Trial Outcomes & Findings for The Effect of Power Posing on Timed Up and Go Test Score (NCT NCT03032393)

NCT ID: NCT03032393

Last Updated: 2020-08-10

Results Overview

Patients wear their regular footwear and can use a walking aid if needed. Begin by having the patient sit back in a standard arm chair and identify a line 3 meters or 10 feet away on the floor. The timed up and go test measures the amount of time, in seconds, that it takes to stand from a chair, walk 3 meters, turn around and walk back to the chair, and sit down again. A change between pre and post postural intervention is reported. The time point for pre intervention is at baseline. The time point for post intervention is immediately after the intervention.

• Recruitment status: COMPLETED
• Study phase: NA
• Target enrollment: 30 participants
• Primary outcome timeframe: Up to 3 minutes during each Timed up and go Test. Twice (pre and post the postural intention) at the same session (day).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 3 minutes during each Timed up and go Test. Twice (pre and post the postural intention) at the same session (day).

Patients wear their regular footwear and can use a walking aid if needed. Begin by having the patient sit back in a standard arm chair and identify a line 3 meters or 10 feet away on the floor. The timed up and go test measures the amount of time, in seconds, that it takes to stand from a chair, walk 3 meters, turn around and walk back to the chair, and sit down again.

A change between pre and post postural intervention is reported. The time point for pre intervention is at baseline. The time point for post intervention is immediately after the intervention.
