About this study

The aim of this study is to investigate the validity of Sens Motion and ActivPAL acitivity monitors. Thirthy-six patients from three different patient populations will be included: 12 acute high-risk abdominal surgery patients (+18 years), 12 hip fracture patients (+65) and 12 older medical patients (+65).

Each patient will be asked to wear two sets of activity monitors while performing a predefined researcher-supervised protocol consisting of a range of positions and activities including lying down, sitting, standing and walking.

Observations measured by time in each position will be used as a golden standard for physical activity and thus compared with the data produced by the acitivity monitors.

Read the detailed description

The study will investigate the association between activity measured by Sens Motion and ActivPAL acitivity monitors, respectively, and direct observation in order to investigate to which degree the two types of activity monitors are able to classify activity (i.e. lying, sitting, standing, walking, up/down transitions and steps).

Thirty-six patients from three different patient populations will be included: 12 acute high-risk abdominal surgery patients (+18 years), 12 hip fracture patients (+65) and 12 older medical patients (+65). Inclusion criteria to be fullfilled: 1) admission from own home. Patients will be excluded for the following reasons: inability to walk independently with or without a walking aid; inability to transfer from lying to sitting, inability to transfer from sitting to standing, inability to cooperate, and inability to speak or understand Danish.

Each patient will be asked to wear two sets of activity monitors (on the right thigh and on the chest) while performing a predefined, supervised protocol consisting of a range of positions and activities including lying down, sitting, standing and walking.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hip Fractures and Abdominal Surgery, run by Mette Merete Pedersen at 1 site in Denmark.

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 Nov 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 Denmark. 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?

Agreement between classification of activity by activity monitors and direct observation (time frame: Approximately 20 minutes). 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 NCT04120740, 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 21 Nov 2019.
