Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 35 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Study population: Sample size calculations were based on the ICC (0.81-0.87) data for jump parameters obtained from the reference study. Accordingly, the minimum acceptable reliability (ICC) (ρ0) was set at 0.70, with the expected reliability (ICC) (ρ1) at 0.85, considering 80% power and a significance level of 0.05. As a result of the power analysis, it was determined that at least 50 participants should be included in the study. Considering a 10% possibility of separation in test-retest for the participants, it was decided to include 55 individuals.

Who may be able to join

  • being between the ages of 18 and 35
  • having no balance issues (such as vertigo) that could affect assessments
  • having no health problems that would interfere with understanding the assessments.

Who cannot join

  • Having known neurological, rheumatological, or musculoskeletal system problems.

About this study

The aim of the study is to examine the Gyko inertial sensor system in healthy adults. In the study, jump and postural control parameters are assessed with a one-week interval. To evaluate intra-rater reliability, ICC, SEM, and MDC values will be calculated.

Read the detailed description

The Gyko inertial sensor system is a lightweight and portable device that applies protocols for assessing and monitoring joint function, muscle strength, jump, and postural stability parameters during the rehabilitation of a specific musculoskeletal region. Previous studies have evaluated the validity of Gyko in assessing vertical jump height in female sub-elite soccer players and its reliability in evaluating postural stability in healthy, non-athletic adults. However, the findings regarding both the validity and reliability of the device have been limited.

Our aim in this study is to evaluate the reliability of the Gyko inertial sensor system, an affordable and accessible tool that facilitates the assessment and monitoring of jump and postural stability parameters in healthy adults. If the study confirms the reliability of the Gyko device in evaluating these parameters, it could be used by clinicians, therapists, researchers, and/or coaches as a targeted alternative to gold standard methods for assessing jump and postural stability parameters in healthy adults.

Hypotheses:

H0: The use of the Gyko inertial sensor system is not reliable for assessing jump and postural control parameters in healthy adults.

H1: The use of the Gyko inertial sensor system is reliable for assessing jump performance in healthy adults.

H2: The use of the Gyko inertial sensor system is reliable for assessing postural control in healthy adults.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Assessment, Self and Sports Physical Therapy, run by Hacettepe University.

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 3 inclusion and 1 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Nov 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

The reliability of the jump and postural stability reliability with Gyko inertial system (time frame: two weeks). 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 6 Nov 2024.
