About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Positioning Protocols with an Adapted Equipment on a Wheelchair in Hemiplegic Patients Following a Stroke

The main purpose of this study is to assess the interest of using wheelchair positioning equipment on the decrease of postural disorders, compared to the standard use of a wheelchair

Read the detailed description

The stroke is the main cause of hemiplegia in developed countries. Fifteen percent of people who say they have a stroke need, at home, a wheelchair to get from one room to another. The use of a wheelchair can cause postural disorders which can lead to pain, orthopedic deformity and pressure ulcers.

This study aims to assess the interest of using wheelchair positioning equipment (Seat back, Positioning cushion and Belt) on the decrease of postural disorders.

This decrease will be assessed after a standardized course, performed under three different conditions: with the positioning equipment (Positioning cushion and Seat back), with the positioning equipment and the belt and with the wheelchair alone.

Clinical tool used to assess the decrease is the Seated Postural Control Measure for Adults 2.0 (SPCMA 2.0).

This study, which will be the first prospective, interventional, multicenter, controlled and randomized study, could pave the way for guidelines of good practice, for wheelchair positioning of hemiplegic patients in France

What is being measured

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

  1. Degree of pelvic posterior tilt

    The Primary Outcome Measure is the variation of the Degree of pelvic posterior tilt at the end of the three standardized course. These courses were performed with Standard Wheelchair, Standard Wheelchair + Seat back + Positioning cushion + Belt or with Standard Wheelchair + Seat back + Positioning cushion.

    The Degree of pelvic posterior tilt was measured using the SPCMA 2.0 score (0 = normal, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate and 3 = severe retroversion)

    Measured: Immediately after the end of the procedure, an average of 1 day

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Variation of Degree of pelvic posterior tilt

    The variation of the Degree of pelvic posterior tilt was measured between the beginning and the end of the three standardized course using the SPCMA 2.0 score (0 = normal, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate and 3 = severe retroversion)

    Measured: Baseline and immediately after the end of the procedure, an average of 1 day

  2. Variation of degree of lateral inclination of the torso

    The variation of the degree of lateral inclination of the torso was measured between the beginning and the end of the three standardized course using the SPCMA 2.0 score (0 = normal, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate and 3 = severe retroversion)

    Measured: Baseline and immediately after the end of the procedure, an average of 1 day

  3. Variation of the degree of Pelvis obliquity

    The variation of the degree of Pelvis obliquity was measured at the end of the three standardized course using the SPCMA 2.0 score (0 = normal, 1 = mild, 2 =moderate and 3 = severe retroversion)

    Measured: Baseline and immediately after the end of the procedure, an average of 1 day

  4. Degree of lateral inclination of the torso

    The degree of lateral inclination of the torso was measured at the end of the three standardized course using the SPCMA 2.0 score (0 = normal, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate and 3 = severe retroversion)

    Measured: Immediately after the end of the procedure, an average of 1 day

  5. Degree of Pelvis obliquity

    The degree of Pelvis obliquity was measured at the end of the three standardized course using the SPCMA 2.0 score (0 = normal, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate and 3 = severe retroversion)

    Measured: Immediately after the end of the procedure, an average of 1 day

  6. Measure of patient's satisfaction

    The satisfaction of patient was measured with a satisfaction questionnaire scale based on ease of movement, wheelchair comfort and pain during the course. For each item, patient ticks : Very satisfied, Satisfied, Neither satisfied or unsatisfied, Unsatisfied or Very unsatisfied

    Measured: Immediately after the end of the procedure, an average of 1 day

  7. Ability to achieve the whole course

    Binary criteria (Yes / No)

    Measured: Immediately after the end of the procedure, an average of 1 day

  8. Adverse event collect

    Total number of adverse event

    Measured: Immediately after the end of the procedure, an average of 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Arm 1, Arm 2 and Arm 3 in people with Hemiplegia And/or Hemiparesis Following Stroke, run by Hôpital NOVO at 7 sites in France.

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 7 inclusion and 5 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 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 7 sites in France. 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?

Degree of pelvic posterior tilt (time frame: Immediately after the end of the procedure, an average of 1 day). 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.
