Adaptive Sports for Individuals With a Physical Disability : Effect Among Stroke Survivors
- Conditions
- Stroke
- Interventions
- Other: Adaptive sports
- Registration Number
- NCT05443529
- Lead Sponsor
- Cliniques universitaires Saint-Luc- Université Catholique de Louvain
- Brief Summary
The objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of engaging in adaptive sports for individuals who have had a stroke. The study is cross-sectional, participants with stroke will be recruited and divided into two groups: the first group composed of individuals with stroke who regularly participate in adaptive sports; and the second of individuals with stroke who do not regularly participate in adaptive sports. The two groups will have to be similar in terms of demographic variables (age, gender, time since beginning of stroke). A series of parameters will be tested, on one occasion for each participant. The two groups will then be compared to one another.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Functional walking baseline Measured through a 6 minute-walk test where participants walk back and forth from one cone to another (placed 30 meters away), during 6 minutes. The distance walked in the 6 minutes is calculated.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Upper and lower limb strength baseline Measured using a manual dynamometer (microfet), in flexion, extension, adduction, abduction, internal rotation and external rotation of each limb.
Physical activity level (subjective) baseline Measured by the Physical activity scale for individuals with physical disabilities. Scores range from 0 to 199.5 MET hour per day, where a greater score represents a greater level of physical activity.
Volume of physical activity performed daily baseline, during one week Measured by an accelerometer.
Physical endurance baseline Measured through a sub-maximal effort test on cycle ergometer.
Balance baseline Measured by the Activities-specific balance confidence scale. Scores range from 0 to 160, where higher score mean better confidence in balance.
Intensity of physical activity performed daily baseline, during one week Measured by a heart rate monitor
Motor impairment baseline Measured by the Fugl-Meyer Assessment. The score ranges from 0-226, where lower scores represent greater motor impairment.
Functional autonomy baseline Measured using the Functional Independence Measure. Total scores range from 8 to 126 points. A lower score corresponds to complete dependence/no autonomy.
Functional walking capacity baseline Measured by the timed up and go test.
Functional walking speed baseline Measured by the 10 meter walk test.
Satisfaction with quality of life baseline Measured by the EUROHIS-QOL (European Health Interview Survey, Quality of Life) 8 item questionnaire. Scores range from 0 to 40, with a greater score representing a better quality of life.
Locomotion ability baseline Measured by the Abiloco questionnaire. Score ranges from 0 to 13, where lower scores represent loss locomotion ability.
Fatigue baseline Measured by the fatigue severity scale. Scores range from 9 to 63 where a higher score represents greater fatigue severity.
Social participation baseline Measured by the Return to normal living index, a scale ranging from 0 to 100, with a greater score for greater social participation.
