About this study

Monocentric, prospective, randomized, open-label, cross-over study.

Read the detailed description

Current literature data suggest that dental occlusion has an influence on postural control in the general population, and more markedly in high-level athletes. The link between dental occlusion and the postural stability of top athletes has been studied in several disciplines such as basketball, shooting, golf and running. There is currently no data in the field of rowing. But this sport requires optimal postural control for synchronous and symmetrical muscle solicitation.

The present study aims to evaluate the influence of dental occlusion on postural stability and the performance of high level rowers.

Our assumptions are as follows:

  • Occlusal disturbance alters the muscular power developed by high level rowers
  • occlusal disturbance alters the static postural stability of high level rowers

What participants receive

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

  • with artificial occlusal disturbanceDevice

    A silicon artificial occlusal disturbance is made from a mould of the rowers mouth and placed in the mouth during the training session.

    With artificial occlusal disturbance : Maximal Intercuspal Occlusion (MIO) with silicone splint increases the vertical dimension of occlusion of 1, 2 and 4 mm.

  • without artificial occlusal disturbanceDevice

    The training session is performed without occlusal disturbance

What is being measured

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

  1. Muscular power

    Muscular power (in Watts) developed by the high level rowers with the "leg press" test on a "Dyno concept 2" machine, with and without artificial occlusal disturbance. Each test lasts 30 seconds. The sequence consists in 2 tests and is performed twice with a resting period of 1 min between each recording.

    Measured: At the time of inclusion

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Surface of the pressure center of the rower's feet

    Each test lasts 51.2 seconds. The sequence consists in 10 tests and is performed twice with a resting period of 1 min between each recording.

    During each test, the projected sway area (in mm², the area of the confidence ellipse containing 90% of the sampled positions of the foot pressure center on the statokinesigram) is extracted from the stabilometric platform

    Measured: At the time of inclusion

  2. Velocity of the pressure center of the rower's feet

    Each test lasts 51.2 seconds. The sequence consists in 10 tests and is performed twice with a resting period of 1 min between each recording.

    During each test, the sway velocity (in mm/s) is calculated as the speed of displacement of the center of pressure of the foot as a function of the average position on the antero-posterior axis of the statokinesigram.

    Measured: At the time of inclusion

  3. Tonicity of the para-vertebral muscles

    Tonicity of the para-vertebral muscles is evaluated with the postural test of Posterior-superior iliac spines (PSIS) with and without artificial occlusal disturbance. This PSIS test is performed eyes opened, in MIO position with and without artificial occlusal disturbance,

    The sequence of two tests is performed twice. During this test, the endpoint is qualitative: operator asymmetric thumbs' ascension reflecting asymmetric contraction of paravertebral muscles (abnormal response) or not (normal response).

    Measured: At the time of inclusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing with artificial occlusal disturbance and without artificial occlusal disturbance in people with Dental Occlusion, Traumatic, run by Rennes University Hospital at 1 site in France.

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 8 inclusion and 8 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Aug 2018. 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 France. 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Limited time between the beginning and the end of the inclusions, only 7 high level rowers available within the time compatible with research realization). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Muscular power (time frame: At the time of inclusion). 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 27 Aug 2018.
