NCT05373511 | Completed DMC

• 1 other identifier: REC-22-01-12
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 124
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to assess the relationship between body posture and dynamic balance in adults with childhood-onset asthma and compare them to a non-asthmatic control group matched for gender, age, weight, and height.

Conditions

Bronchial Asthma

Keywords

body Posture; dynamic Balance; Biodex Balance System; DIERS FORMETRIC 4D posture analysis

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• body posture assessment using DIERS FORMETRIC 4D,

  From a single image, the instrument will generate 40 named spine shape parameters, like( lateral deviation (mm), trunk imbalance (mm), shoulder tilt (mm) )

  baseline

• postural balance assessment by biodex balance system machine

  Double Leg Eyes Open (DLEO) Degree (angle), Double Leg Eyes Closed (DLEC) Degree (angle), Single Leg Eyes Open (SLEO) Degree (angle), single Leg Eyes closed (SLEC) Degree (angle), Overall Balance/stability Index (OBI/OSI )Degree (angle), ANT/POST Balance Index (APBI )Degree (angle), MED/LAT Balance Index (MLBI)Degree (angle),

  baseline

Study Arms (2)

bronchial asthma

Inclusion criteria: Participants over the age of 18 who have had mild to moderate bronchial asthma since childhood and have been referred by a pulmonologist or physician Exclusion criteria: Participants with other health issues such as cardiorespiratory issues, neurological deficits or diseases such as nerve compressions, any chronic diseases or suffering from respiratory tract infections, participants with a history of previous serious injuries to the musculoskeletal system, which may result in body posture disturbances Any disease that impairs one's sense of balance

Other: 3D/4D spine and posture analysis "DIERS FORMETRIC 4D" ,The Biodex Balance System SD-

non-asthmatic control group:

Inclusion and Exclusion criteria for non-asthmatic control group: Inclusion criteria: For the healthy subjects referred by a consultant pulmonologist/physician, age- and gender-matched volunteers were recruited from the community Exclusion criteria: Other health issues, such as cardiorespiratory issues, neurological deficits, musculoskeletal problems, and peripheral vascular diseases\& pregnancy may affect test performance.

Other: 3D/4D spine and posture analysis "DIERS FORMETRIC 4D" ,The Biodex Balance System SD-
