Study Overview

Brief Summary

The goals of this clinical trial are: to test the feasibility of identifying patients and getting patients the floor pedal bikes, to test how well floor pedal bikes help patients with lower body injuries heal, and to test methods of patient self-reported logs for home pedal bike use.

Participants will be given a floor pedal bike at first post-operative appointment where weightbearing restrictions are lifted (weight-bearing as tolerated) along with instructions on utilization. Participants will be asked to complete patient reported outcome measure surveys at each follow-up visit.

Detailed Description

The goals of this clinical trial are:

  1. to test the feasibility of identifying patients and getting patients the floor pedal bikes themselves
  2. to test the efficacy of floor pedal bikes in the rehabilitation of patients with lower extremity orthopedic trauma injuries without formal physical therapy or as a supplement to preexisting and/or future physical therapy. We hope that these bikes will either supplement patient's preexisting therapy or allow them to complete therapy at home if they are unable to obtain formal physical therapy and
  3. to test various methods of patient self-reported logs for home pedal bike utilization, whether electronic or hard paper copy.

Participants will be given a floor pedal bike at first post-operative appointment where weightbearing restrictions are lifted (weight-bearing as tolerated) along with instructions on utilization. Participants will be asked to complete patient reported outcome measure surveys at each follow-up visit.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Return to Work/Functional Activity

Time Frame: Baseline, 3, 6, 12 months

The primary assessment tool will be the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. IPAQ measures the total amount of physical activity completed in a 7 day period by calculating the minutes per week in in each physical activity level domain (walking, moderate and vigorous) by a metabolic equivalent energy (MET) expenditure estimate. Walking = 3.3 x number of walking minutes x number of walking days Moderate activity= 4.0 x number activity minutes x number of days Vigorous activity = 8 x number of activity minutes x number of days Total = Walking MET-min/wk+moderate MET-min/wk+vigorous MET-min/wk

Secondary Outcomes

  • Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC)(Baseline, 3, 6, 12 months)
  • Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK)(Baseline, 3, 6, 12 months)
  • Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS)(Baseline, 3, 6, 12 months)
  • Veterans RAND 12 Item Health Survey (VR-12)(Baseline, 3, 6, 12 months)
  • PROMIS Pain Interference Short Form(3, 6, 12 months)
  • PROMIS Physical Function Short Form(3, 6, 12 months)
  • Brief Pain Inventory (BPI)(3, 6, 12 months)
  • Performance test - Timed up and go test(3, 6, 12 months)
  • Performance test - Five time sit to stand test(3, 6, 12 months)
  • Performance test - 10 meter walk test (Gait)(3, 6, 12 months)
