An interventional study of Braking and functionality in Osteoarthritis and Total Hip Arthroplasty, sponsored by University Hospital Tuebingen. Completed at 1 site in Germany. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 85 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2016-02-02.
Sponsored by University Hospital Tuebingen · Not applicable, Interventional, and Diagnostic
Several studies exist on patient performance in drive simulators especially around and after surgery. Recommendations concerning the ability to drive preoperatively are based on these studies, which generated their data using drive simulators. However, in all the datasets driving performance remains highly individual. Since a drive simulator is not readily available in normal general practitioner surgeries it would be helpful to have convenient clinical tests to evaluate a patients individual ability to perform an emergency stop. This study aims at evaluating different possibilities how such performance might be predicted. Patients with hip osteoarthritis and patients who have received total hip arthroplasty are tested clinically and their results are compared with the gold standard experiment - a drive simulator.
4,398 studies on the registry are indexed under Osteoarthritis; 583 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 100 is above the median of 70 across 3,440 interventional studies indexed under Osteoarthritis.

Exclusion Criteria:
Cohort testing of driving performance in a drive simulator and correlation with clinical functionality in patients with hip osteoarthritis
Other: Braking and functionality
Cohort testing of driving performance in a drive simulator and correlation with clinical functionality in patients with total hip arthroplasty
Other: Braking and functionality
Correlation of an index of manual reaction time combined with functional hip tests and braking performance
Evaluation of degree of correlation of braking performance (total brake response time) and clinical testing of hip functionality in patients with hip osteoarthritis or total hip arthroplasty. The measure is a composite measure of multiple different tests. If a sufficient correlation between the composite measure and braking performance is observed a regression model will be developed. One time point of evaluation for each participant.
Time frame: Osteoarthritis group: cross sectional at consultation, Total hip arthroplasty group: cross-sectional - from 5 weeks postoperatively until 400 months postoperatively, at consultation
