal physical and mental health domains including general health perceptions; physical functioning; role limitations due to physical and emotional problems; bodily pain; energy-fatigue, social functioning and mental health. The United States population averages 50 points on both the PCS and MCS (scores may range from 0-100 on each). The United States population standard deviation is 10 points. Higher scores indicate better outcomes.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 8 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 2 Jul 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 14 Oct 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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