Study arms

  • Experimental
    Eurythmy Therapy Movement "R"

    EYT exercise "R": Positioned between two steps and forearms parallel to the ground, the patient performs a rolling movement like wheels on a wagon. The movement is positioned below shoulder height and is initiated from the shoulder blade.

    Other: Eurythmy Therapy Movement "R"

  • Experimental
    Eurythmy Therapy Movement "L"

    EYT exercise "L": In a circular and flowing movement the patient leads his hands upwards in front of his body and down again laterally. During elevation of the arms, the patient performs a small hop onto the toes and into knock knees. Lowering his arms, he releases the legs and straightens up again.

    Other: Eurythmy Therapy Movement "L"

  • Experimental
    Eurythmy Therapy Movement "B"

    EYT exercise "B": The patient describes an embracing movement with both arms and the left leg while balancing on one foot. He then returns to the initial position and repeats the movement using the other leg.

    Other: Eurythmy Therapy Movement "B"

  • Active comparator
    Normal movements during walking or standing

    Control exercise: Participants slowly walk across the room, their arms swinging in a natural way. This was designed to control for the most basic upright movement, shifting thermoregulation from resting conditions to exercise conditions, triggering non-thermal factors.

    Other: Normal movements during walking or standing

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jul 19, 2017, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
