About this study

Official title: Effects of Motor-assisted Cycling and Functional Electrical Stimulation Cycling on Postprandial Glucose in Type 2 Diabetic Patients With Activities of Daily Living Disability

Exercise has been the cornerstone of diabetes management. However, many diabetic patients have ADL disabilities and experience substantial difficulty in performing usual exercises, such as brisk walking and upright cycling. There is an urgent need to provide alternative exercise modalities for diabetic patients with ADL disabilities. In this study, investigators will investigate the effects on the glucose of three exercise modalities, including motor-assisted cycling (i.e., cycling on a motor-driven bike) and functional electrical stimulation (FES) cycling, during which the investigators will use electrical current to facilitate cycling movements.

What participants receive

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

  • Motor-assisted cyclingBehavioural

    Participants will perform the motor-assisted cycling exercise using a physical therapy bike (RECK; Betzenweiler, Germany). Participants will perform 3×10-min bouts of motor-assisted cycling at the highest tolerable cadence. Before each bout, participants will perform 1-2 minutes of motor-assisted cycling at 5-10 rpm as a warm-up.

  • FES cyclingBehavioural

    The testing procedures will be identical to that in the motor-assisted cycling visit except for the exercise type. Participants will wear FES cuffs on the upper and lower legs, bilaterally.

    . The FES cycling will be performed on the motor-assisted bike using the wearable FES equipment. The purpose of motor-assisted cycling is to provide constant cadence. The Bioness L300 Plus system (Bioness, Valencia, CA) will be worn on the upper and lower legs to stimulates the quadriceps and dorsiflexors muscles during the motor-driven cycling exercise. An embedded gyroscope of the cuff can detect the motion of the lower leg so that the electrical stimulations will be generated at appropriate timing to activate leg muscles during the cycling exercise.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Motor-assisted cycling and FES cycling in people with Type2 Diabetes and Disability Physical, 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 3 inclusion and 12 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 15 Nov 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 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 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?

Postprandial glucose AUC (time frame: The glucose will be measured using CGM during the 2-hour postprandial period.). 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 15 Nov 2019.
