About this study

Official title: Effect of Cognitive and Motor Tasks on Gait in Individuals With Cerebral Palsy

Various gait deviations are observed in children with cerebral palsy. Our aim was to determine the effect of cognitive task (CT) and motor task (MT) on gait in children with cerebral palsy (CP). 15 children with CP, between 9-15 years old, with Communication Function Classification System (CFSS) level I, with Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) and Manual Ability Classification System (MACS) level I-II were included in the study. The gait with four different conditions (single gait, CT, MT and CT\&MT) was evaluated by Kinovea video analysis method on a 10-meter course.

Results:

Read the detailed description

All children with CP were instructed to walk on the track under four different conditions:

  • Single: Walking without task at a self-selected speed
  • Cognitive Task (CT): Walking while counting down rhythmically from 20 in threes
  • Motor Task (MT): Walking while carrying an empty box
  • CT + MT: Walking while carrying an empty box and counting down rhythmically from 20 in threes

The task was explained to individuals by a physiotherapist. The individuals were not allowed to use orthosis during walking performance. Running was not accepted. 30 seconds were given to take a break between tasks. The physiotherapist followed the individuals along the track in case of any falling. If the child was not able to complete the track (falling or need to rest), the evaluation was accepted uncomplete and was excluded from the database.

The Kinovea-08.15 software program was used to assess all of the outputs (images and videos) from the camera

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cerebral Palsy and Gait Disorders, Neurologic, run by Istanbul Medipol University Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 5 inclusion and 3 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 20 Apr 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

2D Gait analysis (time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year). 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 20 Apr 2021.
