Application of 3D Scanner to Measure Physical Size in Patients With Severe Cerebral Palsy

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Cerebral Palsy, Spastic
Interventions
Device: Application of 3D scanner to measure physical size in patients with severe cerebral palsy
Registration Number
NCT05388422
Lead Sponsor
Seoul National University Hospital
Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to improve the manufacturing techniques of hip brace in preventing progressive hip displacement in patients with severe cerebral palsy, through the measurement of patient's physical size using a 3D scanner.

Detailed Description

1. Design : Prospective Study

2. Setting: Hospital rehabilitation department and Home

3. Intervention: Before starting the study, radiologic and clinical evaluation were performed. After measuring the patient's exact physical size by applying a 3D scanner, we manufacture hip brace in preventing progressive hip displacement in patients with severe cerebral palsy. After wearing for a week, follow-up radiologic and clinical evaluation were performed.

4. Main outcome measure 1) Primary outcome: right, left, both hip MI 2) Secondary outcomes: the hip and knee joint range of motion (ROM), pain intensity, satisfaction and discomfort score for the hip brace, quality of life (QOL) of the patients and their caregivers, and the wearability test.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Migration index1 weeks

Hip AP radiography

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Caregiver Priorities & Child Health Index of Life with Disabilities (CPCHILD)1 weeks

measure the quality of life expressed by score from 0 to 100. The higher the quality of life.

Likert scale (score)1 weeks

measure the satisfaction, and discomfort about hip protection orthosis expressed by score from 1 to 5. The closer to 1, the higher the satisfaction or comfort.

Range of motion of hip joint1 weeks

Using goniometer, measure the hip and knee abduction and flexion angle expressed by degree from 0' to 180'. The closer to 180', the better the value.

wearability test1 weeks

the Wearability Test consisted of four questions on wearing sensation, five questions about on fit, and four questions on motion suitability evaluation. Each item was scored on 5-point scale, with a total score of 65.

Visual analog scale (Pain index)1 weeks

measure the pain expressed by score from 0 to 10. The closer to 10, the higher the pain.
