What is being measured

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

  1. The changes in step length asymmetry after prolonged effort in running on a treadmill.

    Step length will be recorded by the v-gait analysis system during the running test for 20 seconds at certain points of the run: minute 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30. If the subject will ask to stop the run, 20 seconds will be recorded prior to the termination of the run.

    Measured: Several measurements during 20-30 minutes run.

  2. The changes in contact time asymmetry after prolonged effort in running on a treadmill.

    Contact time will be recorded by the v-gait analysis system during the running test for 20 seconds at certain points of the run: minute 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30. If the subject will ask to stop the run, 20 seconds will be recorded prior to the termination of the run.

    Measured: Several measurements during 30 minutes run.

  3. The changes in flight time asymmetry after prolonged effort in running on a treadmill.

    Flight time will be recorded by the v-gait analysis system during the running test for 20 seconds at certain points of the run: minute 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30. If the subject will ask to stop the run, 20 seconds will be recorded prior to the termination of the run.

    Measured: Several measurements during 30 minutes run.

  4. The changes in hip angles asymmetry after prolonged effort in running on a treadmill.

    Hip angles will be recorded by the v-gait analysis system during the running test for 20 seconds at certain points of the run: minute 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30. If the subject will ask to stop the run, 20 seconds will be recorded prior to the termination of the run.

    Measured: Several measurements during 30 minutes run.

  5. The changes in knee angles asymmetry after prolonged effort in running on a treadmill.

    Knee angles will be recorded by the v-gait analysis system during the running test for 20 seconds at certain points of the run: minute 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30. If the subject will ask to stop the run, 20 seconds will be recorded prior to the termination of the run.

    Measured: Several measurements during 30 minutes run.

  6. The changes in vertical ground reaction force asymmetry after prolonged effort in running. on a treadmill

    Vertical ground reaction force will be recorded by the v-gait analysis system during the running test for 20 seconds at certain points of the run: minute 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30. If the subject will ask to stop the run, 20 seconds will be recorded prior to the termination of the run.

    Measured: Several measurements during 30 minutes run.

  7. The changes in ground reaction impulse asymmetry after prolonged effort in running on a treadmill.

    Vertical ground reaction impulse will be recorded by the v-gait analysis system during the running test for 20 seconds at certain points of the run: minute 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30. If the subject will ask to stop the run, 20 seconds will be recorded prior to the termination of the run.

    Measured: Several measurements during 30 minutes run.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Amputation, Traumatic, run by Sheba Medical Center at 1 site in Israel.

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 3 inclusion and 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Oct 2017. 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 Israel. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

The changes in step length asymmetry after prolonged effort in running on a treadmill. (time frame: Several measurements during 20-30 minutes run.). The study lists 7 primary outcomes in all. 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 17 Oct 2017.
