Trial summary

One of the main challenges of ageing is to prevent the onset of mobility disability and its co-morbidities. Screening the risk of mobility disability in community-dwelling elders is therefore very important and at the uppermost for the care of sarcopenia and frailty. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Integrating a Prevention Care Path Into Daily Life of Elders With Mobility Disability Risk: Introducing a Predictive Model to a Functional Exercise Response

One of the main challenges of ageing is to prevent the onset of mobility disability and its co-morbidities. Screening the risk of mobility disability in community-dwelling elders is therefore very important and at the uppermost for the care of sarcopenia and frailty. A multicomponent intervention, integrating multidisciplinary actions and combining physical exercise and nutrition, is recognized as an effective therapy for the care of mobility disability risk factors. The diagnosis of either pre-frail/frailty and/or sarcopenia at least probable is sufficient to trigger a sustained intervention as it can prevent the onset of mobility disability. Therefore, it is difficult to identify the best responder for this type of care path. As a result, studies have been interested in exploring the predictive factors related to the functional response to exercise within lifestyle interventions. It has been shown that SPPB provides useful information when associated with demographic or physical activity factors. Those predictions are reliable to an ageing population with a SPPB ≤9 but it is still unknown if these reports are reproducible to older adults with high baseline physical function. Therefore, we hypothesized that a more inclusive SPPB score at baseline could also be related to other factors to predict the functional response to exercise. We assumed that strength, age, sex or body mass index could be interesting to elicit better predictions. It is an important issue for the development of targeted-interventions and specific care orientations.

The training has to be established through an accurate schedule to optimize the response to exercise. However, it is difficult to make consensus on the best method to apply, especially for elders with mobility disability risk. Hence, the present study also focus on a specific training method planned toward different exercises modes. We aimed to propose a training with cost-effective material and the absence of machines to transpose it into daily life participants. We expected to observe benefits on physical performance after this exercise intervention.

What participants receive

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

  • Multimodal exercise interventionOther

    The intervention conducted was a progressive multicomponent training protocol. The training consisted on 2 collective sessions of 1h per week, during 10 weeks. Sessions involved functional exercises, muscular reinforcement performed at body-weight or with small materials (elastic bands or dumbbells), balance, and adapted sport and physical activities. Progression was based on an increase in workload (or in muscle strains). The workload was considered as the interaction of intensity and volume of exercise (set x repetitions). Intensity was based on effort tolerance, modulate by contraction regimen, velocity and load (elastic bands stiffness). Participants were encouraged to reproduce exercises at home when they were performed easily in supervised collective sessions.

What is being measured

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

  1. Short Physical Performance Battery (score /12)

    The use of SPPB is widely recognized for its ability to accurately assess the risk of mobility disability in elderly. It is based on the result of three assessments; static balance test, the ability to perform five chair lifts as quickly as possible and a walking speed test measured over four or six meters. SPPB give a score for 0 to 12 with an increased risk of mobility disability for a score less or equal to 8.

    Measured: Change in the SPPB score at 3 months of intervention

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Physical Activity and Gerontology, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 1 site 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 4 inclusion and 2 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 15 Mar 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 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?

Short Physical Performance Battery (score /12) (time frame: Change in the SPPB score at 3 months of intervention). 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 15 Mar 2021.
