Trial Outcomes & Findings for Cerebral Palsy: Ankle Foot Orthoses - Footwear Combinations (NCT NCT03756571)

NCT ID: NCT03756571

Last Updated: 2021-10-14

Results Overview

The Gait Profile Score (GPS) represents the pattern of deviation as a single number and is derived from the same individual joint/limb gait kinematics as Gait Deviation Index (GDI) The GPS minimum value is 0 and maximum value is 20. A higher score is a worse outcome. An minimally clinically important difference is published to be 1.6 for children with CP.

Participant Flow

All participants were approached and recruited through clinical care at Seattle Children's Hospital (SCH) or regionally by study team, once clinically deemed to meet inclusion criteria.

This was a randomized cross over design where those who randomized to TSAFO group first then crossed over without a washout period to the AFOFC treatment arm after 3 months of wearing the TSAFO.

Gait Deviation Index (GDI) as a value representing overall gait deviation from a normal kinematic profile (0 to 120 scale) captures cumulative changes occurring at multiple joints and segments by side left/right. GDI has been shown to have concurrent validity with gross motor function and functional walking levels in children with CP. A score \> 100 is considered in the normal range. A higher score is a better outcome.

Gait speed will be captured during the three dimensional gait analysis testing. Gait speed is measured in meters per second (m/sec) with range from 0 to \~ 3.0 m/sec for walking in children. A higher number of m/sec is considered a better outcome with minimally clinically important difference (MCID) of .10 m/s for persons with CP.

Community walking activity will be captured by the ankle worn StepWatch ® accelerometer capturing change in average strides/day. The StepWatch ® is a two dimension accelerometer validated to capture when the foot leaves the ground for a metric of stride counts within the context of daily life. Average strides/day can range from 0 to unlimited strides/day. A higher number of strides/day is considered a better outcome.

Gait Outcomes Assessment List (GOAL) - The Gait Outcomes Assessment List (GOAL) is a outcome assessment to evaluate gait priorities and functional mobility for ambulant children with CP. The GOAL range of standard scores is 0 to 100 with a high score a better outcome. The GOAL will allow clinicians to better understand the motor abilities, priorities, and expectations of ambulant children with CP and to improve decision-making about appropriate interventions. The GOAL consists of 48 items grouped into seven domains: 1) activities of daily living and independence; 2) gait function and mobility; 3) pain, discomfort and fatigue; 4) physical activities, sports and recreation; 5) gait pattern and appearance; 6) use of braces and mobility aids; and 7) body image and self-esteem.
