NCT02345694

Brief Summary

The purpose of this randomised controlled study is to determine the impact of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) versus sub-therapeutic CPAP (placebo) on the control of gait upon severe sleep apnea patients, based on stride time variability.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change from baseline of stride time coefficient of variation at 8 weeks

    The stride time will be recorded during an overground walking test, under single (walking alone) and dual-task (walking while performing a cognitive task) condition. The cognitive task used in our protocol is an electronic Stroop test, displayed on a screen at the end of the 10 meters walkway. The coefficient of variation allows us to estimate stride time variability, known to be the reflect of gait control efficiency when it exhibits low values.

    Baseline and 8 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (11)

  • Change from baseline of single support time and percentage at 8 weeks

    Baseline and 8 weeks

  • Change from baseline of double support time and percentage at 8 weeks

    Baseline and 8 weeks

  • Change from baseline of gait speed at 8 weeks

    Baseline and 8 weeks

  • Change from baseline of step length at 8 weeks

    Baseline and 8 weeks

  • Change from baseline of step width at 8 weeks

    Baseline and 8 weeks

  • +6 more secondary outcomes

Other Outcomes (2)

  • Change from baseline in Dual Task Cost (DTC) at 8 weeks

    Baseline and 8 weeks

  • Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Observance at 8 weeks

    8 weeks
