What participants receive

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

  • static balanceOther

    30-second right and left unipodal static balance test

  • dynamic balanceOther

    for the unipodal dynamic balance test, 4 movements will be done by the volunteers in this order :

    • 180° elevation of the arms
    • lowering of the arms on the side of the single-legged support to the horizontal position
    • 180° horizontal translation of the arms
    • return from the horizontal to the starting point

What is being measured

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

  1. Area of CoP (Center of pression)

    Mesure of area of center of pression during the balance tests in virtual condition and real condition, order in terms of randomisation

    Measured: Immediately after inclusion

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Total distance covered by the CoP during the balance test (in mm)

    Mesure of the total distance covered by the CoP during the balance tests (in mm) in virtual condition and real condition, order in terms of randomisation

    Measured: Immediately after inclusion

  2. Simulator Sickness Quantifying (SSQ)

    SSQ completed after the balance test, SSQ is a scale of cyber sickness, from 0 to 48.

    Measured: Immediately after the balance test

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing static balance and dynamic balance in people with Healthy, run by Pôle Saint Hélier at 2 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 1 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 Jan 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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?

Area of CoP (Center of pression) (time frame: Immediately after inclusion). 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 Jan 2021.
