Trial Outcomes & Findings for Resveratrol and Exercise to Treat Functional Limitations in Late Life (NCT NCT02523274)

NCT ID: NCT02523274

Last Updated: 2022-01-13

Results Overview

Walking speed is assessed by asking the participants to walk at their usual pace over a 4 m course. Participants are to stand with both feet touching the starting line and to start walking after a verbal command is given, and the time needed to complete the entire distance will be recorded. The faster of two walks will be used and changes between the groups at baseline and 12 weeks will be assessed.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Change at Baseline to 12 weeks

Walking speed is assessed by asking the participants to walk at their usual pace over a 4 m course. Participants are to stand with both feet touching the starting line and to start walking after a verbal command is given, and the time needed to complete the entire distance will be recorded. The faster of two walks will be used and changes between the groups at baseline and 12 weeks will be assessed.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Change between baseline to 12 weeks

Investigators will assess lower-extremity function by asking the participants to perform a series of tasks including: walking at their usual pace over a 4 m course, repeated chair stands, and a balance test. Each task is scored from 0 to 4, with 4 indicating best level of performance and 0 the inability to complete the test. A summary score (0-12) is then calculated. Higher score on the scale is reflective of higher function and lower score reflects lower functioning. Changes between the groups at baseline and 12 weeks will be assessed.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Change at Baseline to 12 weeks

The instrument includes 16 tasks representing a broad range of disability indicators that assesses both frequency of doing a task and perceived limitation. The instrument uses a scale from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating higher levels of function.
