About this study

Postural control of human body is a complex process involving visual , vestibular, somatosensory system and their central processing , add the vestibular system through its multiple connection coordinates movements of the head with movement of the eyes (to maintain clear vision ), trunk , and limbs (to maintain cephalic and postural stability ) via vestibulo-ocular and vestibulo-spinal reflexes respectively Global postural control shows alterations with aging increasing the chance of falls in the population aged 60 years or older, In older adults, poor postural balance can indicate an impaired ability to recover from small postural perturbations and be predictive of future falls

Being tested
computerized dynamic posturography (sensory orgnization test)

What participants receive

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

  • computerized dynamic posturography (sensory orgnization test)Device

    assess of an individual's ability to maintain static and dynamic stance. The assessment is composed of a battery of tests that are similar to everyday conditions of daily living. There are four main components to CDP that are used clinically: the Sensory Organization Test (SOT),

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of change in balance function

    Using computerized dynamic posturography ( sensory organization test)

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Effect of Aging on Postural Stability, run by Sohag University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 7 inclusion and 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Sep 2022. 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 Egypt. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Zeinab A Mahmoud, residant (01060265062, zeinab_ahmed_post@med.sohag.edu.eg), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage of change in balance function (time frame: 12 months). 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 NCT05544630, 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.

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 Sep 2022.
