Active clinical trials for "Mobility Limitation"

The goal of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of multifaceted rehabilitation program in Veterans 65 years and older. This study will also examine the neuromuscular and cognitive attributes that contribute to clinically meaningful improvements in mobility; and determine whether a novel mode of cognitive training can enhance cognition among mobility limited primary care Veterans 65 years and older.

Investigators propose a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to test the efficacy of the revised 4-month BAILAMOS© program for improving lifestyle PA and health outcomes (physical and cognitive function, self-reported functional limitations, disability) in sedentary older Latinos at risk for disability relative to an attention control group.

The primary objective is to study the effect of Denosumab on Bone Mineral Density, Standardised Uptake Value and bone metabolism in patients with total hip arthroplasty. The primary hypothesis is to demonstrate that Denosumab is superior to placebo.

The proposed clinical trial is aimed at demonstrating the important role wheelchairs play in preventing pressure ulcers (bed sores). Although most pressure ulcers can be prevented, they are common in nursing home settings because their causes are difficult to identify. This clinical trial will guide practitioners toward improving preventive care practices by demonstrating how to effectively apply wheelchair and seat cushion technology.

The proposed research project aims to answer the question "Are immersive technology systems effective in the rehabilitation management of pediatric patients with cerebral palsy and with mobility limitations?". The current study is the first of three phases, and it aims to create an immersive gamification technology system for the management of patients with cerebral palsy and with mobility disorders and to determine its acceptability, usability, and safety in healthy children.

The investigators propose a randomized control trial to evaluate long term effects and effectiveness of Moore Balance Brace (MBB) ankle foot orthoses (AFO) in reducing risk of falling in older adults. Primary Endpoints • Characterize the impact of MBB AFO on balance, gait, risk of falling, frailty status, and adverse events Secondary Endpoints • Characterize the Impact of MBB AFO on spontaneous daily physical activities • Characterize the feasibility of the MBB AFO device on patient adherence, acceptability, user-friendliness, and perception of benefit for daily usage

Frailty in older adults is a consequence of physical inactivity, which leads to poor physical function, disability and poor health outcomes. Nearly 60% of older adults report inactivity. Emotion regulation strategies have affective, cognitive and social consequences. Positive emotions are significantly associated with a higher ability to perform activities of daily living. There is a gap in the understanding of how exercise influences the selection of emotion regulation strategies (avoidant vs. adaptive) in frail older adults. The investigators propose to examine the interactions between regular exercise, selection of emotional regulation strategies, and daily physical activity in frail sedentary older adults.

in this study, it was aimed to examine the effect of the modular carrying system on the outcomes of care in the mobilization of patients with a chest tube. The population of the study consisted of patients followed in Yedikule Chest Diseases, and Thoracic Surgery Training and Research Hospital between October 2019 and January 2021, and the sample consisted of 83 patients who met the inclusion criteria. The study was performed with the intervention group (n=37) mobilized with the Modular medical equipment carrying vehicle and the control group (n=46) mobilized with the routine application.

Almost 90 percent of residents living in long-term care facilities have some type of mobility limitation, which worsens quickly once they move into a long-term care facility. This means that they cannot easily walk or move around in their day-to-day lives and this can have serious consequences for their general health and well-being. Researchers have shown that exercise can help the mobility of even the oldest of adults but elderly residents in long-term care facilities still commonly sit or lie in bed for long periods of time, in many cases for most of their waking hours. The purpose of this research is to study the effect of a simple physical activity on the mobility and quality of life of residents in long-term care facilities. Researchers will introduce a sit-to-stand activity to health care aides which will become part of their daily routine with residents. The basic sit-to-stand movement is already a part of the daily activities that health care aides do with residents. Specifically, health care aides will ask residents to repeat the sit-to-stand activity at mealtimes, when using the toilet, and on other occasions of daily activity. An important part of this research is to find out how well the activity preserves the ability of residents to stay mobile and also to examine how this will improve their quality of life in the home. The MOVE study will demonstrate whether it is possible to delay the loss of mobility in long-term care residents by incorporating the sit-to-stand activity into the regular practice of health care aides.
