About this trial

This is an interventional supportive care trial for Deglutition Disorders focused on measuring Medical device

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria :

  • Present a swallowing disorder authenticated by a score Dysphagia Handicap Index above 11
  • Postural disorder authenticated by a score greater than 0 to at least 1 of the following 3 items to MCPAA: retroversion, obliquity and rotation of the pelvis
  • Autonomy Conservation compatible with the use of different seats including standard seats
  • Signing of informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Postural disorder requiring the use of only one type of installation (wheelchair or hull)
  • Spinal stiffness or non-reducible hips (spondylitis, osteosynthesis rod)
  • Not included anthropometric dimensions between:

    • Basin with between 39 and 50 cm
    • femoral length between 42 and 52 cm
    • tibial length between 39 and 44 cm (46.5 with femoral recharge), measured with the shoes.
  • Pregnant or lactating women

No introduction of a device allowing a custom sitting to help patients with swallowing disorders .

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Change from baseline in laryngeal movement during swallowing
Compare the laryngeal movement during swallowing in dysphagic population with DATP device compare to a population without device after one month of care. At Visit 1, patients were included and randomized 1 month later the patients in both groups will be invited for specific education session positioning. The introduction of the device will be carried out before the meeting for patients DATP + group, which will include a training session in the use of DATP. Patients who have the DATP will be contacted by telephone within the first 15 days to verify compliance with the use of the device. All patients returned 1 month for the last visit.

Secondary Outcome Measures

NIH Swallowing Safety Scale
The secondary outcomes are to evaluate the impact on other characteristics of swallowing, the posture, the acceptability of the device and the quality of life. Comparison before and after the treatment of dysphagia population with DATP compared to a population dysphagia.
Functional oral intake scale (FOIS)
Adult sitting postural control measure (MCPAA)
Quality questionnaire of patient's life
Using Short Form (36) Health Survey (SF-36)

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
When the seat is a vehicle for disabled person, postural adaptation methodology is known and, on prescription, there is possibility of financial support for technical posture assists. For people who use a standard seat, a chair for example, there is no satisfactory existing hardware. A transportable customisable and scalable sitting positioning device (DATP device), to be placed on a standard seat, is a solution that might fit in the home, in specialized foster homes or in institutions for the elderly. Such a device has been developed but earnings on swallowing disorders have to be validated.
