Trial summary

Introduction: Total hip arthroplasty has been increasingly used as a means of treating the various pathologies of this joint. However, this surgical reconstruction initially brings important deficits in subjects submitted, such as: inhibition of muscle strength, limitation of range of motion and functional deficit.

About this study

Official title: Impact on Muscle Strength, Quality of Life and Functionality in Individuals Submitted to Hip Arthroplasty

Introduction: Total hip arthroplasty has been increasingly used as a means of treating the various pathologies of this joint. However, this surgical reconstruction initially brings important deficits in subjects submitted, such as: inhibition of muscle strength, limitation of range of motion and functional deficit. Therefore, an immediate physiotherapeutic treatment is necessary in the short and long term, taking into account both biomechanical issues and the quality of life of these individuals.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical evolution of individuals submitted to total hip arthroplasty in the ten year period.

Method: Twenty individuals submitted to unilateral total hip arthroplasty will be evaluated by the medical group of hip surgeries of the Brotherhood of Santa Casa de Misericórdia of São Paulo, during a period of ten years. These individuals will undergo a primary clinical evaluation and after signing the consent form, will be evaluated functionally with the HARRIS HIP SCORE and WHOQOL-bref questionnaires and physically with the analysis of muscular strength through manual dynamometry to measure the strength level of the Muscles involved in the bilateral coxo-femoral joint, such as abductors, adductors, flexors, extensors, internal rotators, external rotators, knee joint, such as extensors and flexors, and ankle, plantar flexors. Finally, they will be referred to the kinematic gait analysis, to identify the functional characteristics of these individuals, through reflexive markers at specific anatomical points, where they will walk for 5 minutes on a treadmill at a speed of 1.5km per hour.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Arthroplasty Complications and Arthropathy of Hip, run by Faculdade de Ciências Médicas da Santa Casa de São Paulo at 1 site in Brazil.

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 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Feb 2019. 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 Brazil. 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?

Muscle strenght (time frame: Performed in a single evaluation). 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 NCT03079479, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 27 Feb 2019.
