About this study

Official title: Three Dimensional Motion Analysis of Daily Activities With Functional Insole in Parkinsonian Patients

The symptoms and signs of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) include bradykinesia, rigidity, tremor and poor sensory integration, which result in mobility disability. Present integrated research project tries to investigate the effects of different physical therapy interventions on daily activities in patients with PD. This integrated research project includes 3 subprojects as follows. The title of Subproject 1 is "Three dimensional motion analysis of daily activities with functional insole in Parkinsonian patients". The title of Subproject 2 is "Immediate and long-term effects of novel plantar mechanical device on postural control in standing and gait performance in people with Parkinson's disease". The title of Subproject 3 is "Upper extremity hand function and coordination during functional movement in patients with Parkinson's disease".

This multidisciplinary research project collaborates with Department of Physical Therapy, and Department of Medicine in Tzu Chi University. Furthermore, this integrated study also works with Department of Neurology, Department of Neurosurgery, as well as Department of Rehabilitation in Tzu Chi Hospital to improve the mobility in patients with PD.

This is a three-year integrated project, and the common purposes of this project in each are as follows. In the first year, it is to compare the daily functional difference between the healthy and the Parkinsonian patients. In the second year, it is to examine the immediate and short-term effects of different interventions on daily activities in Parkinsonian patients.The third year is for upper extremity functional assessment.

Read the detailed description

In the first year, it is to compare the functional difference of biomechanics and motor control between the healthy and the Parkinsonian patients. In the second year, it is to examine the immediate and short-term effects of functional foot insole and the kinetic training on daily activities in Parkinsonian patients. In the third year, it is to examine the hand tremor during drawing, and the coordination during reaching in Parkinsonian patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing foot insole in people with Parkinson Disease, run by Kwan-Hwa Lin at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 3 Jun 2019. 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 Taiwan. 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 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?

Ambulation (time frame: 1 year). 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 NCT03972241, which also lists 5 linked publications.

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 3 Jun 2019.
