What is being measured

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

  1. Range of scapular downward rotation

    Measured: Measured during gait assessment on post-operative day 4-12

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Bilateral upper extremity kinematics

    Hip flexion/extension, knee flexion/extension, and ankle dorsiflexion/plantar flexion; measured through optical motion tracking software

    Measured: Measured during gait assessment on post-operative day 4-12

  2. Bilateral upper extremity electromyographic (EMG) activity

    Measured: Measured during gait assessment on post-operative day 4-12

  3. Upper extremity pain

    Measurements of pain at the shoulder, elbow, and wrist using an 11-point Numerical Rating Scale (0 = no pain, 10 = extreme pain)

    Measured: Measured at 3 time points: pre-operative, during gait assessment, and 4 weeks post-operative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Study withdrawn in people with Total Knee Arthroplasty and Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction, run by University of Calgary.

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 2 inclusion and 10 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Apr 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Range of scapular downward rotation (time frame: Measured during gait assessment on post-operative day 4-12). 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 18 Apr 2022.
