About this study

Official title: The Impact of Lower Extremity Weight-Bearing Leg Exercise During the Pre-Ambulation Phase of Individuals Undergoing Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation

Patients undergoing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are at high risk for deconditioning and functional decline. The primary aim of this study is to assess the functional impact of leg exercise during the pre-ambulation phase in patients undergoing ECMO.

Read the detailed description

The investigators are conducting this study to explore the impact of closed-chain leg exercise in individuals undergoing ECMO.

Aim 1: To determine if closed-chain leg exercise decreases the time to initial ambulation. The investgators hypothesize that adding leg exercise will decrease time to ambulation.

Aim 2: To determine the impact of closed chain leg exercise on functional ability. The investigators hypothesize that adding leg exercise will improve functional outcomes when added to an existing early mobilization program.

Aim 3: To determine the effect of closed chain leg exercise on hospital outcomes. The investigators hypothesize that hospital related outcomes will improve when leg exercise is added to an existing early mobilization program.

What participants receive

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

  • Open-Chain Leg ExerciseOther

    Individuals in the open-chain group will progress through standard mobility progression.

  • Closed-Chain Leg ExerciseDevice

    Also called Moveo Platform

    Individuals in the closed-chain group will progress through standard mobility exercises with the addition of closed-chain leg exercises using the MOVEO platform.

What is being measured

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

  1. Time to Ambulation

    Time to ambulation is measured as the number of days required for the participant to regain the ability to walk without the need for any kind of assistance. The unit of measure is days.

    Measured: Baseline, to day 45 if applicable

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Open-Chain Leg Exercise and Closed-Chain Leg Exercise in people with Refractory Respiratory Failure, run by University of Minnesota at 1 site in United States.

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 4 inclusion and 4 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 21 Feb 2021. 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 United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 21 Feb 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Time to Ambulation (time frame: Baseline, to day 45 if applicable). 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 21 Feb 2021.
