Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Recruiting

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.

Detailed Description

The goal of the study is to use off-the-shelves markerless and contactless technologies and automatically digitise the person's movements as they walk through an institutional hallway. Multi-camera-based technologies can merge 2D-video into 3D-information. With an appropriate software, one can acquire data, perform the kinematic calculations and generate a report, all with minimal or no human intervention. The specific research question are whether pathological gait or walking disorders of the patients can be identified and classified based on the system's output, whether signs of depression can be classified from the the system's output, and whether the results of the 6-minute walk test can be predicted from the the system's output.

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

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients after lower limb loss (because of traumatic reason or disease) for the LLL group; patients fitted with lower-limb orthosis because of neurological reasons for the LLO group

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • ability to walk at least 10 metres without help of a person,
  • no severe cognitive problems (able to answer questionnaires),
  • native Slovenian speakers,
  • wiling to participate (signed informed consent)

Exclusion Criteria:

  • severe cognitive impairment,
  • not being able to walk with or without a prosthesis or orthosis.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
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.
LLL
Rehabilitation patients with lower limb loss
Device: Lower-limb prosthesis
The patients from the LLL group will be fitted with an appropriate lower-limb prosthesis.
Behavioral: Standard rehabilitation
The patients will receive standard rehabilitation that comprises assessment performed by a multidisciplinary team (physical-and-rehabilitation-medicine specialist physician, physiotherapist, occupational therapist, psychologist, social worker, prosthetics-and-orthotics engineer).
LLO
Rehabilitation patients fitted with a lower limb orthosis
Device: Lower-limb orthosis
The patients from the LLO group will be fitted with an appropriate lower-limb orthosis.
Behavioral: Standard rehabilitation
The patients will receive standard rehabilitation that comprises assessment performed by a multidisciplinary team (physical-and-rehabilitation-medicine specialist physician, physiotherapist, occupational therapist, psychologist, social worker, prosthetics-and-orthotics engineer).

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
Smart Hallway
Time Frame: Upon admission to rehabilitation
As part of the regular clinical examination, the patients walk straight through a 7m long walkway, turn, and come back while data is collected with the Smart Hallway system. They start walking one meter outside the capture volume. The procedure is repeated five times to provide a sufficient number of walking cycles. Three-dimensional temporospatial gait features (position, joint angles, velocities, accelerations) are extracted from the acquired data.
Upon admission to rehabilitation
Falls during rehabilitation
Time Frame: Upon discharge from rehabilitation
Data on falls during rehabilitation is routinely collected and entered in the hospital information system (HIS). It will be transferred from the HIS to the study database upon the patient's discharge.
Upon discharge from rehabilitation

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
Time Frame
World Health Organisation Disability Assessment Schedule
Time Frame: Upon admission to rehabilitation
The World Health Organisation Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS II) is a generic patient-reported outcome measure of disability that has been translated into Slovenian. It covers six life domains. The scores range from 0 to 100; higher score indicates more disability (i.e., worse outcome).
Upon admission to rehabilitation
Activity Specific Balance Confidence Scale
Time Frame: Upon admission to rehabilitation
The Activity Specific Balance Confidence Scale (ABC) is a pathology-specific patient-reported outcome measure of balance that has been translated and validated in Slovenian. The scores range from 0 to 100; higher score indicates more confidence (i.e., better outcome).
Upon admission to rehabilitation
Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale
Time Frame: Upon admission to rehabilitation
The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) is a patient-reported outcome measure that is used for assessing depression, which has been translated and validated in Slovenian. The scales comprises 14 items, 7 for anxiety and 7 for depression, all scored from 0 to 3, so the score range is from 0 to 21 for either anxiety or depression. Higher score means more pronounced anxiety and depression (i.e., worse outcome).
Upon admission to rehabilitation
Six-minute walk test
Time Frame: Upon admission to rehabilitation
The Six-minute Walk Test (6MWT) is a standard test for assessing walking speed over a long distance with good and well-known metric characteristics. Longer walked distance means higher walking speed (i.e., better outcome).
