Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of the study is to determine if patients wearing a CAM walker boot have a change in weight compared to patients who wear a CAM boot and are provided nutritional and upper body exercise information.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study objectives are: (1) Determine if patients wearing a CAM (Controlled Ankle Movement) walker boot have a change in weight compared to patients who wear a CAM boot and are provided nutritional and upper body exercises (gender appropriate) information at the time the CAM boot is dispensed; and (2) Determine, if weight is gained or lost, the average amount gained/lost over the treatment period.

Nutrition and Exercise Counseling

CAM boot prescribed as standard of care Nutritional counseling provided Upper body exercise counseling provided Blood drawn for Albumin level at enrollment and final visit Height and weight measured at enrollment and final visit Patients in this arm compared with patients in control arm

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Nutrition and Exercise Counseling

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Patients are prescribed CAM boot and provided nutritional and upper body exercise counseling at the time the CAM boot is dispensed. Patients will be given a diary to complete their daily meal intake (optional), seated upper body physical exercise guidelines and asked to perform them three days per week and each exercise three times per session if able. They will be asked to record number of hours CAM boot is worn daily in the Patient Diary, if one is utilized. Albumin lab test will be drawn and their height and weight measured.

Control

CAM boot prescribed as standard of care No nutritional or exercise counseling provided Blood drawn for Albumin level at enrollment and final visit Height and weight measured at enrollment and final visit

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Control

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Patients are prescribed CAM boot. No nutritional or exercise guidelines will be provided. Patients will be given a diary to complete their daily meal intake and physician exercise (if any) and number of hours CAM boot is worn daily. Albumin lab test will be drawn and their height and weight measured.
