Trial summary

The osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic and degenerative disease which brings articular cartilage degeneration. As a consequence, balance and proprioception could be dangerously reduced after total knee arthroplasty. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Evaluate the Proprioception in Patients with Total Knee Arthroplasty

The osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic and degenerative disease which brings articular cartilage degeneration. As a consequence, balance and proprioception could be dangerously reduced after total knee arthroplasty.

Several studies demonstrated the correlation between OA, proprioception reduction and increased risk of falling. The aim of this study is to evaluate the proprioception improvement in patients with total knee arthroplasty.

What is being measured

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

  1. Improvement of a proprioception

    Stability Index (SI) in percentage the maximum is 100%

    Measured: 24 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Evaluation of performance in lower limb questionnaire

    Short Physical Performance Battery - SPPB The score range from 0 (wost performance) to 12 (best performance)

    Measured: 24 months

  2. KSS Score

    The score range from 0 to 100 with lower scores being indicative of worse knee conditions and higher scores being indicative of better knee conditions

    Measured: 24 months

  3. Clinical score

    Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index the WOMAC evaluates 3 dimensions: pain, stiffness, and physical function with 5, 2, and 17 questions, respectively. The Likert version of the WOMAC is rated on an ordinal scale of 0 to 4, with lower scores indicating lower levels of symptoms or physical disability.

    Measured: 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Reconditioning Proprioception in people with Proprioceptive Disorders, run by Istituto Ortopedico Rizzoli at 1 site in Italy.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 19 Sep 2024. 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 Italy. 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?

Improvement of a proprioception (time frame: 24 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 19 Sep 2024.
