About this study

Official title: Effects a Multi-modal Exercise Program in Older Aduls With Knee Osteoarthritis

Aim: To evaluate the short-term effects of a multi-modal exercise program on physical performance variables in older adults with knee osteoarthritis.

Read the detailed description
  • Aim: To evaluate the short-term effects of 16 week multi-modal exercise program on physical performance variables in independent community-dwelling older adults with knee osteoarthritis.
  • Design: randomized controlled trial.
  • Setting: home-based intervention.
Being tested
Multi-modal exercise program, Conventional treatment

What participants receive

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

  • Multi-modal exercise programOther

    Each session (48) starts with 7 minutes of moderate warm-up exercises focusing on mobility and flexibility. Secondly, the strengthening exercises consist of knee extensions, knee flexions, hip abductions, ankle plantar flexions, and ankle dorsiflexions. Thirdly, a set of balance exercises including knee bends, backwards walking, walking and turning around, sideways walking, tandem stance, tandem walk,one-leg stand, heel walking, toe walking, toe to heel walking backwards, sit-to-stand, and stair walking. Finally, participants are instructed to walk at their usual pace for at least 10 minutes.

  • Conventional treatmentOther

    Each session (48) consist in isotonic exercises of low intensity and joint mobility of the lower extremities. These exercises are usually prescribed in medical consultations for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis.

What is being measured

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

  1. Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC)

    It is a self-questionnaire consisting of 24 items divided into 3 sub-scales: pain (5 items): when walking on level ground, using stairs, in bed, sitting or lying down, and standing. Rigidity (2 items) morning and during the rest of the day. Functional capacity (17 items): use of stairs, getting up from sitting, standing, stooping, walking, getting in / out of a car, going shopping, putting on / taking off socks and / or socks, getting out of bed, lying on the bed, entering / leaving the shower / tub, sitting and getting up from the toilet, performing heavy and light household chores.

    Measured: 16 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Numeric pain Rating Scale (NRS)

    The NRS is a one-dimensional measure of pain intensity. The format is a line in which the participant selects a number between 0-10 that best reflects the intensity of the pain itself. A higher value corresponds to a greater intensity of pain.

    Measured: 16 weeks

  2. Timed 10-Meter Walk Test (10-MWT)

    It is a test for the evaluation of the usual and maximum gait speed along a distance of 10 meters corridor.

    Measured: 16 weeks

  3. 6-Minute Walk Test (6-MWT)

    It is a test that evaluates the maximum distance a participant can walk during 6 minutes along a 30 meter long corridor.

    Measured: 16 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Multi-modal exercise program and Conventional treatment in people with Osteo Arthritis Knee, run by Cardenal Herrera University at 1 site in Spain.

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 3 inclusion and 6 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 11 Dec 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 Spain. 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?

Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) (time frame: 16 weeks). 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 11 Dec 2019.
