Trial summary

Several studies exist on patient performance in drive simulators especially around and after surgery. Recommendations concerning the ability to drive preoperatively are based on these studies, which generated their data using drive simulators. However, in all the datasets driving performance remains highly individual. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Predictability of Braking Performance in Patients With Degenerative Disease of the Hip Joint or With Total Hip Arthroplasty

Several studies exist on patient performance in drive simulators especially around and after surgery. Recommendations concerning the ability to drive preoperatively are based on these studies, which generated their data using drive simulators. However, in all the datasets driving performance remains highly individual. Since a drive simulator is not readily available in normal general practitioner surgeries it would be helpful to have convenient clinical tests to evaluate a patients individual ability to perform an emergency stop. This study aims at evaluating different possibilities how such performance might be predicted. Patients with hip osteoarthritis and patients who have received total hip arthroplasty are tested clinically and their results are compared with the gold standard experiment - a drive simulator.

What is being measured

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

  1. Correlation of an index of manual reaction time combined with functional hip tests and braking performance

    Evaluation of degree of correlation of braking performance (total brake response time) and clinical testing of hip functionality in patients with hip osteoarthritis or total hip arthroplasty. The measure is a composite measure of multiple different tests. If a sufficient correlation between the composite measure and braking performance is observed a regression model will be developed.

    One time point of evaluation for each participant.

    Measured: Osteoarthritis group: cross sectional at consultation, Total hip arthroplasty group: cross-sectional - from 5 weeks postoperatively until 400 months postoperatively, at consultation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Braking and functionality in people with Osteoarthritis and Total Hip Arthroplasty, run by University Hospital Tuebingen 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 5 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 Feb 2016. 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?

Correlation of an index of manual reaction time combined with functional hip tests and braking performance (time frame: Osteoarthritis group: cross sectional at consultation, Total hip arthroplasty group: cross-sectional - from 5 weeks postoperatively until 400 months postoperatively, at consultation). 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 NCT02308813, 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 2 Feb 2016.
