Trial summary

Burn injury as well as diabetes mellitus (DM) induce physical functional and psychological impairments. Lower limb burn involving Foot are still a challenging heath condition because of its important sensory role. Balance is disturbed either in patients with lower limb burn injury or diabetic patients.

About this study

Official title: Whole Body Vibration Training for Diabetic Patients With Burn Injury: RCT

Burn injury as well as diabetes mellitus (DM) induce physical functional and psychological impairments. Lower limb burn involving Foot are still a challenging heath condition because of its important sensory role. Balance is disturbed either in patients with lower limb burn injury or diabetic patients. This study aime to compare between the effects whole body vibrational training and Yoga exercises on postural balance, and Activities-specific Balance Confidence in in type II diabetic Patients with foot burn

Read the detailed description

Thirty eight diabetic patients (17 male, 21female) with foot burn injury, with their age ranged from 40 to 55 years. They will randomly assigned into two equal groups. Group (A) will receive low vibrational training in the form of whole body vibration for 8 weeks (n=19), while group (B) the control group for 8 weeks (n=19) in addition both groups will receive their routine medical care and physical therapy rehabilitation including balancing exercises. Dynamic balance will be evaluated through Biodex balance system (BBS);and balance confidence will be measured by the Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale (ABC) before the starting and after the end of treatment for all patients in both groups

What is being measured

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

  1. Dynamic balance assessment

    Biodex Balance System was used to measure the dynamic balance of each patient in both groups (A and B) before and after 8 weeks of treatment.

    The system has a movable balance platform that permits about 20◦ tilt in 360◦ range, and is interfaced with computer software for objective balance assessment. It measures the ability of the patient to control the platform's tilting angle, which is quantified as a variation from the center, as well as the deflection degree over time at different stability levels

    Measured: Change from Baseline at balance scores at 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The Activities-specific Balance

    A short,six-question version of the Activities-specific Balance scale, the Activities-specific Balance scale. Individuals report their balance confidence in six tasks: standing on tiptoes and reaching for something overhead, standing on a chair to reach for something, being bumped into by people while walking through a mall, stepping off an escalator holding onto the railing, stepping off an escalator without holding onto the railing, and walking on an icy sidewalk ABC scores range between 0% and 100%, with higher scores indicating better balance confidence

    Measured: Change from Baseline at Activities-specific Balance scores at 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing whole body viberation and Traditional program(balance exercises and resisted exercises) in people with Burn Injury, run by Cairo University at 3 sites in 2 countries.

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 7 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 May 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Egypt, Saudi Arabia. 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?

Dynamic balance assessment (time frame: Change from Baseline at balance scores at 8 weeks). 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 May 2021.
