Trial Outcomes & Findings for Outcomes of Compliance With Brace Wear in Clubfoot (NCT NCT01481324)

NCT ID: NCT01481324

Last Updated: 2014-11-24

Results Overview

Number of hours per day in brace will be measured by pressure sensor at the end of month 1, month 2 and month 3. Parent report of brace wear will also be documented at each of these timepoints. Wear rate percentage will be calculated by dividing the number of hours of brace wear (either actual as measured by the sensor or reported by parent diary) by the recommended 24 hours.

Measure
Functioning Pressure Sensor Group
This group will have a functioning pressure sensor placed on the foot ankle orthosis. The group will be blinded as to whether or not the sensor is functioning.
Non-Functioning Pressure Sensor Group
This group will have a non-functioning pressure sensor (a placebo) placed on the foot ankle orthosis. The group will be blinded as to whether or not the sensor is functioning.
No Sensor Group
This group will not have a pressure sensor placed on the foot ankle orthosis.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 3 months

Number of hours per day in brace will be measured by pressure sensor at the end of month 1, month 2 and month 3. Parent report of brace wear will also be documented at each of these timepoints. Wear rate percentage will be calculated by dividing the number of hours of brace wear (either actual as measured by the sensor or reported by parent diary) by the recommended 24 hours.
