NCT04229108 | Unknown

• 1 other identifier: MEDOPAD007
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 20
• Locations: 0 countries
• Sites: N/A

Brief Summary

The question this feasibility study aims to answer is whether or not participants are able to accurately and reliably perform and self record the timed up and go test in a non-clinical environment using the Medopad application. This forms part of a larger question of whether or not a more frequently performed TUG test, could act as a physical activity marker.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Time difference between traditional and digitised timed up and go test

  The primary outcome measure will be to record the time taken to complete the traditional timed up and go test versus the time taken when the test is performed by non-clinicians in a non-clinical setting using the Medopad application TUG module. Time will be measured in minutes and seconds.

  1-2 month

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Accelerometer data produced during the performance of all timed up and go tests.

  1-2 month

• Gyroscope data produced during the performance of all timed up and go tests.

  1-2 months

Other Outcomes (1)

• Qualitative research questionnaire into patient satisfaction with the study and timed up and go module

  1-2 month
