About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Efficiency of the Adjustable Lower Extremity Abduction Apparatus After Total Hip Replacement Surgery

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of the adjustable lower extremity abduction apparatus developed after total hip arthroplasty (TKP) surgeries on preventing dislocation and walking.The study is of randomized controlled type. It was held on the inpatient floor of a Training and Research Hospital in Istanbul, between November 2021 and October 16, 2023, with patients undergoing femoral neck fracture surgery.

All patients who were admitted to this clinic for surgical intervention constituted the population of the study. In the research, 30 patients between the ages of 50-80 were included in the experimental group in which the "Adjustable lower extremity abduction apparatus" developed within the scope of the thesis was used, and 30 patients in which this apparatus was not used were included in the control group. As data collection tools in the study, "Patient Introduction Form", "Standardized Mini Mental State Test", "Patient Mobility Scale", "Modified Barthel Activities of Daily Living Index", "Apparatus Quality and Comfort Assessment Form" " and "Harris Hip Score Form" were used. Data were evaluated using IBM SPPS 27.0 statistical package program.

Read the detailed description

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of an adjustable lower extremity abduction apparatus on the prevention of dislocation, activities of daily life and gait after total hip replacement (THR). The study was a randomised controlled trial. It was conducted on the inpatient floor of a Training and Research Hospital in Istanbul between November 2021 and 16 October 2023 with patients who had femoral neck fracture surgery. All patients admitted to this clinic for surgical intervention constituted the population of the study. In the study, 30 patients aged 50-80 years were included in the intervention group using the adjustable lower extremity abduction apparatus developed within the scope of the thesis, and 30 patients using the pillow in routine practice were included in the control group. Patient Introduction Form, Standardized Mini-Mental State Test, Patient Mobility Scale, Modified Barthel Activities of Daily Living Index, Apparatus Quality and Comfort Assessment Form, and Harris Hip Score Form were used as data collection tools. Data were analysed using the IBM SPPS 27.0 software.

What participants receive

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

  • Adjustable lower limb abduction apparatusDevice

    To ensure abduction in the lower extremities after total hip replacement surgery, a specially adjustable apparatus developed according to the height and weight of each individual was used.

    This developed product was used by patients while they were lying down and walking.

What is being measured

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

  1. dislocation

    Dislocation was determined by the patients electronic records and classified as "yes" or "no" depend on the presence or absence of the status

    Measured: 4-6 weeks

  2. Activities of daily living

    Daily living activities was assessed by using modified barthel actirivites of daily living index The modified Barthel Activities of Daily Living Index (MBGADLI) was developed by Barthel and Mahoney in 1965. Küçükdeveci et al. conducted a validity and reliability study of the index for the Turkish society with neurological patients in 2000. The Modified Barthel Index is an unbiased, easy-to-apply, understandable and causal relationship scale. The scores of the Modified Barthel Index for Activities of Daily Living range from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate a greater level of independence.

    Measured: 4-6 weeks

  3. Gait

    Harris Hip Score was used to assess the patients gait Harris Hip Score (HHS): The Harris Hip Score, developed by W.H. Harris in 1969, evaluates patients who have undergone total hip replacement. Çelik et al. (2014) reported that the Turkish version of the Harris Hip Score is reliable and valid. The Harris hip score scale is composed of ten items and divided into four sub-scales: pain, function, absence of deformity, and range of motion. It is scored between 0 and 100 points. The criteria for evaluation are as follows: A score of less than 70 is considered poor, 70 to 80 is fair, 80 to 90 is good, and a score between 90 and 100 is excellent. To measure the range of motion sub-step of the Harris hip score, a universal goniometer was utilized in the investigation.

    Measured: 4-6 weeks

  4. Length of hospital stay

    The hospital stay was calculated from the patients hospitalized untill the discharged. The lenght of hospital was calculated as days.

    Measured: 1-2 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Adjustable lower limb abduction apparatus in people with Total Hip Replacement, run by Bahçeşehir University 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 7 inclusion and 11 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Dec 2023. 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?

dislocation (time frame: 4-6 weeks). The study lists 4 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 14 Dec 2023.
