An interventional study of water consumption in Aging and Dehydration, sponsored by Soroka University Medical Center. Completed at 1 site in Israel. Open to participants aged 65 Years to 95 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-04-19.
Sponsored by Soroka University Medical Center · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
Experimental design overview The proposed project is a prospective experimental RCT study design. Independent old adults(age 65 years old and older) who do not suffer from balance problems willing to participate in the study will be tested before and after water consumption to explore whether there are differences in balance control as a result of dehydration.
Experimental design overview The proposed project is a prospective experimental study design. independent old adults(age 65 years old and older) who do not suffer from balance problems willing to participate in the study will be tested with well-established measuring techniques of Balance control before and 2 hours after mineral water consumption (1 liter) in the movement and Rehabilitation Laboratory at BGU. An automated algorithm will be used to extract standardized stabilogram-diffusion parameters from each of the COP data sets collected during quiet standing. These parameters include diffusion coefficients, critical displacement, critical time and scaling exponents for both lateral and anterior-posterior sway directions (Collins \& De Luca, 1993). For each of the conditions (before and 1 hour after the use of Ritalin) in three task conditions single task; dual task (concentrating and identifying specific music); and just Listening to a relaxing music. Participants will be required to stand on the platform 10 times for 30 s. For each trial, they will be instructed to sway as little as possible.
204 studies on the registry are indexed under Dehydration; 29 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 44 is close to the median of 43 across 147 interventional studies indexed under Dehydration.
