Trial summary

Gait analysis is commonly performed in clinical practice. However, it is complex and requires an understanding of the activation of muscles in lower limbs, trunk, and upper limbs in a specific spatiotemporal pattern and the appropriate joint positions which support and advance the body weight in different phases of… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Guiding Best Practice Clinical Care With In-Silico Rehabilitation and Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM 1D) for Unilateral Chronic Hemiparetic Stroke and Trans-tibial Amputation: An Exploratory Clinical Study

Gait analysis is commonly performed in clinical practice. However, it is complex and requires an understanding of the activation of muscles in lower limbs, trunk, and upper limbs in a specific spatiotemporal pattern and the appropriate joint positions which support and advance the body weight in different phases of gait cycles.

In study, we plan to pilot the application of 3D gait analysis with statistical modelling in 2 common causes of gait deviation: unilateral hemiplegic stroke and unilateral lower limb amputation.

Read the detailed description

This is a pilot study on the use of 3D gait analysis using motion capture in combination with Statistical Parametric Mapping in patients with unilateral hemiplegic stroke and unilateral lower limb amputation. Data collected will then be compared against a normative dataset.

The findings from this study will then be used to build a decision support tool in combination with clinical analysis which could focus clinical recommendations for gait training, physical therapy, exercise and orthotics prescription to reduce unnecessary joint forces in affected and unaffected segments.

What participants receive

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

  • 3D Gait Analysis with Statistical Parametric MappingDiagnostic test

    A 3D motion capture system will be used for gait analysis. Vector field statistics will be used to simplify the clinical interpretation of time varying movement patterns.

What is being measured

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

  1. Body movement assessed by a motion capture system

    Direction and magnitude of each body movement will be combined to provide graphical data on a motion capture system

    Measured: Assessed within 1 year after patient recruitment

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Fugl Meyer Assessment

    Functional score for stroke patients. Minimum: 0, Maximum: 226, with higher score indicating better function

    Measured: Assessed within 1 year after patient recruitment

  2. Stroke Impact Scale

    Functional score for stroke patients. Minimum:1, Maximum: 5, with higher score indicating higher impairment

    Measured: Assessed within 1 year after patient recruitment

  3. Amputee Mobility Predictor with prosthesis

    Functional score for amputation patients. Minimum: 0, Maximum: 47, with higher score indicating better function.

    Measured: Assessed within 1 year after patient recruitment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Stroke and Amputation, run by Tan Tock Seng Hospital at 1 site in Singapore.

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 16 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 22 Oct 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 Singapore. 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?

Body movement assessed by a motion capture system (time frame: Assessed within 1 year after patient recruitment). 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 22 Oct 2021.
