Trial summary

This study aims to describe normal spinal musculoskeletal patterns in healthy adolescents and young adults by using static and dynamic measures. Static informations are obtained from full-spine stereoradiography for skeletal measures and from high-resolution spine muscle MRI for muscular data. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Normative Dynamic & Magnetic Spine. Musculoskeletal Characteristics Static and Dynamic of Spine in Healthy Subject

This study aims to describe normal spinal musculoskeletal patterns in healthy adolescents and young adults by using static and dynamic measures. Static informations are obtained from full-spine stereoradiography for skeletal measures and from high-resolution spine muscle MRI for muscular data. Dynamics stability is calculated from 3D gait analysis.

Read the detailed description

Spinal diseases and deformities in adults (degenerative or traumatic) and children (scoliosis and kyphosis) are major public health issues.

Postural imbalance due to spinal deformity is usually measured on static radiographs, using standard X-rays. However, bipedal walk is characteristic from human being and the trunk is the main stabilizer.

Pathogenesis of spinal deformities remains undefined. To understand the different mechanisms involved in the pathological field, normal musculoskeletal performances of the spine, in static and dynamic conditions must be identified.

Ultra-low doses stereoradiography using the EOS system allows the acquisition of full-spine images in standing position. Furthermore, 3D reconstruction can also be create from both anteroom-posterior and lateral side view. Stereoradiography is used in clinical routine especially in children spinal deformities.

High resolution muscular MRI is the only device that can provide a detailed muscular analysis, with detection of abnormalities at an early stage. No mapping of normal paraspinal muscles has been yet realized, particularly regarding to rotatores muscles.

Motion analysis is the reference exam to analyse dynamic stability during gait. Several parameters reflecting stability during gait can be collected in different conditions. Recently, the "Dynamic Stability Margin" has been developed but no standard values especially in healthy children has been published.

What is being measured

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

  1. Normal dynamic stability margin (DSM) in children and adults

    DSM= xCoM (extrapolated center of mass)- BoS (Base of Support). Unit = meters Normalized on body height (m)

    Measured: 2 hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. number of rotatores muscles

    counting every rotatore muscle (from MRI data), no unit

    Measured: 2 hours

  2. volume of back muscles

    from segmentation of each muscle group, unit = voxel

    Measured: 2 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing EOS full-spine, MRI, gait analysis in people with Healthy Volunteers and Dynamic Stability Margin, run by Centre d'Investigation Clinique et Technologique 805 at 1 site in France.

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 9 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Feb 2021. 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 France. 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 stopped early (reason given: funding problems). 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?

Normal dynamic stability margin (DSM) in children and adults (time frame: 2 hours). 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 2021.
