About this study

Official title: Effects of a Single Nutrient Supplementation on Dynamic Stability in Community Dwelling Older Adults

The purpose of this study is to determine whether specific nutrient supplementation can improve dynamic stability in older adults.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of a single nutrient dietary supplement on dynamic stability in an older population. Dynamic stability, or walking stability, will be assessed with accelerometers while subjects are walking on a flat surface for about 60 seconds. Dynamic stability will be defined by the maximum Lyapunov exponent (maxLE), Floquet multiplier, or motor control timing, change from baseline. Postural stability will also be measured in a still and standing subject, with foot placement standardized on a force plate, and with the subject looking in the forward direction with arms by their sides. Two visual conditions will be given: eyes-open (EO) and eyes-closed (EC). Each measurement will last for 60 seconds and will be repeated twice for each condition. A three-minute rest will be provided between measurements.

What is being measured

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

  1. Dynamic Stability, change from baseline

    Dynamic stability will be defined by the maximum Lyapunov exponent (maxLE), Floquet multiplier, or motor control timing, change from baseline. Dynamic stability, or walking stability, will be assessed with accelerometers while subjects are walking on a flat surface for about 60 seconds.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Postural Stability, change from baseline

    Postural stability will be measured in a still and standing subject, with foot placement standardized on a force plate, and with the subject looking in the forward direction with arms by their sides. Two visual conditions will be given: eyes-open (EO) and eyes-closed (EC). Each measurement will last for 60 seconds and will be repeated twice for each condition. A three minute rest will be provided between measurements.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Gait Speed, change from baseline

    Participants will perform two bouts of walking at their usual pace along a flat surface. The two walks will be aggregated and average gait speed derived. Stride length, base width, sway will also be measured.

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Handgrip Strength, change from baseline

    Isometric handgrip strength will be measured with a hand dynamometer embedded with a strain gauge.

    Measured: 6 months

  4. Timed get-up and go (TUG), change from baseline

    Participants will be asked to stand from a seated position, walk 3 meters at their usual pace, turn around, walk back to the chair, and sit down.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing (1S,3Z)-3-[(2E)-2-[(1R,3aS,7aR)-7a-methyl-1-[(2R)-6-methylheptan-2-yl]-2,3,3a,5,6,7-hexahydro-1H-inden-4-ylidene]ethylidene]-4-methylidenecyclohexan-1-ol in people with Aging, run by Arizona State University at 1 site in United States.

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 9 inclusion and 25 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Feb 2023. 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 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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Dynamic Stability, change from baseline (time frame: 6 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 1 Feb 2023.
