Trial summary

Sedentary behaviour is particularly high among the older and in the presence of a chronic pathology. Physical activity is limited mainly by the lack of accessibility to activities offered in the city and the lack of motivation. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Art of Moving for Sustainable Health: Influence of a Museum Visit on the Physical Demands and Well-being of Sedentary People

Sedentary behaviour is particularly high among the older and in the presence of a chronic pathology. Physical activity is limited mainly by the lack of accessibility to activities offered in the city and the lack of motivation.

The objective is to study the physical solicitations and the well-being during the visit of a museum (free or guided visit). Our hypothesis is that this cultural activity induces a sufficient physical solicitation for sedentary people and for individuals with a post-stroke motor disability.

All the tests will be carried out during the same day by experienced physiotherapists. Physical and well-being tests will be performed before and after the visits. The number of steps taken during the visit will be measured.

This is a different approach to promote physical activity and this proposal is an original way to stimulate the physical, psychic and social health of sedentary people. If the results are beneficial, museums could become real health partners to stimulate the activity of sedentary people.

What participants receive

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

  • Free visitOther

    The persons with sedentary (healthy) in this group will have to visit the museum freely (without a guide) for a period of 75 minutes.

  • Guided visitOther

    The persons with sedentary (healthy) in this group will have to visit the museum with a guide for a period of 75 minutes.

  • Guided visit (stroke)Other

    The persons with motor disability after stroke in this group will have to visit the museum with a guide for a period of 75 minutes.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of steps during visit in the three groups (free visit vs. guided visit and guided visit for individuals with stroke)

    An activity tracker on the visitor's wrist will measure the number of steps taken while visiting the museum. Parameter: number of steps.

    Measured: 75 minutes

Secondary outcomes (13)
  1. Change from baseline (pre-visit): Postural control in the three groups (free visit vs. guided visit and guided visit for individuals with stroke)

    The standing balance will be tested in bipedal with forceplate. Parameters: center of pressure displacement (mm).

    Measured: 75 minutes

  2. Change from baseline (pre-visit): Postural control in the three groups (free visit vs. guided visit and guided visit for individuals with stroke)

    The standing balance will be tested in bipedal with forceplate. Parameters: center of pressure speed (mm/s).

    Measured: 75 minutes

  3. Change from baseline (pre-visit): Postural control in the three groups (free visit vs. guided visit and guided visit for individuals with stroke)

    The standing balance will be tested in bipedal with forceplate. Parameters: center of pressure sway area (mm2).

    Measured: 75 minutes

  4. Change from baseline (pre-visit): gait speed in the three groups (free visit vs. guided visit and guided visit for individuals with stroke)

    The gait speed will be tested with the Ten-meter walking test. Parameter: gait speed (m/s)

    Measured: 75 minutes

  5. Change from baseline (pre-visit): sit to stand transfert in the three groups (free visit vs. guided visit and guided visit for individuals with stroke)

    The sit to stand transfert will be tested with the five sit to stand test. Parameter: duration to realize five sit-to stand transferts (seconds)

    Measured: 75 minutes

  6. Change from baseline (pre-visit): lower limb muscle strength in the three groups (free visit vs. guided visit and guided visit for individuals with stroke)

    The knee extensors muscle strength will be measured with an hand-held dynamometer. Parameter: maximal voluntary force in Newton (N).

    Measured: 75 minutes

  7. Change from baseline (pre-visit): fatigue in the three groups (free visit vs. guided visit and guided visit for individuals with stroke)

    The fatigue will be tested with the Numeric Rating Scale. Parameter: 10-points score.

    Measured: 75 minutes

  8. Change from baseline (pre-visit): pain in the three groups (free visit vs. guided visit and guided visit for individuals with stroke)

    The pain will be tested with the Numeric Rating Scale. Parameter: 10-points score.

    Measured: 75 minutes

  9. Change from baseline (pre-visit): anxiety in the three groups (free visit vs. guided visit and guided visit for individuals with stroke)

    The anxiety will be tested with the Numeric Rating Scale. Parameter: 10-points score.

    Measured: 75 minutes

  10. Change from baseline (pre-visit): museum well-being in the three groups (free visit vs. guided visit and guided visit for individuals with stroke)

    The well-being will be tested with the museum well-being survey.

    Measured: 75 minutes

  11. Safety endpoint 1: fatigue

    The fatigue will be tested with the Numeric Rating Scale. Parameter: 10-points score.

    Measured: 3 hours

  12. Safety endpoint 2: pain

    The fatigue will be tested with the Numeric Rating Scale. Parameter: 10-points score.

    Measured: 3 hours

  13. Safety endpoint 3: number of subjects

    The safety endpoint will be tested with the calculation of the number of subjects who completed the visit and the tests.

    Measured: 3 hours

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Switzerland. 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?

Number of steps during visit in the three groups (free visit vs. guided visit and guided visit for individuals with stroke) (time frame: 75 minutes). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04987255, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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.
