About this study

A study to obtain normative values and repeatability measures during functional reaching tasks in able-bodied individuals with no functional limitations.

Read the detailed description

The study has three main aims: 1) Define the data collection methods, and calculate the repeatability, of joint angles, muscle activation magnitudes, seating pressure, foot pressure, and reach distance during seated and standing reaching activities. 2) Collect normative values of joint angles, muscle activation magnitudes, seating pressure, foot pressure, and reach distance during seated and standing functional reaching tasks in 40 participants with no functional limitations. Descriptive statistics will include calculating the mean, median, standard deviation, and range of the outcome variable values. 3) Compare joint angles, muscle activation magnitudes, seating pressure, foot pressure, and reach distance collected during a seated reaching task to those collected during a standing reaching task.

The data collected may be used in the future as baseline reference and repeatability values of outcome measures against which to compare values from individuals with functional limitations to quantify their functional ability.

What is being measured

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

  1. Joint angles

    Change in measurements of joint angles at the shoulders, hips, knees, and ankles, measured in degrees.

    Measured: One data collection session, lasting approximately 4 hours

  2. Electromyography

    Muscle activity over time and peak muscle activity, measured in volts. Muscles measured: erector spinae, rectus abdominis, gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, medial hamstring, vastus lateralis, gastrocnemius, and tibialis anterior.

    Measured: One data collection session, lasting approximately 4 hours

  3. Center of pressure excursion

    Path of movement of the center of pressure applied by the buttocks to the seating surface and applied by the feet to the floor.

    Measured: One data collection session, lasting approximately 4 hours

  4. Seated and foot pressures

    Plot of pressure magnitude over the surface of the buttocks and the bottom of the feet.

    Measured: One data collection session, lasting approximately 4 hours

  5. Reach distance

    Measurement of the furthest distance reached, measured in centimeters.

    Measured: One data collection session, lasting approximately 4 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Modified Functional Reach and Functional Reach in people with Individuals With Functional Limitations Which May Impact Their Forward Reach, run by Mayo Clinic at 1 site in United States.

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 8 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 16 Jul 2024. 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 United States. 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?

Joint angles (time frame: One data collection session, lasting approximately 4 hours). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 16 Jul 2024.
