Effect of a Posture Adapter for 12 to 24-month Children With Zyka Virus Syndrome

July 20, 2017 updated by: Labibe Mara Pinel Frederico, Universidade Federal de Pernambuco

Effect of a Posture Adapter Use on Body Alignment in Standing Position on Children Between 12 and 24 Months Old With Zyka Virys Congenital Syndrome

Congenital Zika virus syndrome (SCZv) has been gaining attention in studies due to changes in the central nervous system and in the motor development of children. These changes resulted in an unexpected picture and without future predictability, with the appearance of several functional impairments and also on orthostatic posture. In this context, the protocol of orthostatism proposed here is a 10-week program of the use of a postural adjuster, the standing frame, made of its own with alternative material to the commercial models (cardboard). The use of low cost materials allows these devices to be made in the desired size without cost high, individually adapted, easy to be transported as it is light and can still be colored. It is an equipment that offers the opportunity to experience the orthostatic posture and mainly benefits children with little economic resources that enable the acquisition of traditional devices made of iron or wood and even imported equipment. The postural adjuster allows physical and sensorial opportunity, being an auxiliary resource in standing positioning, feasible for home use, besides being useful for performing functional activities. Thus, the objective will be to analyze the repercussions of the use of the standing frame on body alignment, muscle tone, gross motor function and gastrointestinal functions of children with SCZv. An uncontrolled intervention study will be conducted with children between 12 and 24 months of age, who will undergo an evaluation before use and after the use of the adjunct along with the proposed orthostatism protocol. The postural alignment will be evaluated through photogrammetry and the evaluation of muscle tone will be performed through the modified Tardieu scale. The Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) scale will be used to assess the gross motor function of the children involved in the study. Questionnaires will be applied for the collection of maternal socio-demographic data, the child's data, the type and time of therapy that the child already participates, and the gastrointestinal functions. Evaluations will occur in four moments: initial / before use, on the first day of placement in the adjuster, after the first month after use and after the second month of use. For statistical analysis, the Shapiro Wilk Test will be applied to evaluate the normality of the data, and the Friedman or ANOVA tests for repeated samples, to analyze intra-group time factor for the dependent variables of each individual.

Study Overview

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

Enrollment (Anticipated)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

1 year to 2 years (Child)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • children between 12 and 24 months old;
  • children with confirmed zika virus infection diagnosis;
  • children with STORCH + for zika virus (blood test)

Exclusion Criteria:

  • children with no medication for controlling zika virus infection symptoms;
  • children with musculoskeletal disorders or limitation to standing position

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Body Alignment
Time Frame: two-month period
Position or attitude of the body, the Arrangement of the parts of the body for a specific activity, or a Characteristic way of someone sustaining your body
two-month period

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
