What participants receive

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

  • Rehabilitative interventionOther

    Active rehabilitation programs were done for all patients. Participants were asked to attend exercise program at PT room or bedside. Exercise program was offered once or twice daily on weekdays, by trained kinesiologists. In PT programs, most patients performed strengthening exercise of lower extremities, balance training, sit-up training, sit-to-stand training and gait training for about 30 minutes. Each program was individualized to participants' current physical function. In bedside programs, patients also underwent strengthening exercise and balance training without gait training for about 10 minutes. The duration of exercise program at PT room depends on the patient's condition(upto 1 month).

What is being measured

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

  1. Change of Functional Ambulation Classification

    0~5 score. FAC 0(Nonfunctional ambulator), FAC1(Ambulator, dependent on physical assistance - Indicates a patient who requires continuous manual contact to support body weight as well as to maintain balance or to assist coordination), FAC 2(Ambulator, dependent on physical assistance - Indicates a patient who requires intermittent or continuous light touch to assist balance or coordination), FAC3(Ambulator, dependent on supervision), FAC4(Ambulator, independent level surface only), FAC5(Ambulator, independent). Higher score means better outcome.

    Measured: at baseline, immediately after rehabilitation completion, and 1-month after rehabilitation completion

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Change of Appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (ASMI)

    [Kilogram Per Square Meter]

    Measured: at baseline, immediately after rehabilitation completion, and 1-month after rehabilitation completion

  2. Change of Medical Research Council (MRC) sum score

    0~60 score.

    Measured: at baseline, immediately after rehabilitation completion, and 1-month after rehabilitation completion

  3. Change of handgrip strength

    [Lb].

    Measured: at baseline, immediately after rehabilitation completion, and 1-month after rehabilitation completion

  4. Change of number of 1-min sit-to-stand

    Number of repetitions of sit-to-stand within one minute. Higher score means better outcome.

    Measured: at baseline, immediately after rehabilitation completion, and 1-month after rehabilitation completion

  5. Change of walking speed

    [meter per second]. Walking speed is measured by 10-meter walking test. If a patient cannot accomplish 10-meter walking test, 4-meter walking test is used instead. Higher score means better outcome.

    Measured: at baseline, immediately after rehabilitation completion, and 1-month after rehabilitation completion

  6. Change of Berg balance scale

    0~56 score. Berg balance scale is 14-item objective measure that assesses static balance and fall risk in adults. Each item consists of a five-point ordinal scale(0 to 4), with 0 indicating the lowest level of function and 4 the highest level of function. Higher score means better outcome.

    Measured: at baseline, immediately after rehabilitation completion, and 1-month after rehabilitation completion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of COVID-19, run by Seoul National University Bundang Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 5 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Jul 2022. 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 South Korea. 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?

Change of Functional Ambulation Classification (time frame: at baseline, immediately after rehabilitation completion, and 1-month after rehabilitation completion). 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 NCT05104411, 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 19 Jul 2022.
