Cross-over Study of Three Modular Devices for Aid in Patient Standing and Transfer

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 30 (actual)
• Sponsor: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nīmes · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 75 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The main objective of this study is to evaluate via a physiological analysis of the movements involved in standing, the level of forward flexion of the spine (in cm on the horizontal axis) obtained with the apparatus "Tina" and to compare levels obtained in the same patients with stander/transfer devices "Turner" and "Vertic'Easy".

Detailed description

Secondary objectives of this study are to compare the three devices in terms of: * the level recovery of the spine on the vertical axis (vertical displacement C7, cm) * standing time, defined by the time between the start of the forward flexion and the beginning of the vertical stabilization phase (seconds) * the success rate of the verticalization of the patient (the attempt is considered successful when the vertical position is held for 10 seconds).

Conditions

• Mobility Limitation

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Standing attempts with the "Vertic'Easy" Device	Included patients had never used any of the three devices evaluated in this study. Therefore the patient will make two attempts at standing on each device to enable him/her to get used to the device at the first attempt. A video recording will be made from a camera positioned laterally. Only the results of the second attempt will be a kinematic analysis and will be used for analyzes.
