About this study

Official title: Intensity of a Task-Oriented Exercise Program for Optimizing Walking Competency in Stroke Survivors

In an observational study, the energy consumption of stroke individuals during performing the structured, progressive task-oriented exercise program for walking rehabilitation will be measured in order to confirm the intensity demand in the range of moderate to vigorous.

Read the detailed description

Community reintegration is often significantly affected in the majority of stroke individuals. To fulfill the requirements of a proper home exercise program in walking rehabilitation for stroke victims, investigators structured the task-oriented exercise program with minimal supervision. This exercise program is structured with challenging walking-related activities based on motor learning principle and Gentile's progression of the motor task. The strengthening and balance components, aerobic conditioning and walking adaptability are composed of an exercise program to optimize walking ability. There are sixty minutes last ten exercises in each three progression steps of this exercise program. For the training effect to occur, each step of exercise program is designed by increasing demand of intensity in the range from moderate to vigorous. To confirming progressive energy demand, the purpose of this study is to investigate the intensity demand of three steps task- oriented home exercise program on walking competency in individual post stroke.

What participants receive

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

  • Structured, Progressive, Task-oriented exercise programProcedure or surgery

    The intervention is walking related task-oriented exercise program with three progressive steps at moderate to high intensity. Each step consists of 60 minutes last ten tasks to optimize walking function of stroke individuals.

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of Oxygen Consumption (VO2rate) (ml/kg/min)

    The amount of oxygen consumption of participants will be measured by using Oxycon Mobile spirometer (OM) on 3 occasions: during performing step I,II and III of exercise program with 1-2 days apart between each step.

    Measured: 1 week

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Heart Rate

    Heart rate of participants will be measured on 3 occasions: during performing step I,II and III of exercise program with 1-2 days apart between each step

    Measured: 1 week

  2. Metabolic Equivalents (METs) [VO2max (ml.kg-1.m-1)/VO2rest(ml.kg-1.m-1)]

    METs is a way to express the energy cost of activity, calculated by using the formula of VO2/VO2rest on 3 occasions:during performing step I,II and III of exercise program with 1-2 days apart between each step.

    Measured: 1 week

  3. Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion scale (RPE)

    The feeling of how strenuous a given exercise to a patient related to the amount of effort exerted is rated by the categorical-ratio scale of 0 to 10 RPE on 3 occasions: during performing step I,II and III of exercise program with 1-2 days apart between each step.

    Measured: 1 week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Stroke, run by Mahidol University at 1 site in Thailand.

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 4 inclusion and 5 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 26 Jun 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 Thailand. 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?

Rate of Oxygen Consumption (VO2rate) (ml/kg/min) (time frame: 1 week). 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 26 Jun 2017.
