Functional Task Kinematic in Musculoskeletal Pathology.

Completed
Conditions
Musculoskeletal Disease
Interventions
Procedure: Standard Care
Registration Number
NCT03293095
Lead Sponsor
University of Malaga
Brief Summary

The aim of this project is to create references values to patients with musculoskeletal pathology using functional tasks and measuring with a smartphone and video imaging (3D motion capture cameras).

Detailed Description

Musculoskeletal pathologies can affect bones, muscles, joints and other structures related to this system. These disorders are extremely common and can have an origin from autoimmune, inflammatory, traumatic, etc. The risk of developing this pathologies increases with age.

The diagnosis could delayed by lack of information, expensive assessment or difficult execution.

Currently, you can use a Smartphone to get the same information as sensors. In addition to Smartphone, 3D motion capture systems with a camera have been frequently used to analyse kinematics and are being integrated as a rehabilitation tool in patients. The use of Smartphones and 3D motion capture cameras would help to find fast and cheap assessment methods for professionals.

GroupInterventionDescription
Match controlStandard CareHealthy people of the same age as the acute musculoskeletal pathology subjects. They will perform functional tasks measuring with motion sensors and motion capture.
Acute musculoskeletal pathology patientsStandard CareMusculoskeletal pathology patients that they will perform functional tasks measuring with motion sensors and motion capture.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Kinematic analysis by motion sensor1 hour

A smartphone will pick up positioning, motion and acceleration information from the subject

Kinematic analysis by 3D motion capture1 hour

The camera will perform a motion capture of the functional task. This system will calculate the displacement and the time of the functional task

Responsiveness1 hour

The Responsiveness Box of COSMIN checklist will be used to determinate the response to change of the Smartphone and the 3D cameras. All possible items will be followed.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Quality of life questionnaire: EuroQoL 5D1 hour

standardized instrument for use as a measure of health outcome
