About this study

Official title: Effect of Cycle Ergometer in the Rehabilitation of Elderly Patients With Total Hip Arthroplasty: Randomized Controlled Trial

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of an exercise program with a cycle ergometer in functional outcome and related-health quality of life (RHQL) in elderly patients with total hip arthroplasty.

Read the detailed description

Behavioral: Ergometer Cycling Ergometer Cycling under the guidance of a physical therapist after the second postoperative week. These training sessions were scheduled to be performed two times a week for a time period of at least eith weeks.

Behavioral: No ergometer cycling Patients of the no ergometer cycling group did not receive any ergometer cycling after surgery, only conventional exercises.

Being tested
Ergometer cycling, Conventional exercises
Keywords
Hip arthroplasty, Aged, Rehabilitation, Exercise therapy

What participants receive

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

  • Ergometer cyclingBehavioural

    Patients will participate of the exercises program with ergometer cycling and conventional exercises. The program will initiate after two weeks of the postoperative and will continue until three months of the postoperative

  • Conventional exercisesBehavioural

    Patients will participate only of the conventional exercises program. The program will initiate after two weeks of the postoperative and will continue until three months of the postoperative

What is being measured

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

  1. Change from baseline in hip function at three months

    Harris Hip Score (HHS) will be used to collect the data at baseline and at three months

    Measured: Baseline and three months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change from baseline in physical performance of lower limbs at three months.

    "Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB)" developed by Guralnik (1994), to evaluate of balance, gait speed and muscle strenght, of lower limbs will be used to collect the data at baseline and at three months.

    Measured: Baseline and three months

  2. Change from baseline in health-related quality of life (HRQOL)at three months by generic questionnaire

    The generic questionnaire evaluation HRQOL "Medical Outcomes Survey 36 - Item Short-Form" developed by Ware and Sherboune (1992) will be used to collect the data at baseline and at three months

    Measured: Baseline and three months

  3. Change from baseline in health-related quality of life (HRQOL) at three months by specific questionnaire

    The specific questionnaire evaluattion HRQOL "Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC)" developed by Bellamy (1988) will be used to collect the data at baseline and at three months.

    Measured: Baseline and three months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Ergometer cycling and Conventional exercises in people with Osteoarthritis, Hip and Osteonecrosis, run by University of Campinas, Brazil at 1 site in Brazil.

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 5 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Dec 2014. 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 Brazil. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Change from baseline in hip function at three months (time frame: Baseline and three 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 NCT01622465, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 4 Dec 2014.
