An interventional study of Maxi Move 5 in Healthy Volunteers, sponsored by Arjo AB. Completed at 1 site in United Kingdom. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 85 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-08-14.
Sponsored by Arjo AB · Not applicable, Interventional, and Other
This trial aims to evaluate the added improvements from a caregiver and patient benefit perspective.
The trial should identify the forces involved for the caregiver when manoeuvring the lift.
Arjo AB is the lead sponsor of 2 studies on the registry; 1 is open to participants now.
Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
For expert patient:
80-100 kg
24 healthy volunteers (caregivers) will be recruited. They will require a strong working knowledge of passive floor lifts and patient positioning with the use of loop and clip slings.
Exclusion Criteria:
-
24 healthy volunteers will evaluate all 5 devices
Device: Maxi Move 5
4 comparative devices will be used to evaluate the MM5 device
1. Time to complete each transfer will be recorded
Time to complete each activity and each task within the activity will be measured in seconds.
Time frame: up to 24 months
2. A detailed hierarchical task analysis (HTA) of each activity will be completed using the video recordings and experimenter field notes for each transfer to asses the number of correct placements for each device.
Correct placement will be visually controlled with the use of markers on the subject and the final positioning device (e.g chair, toilet or bed) for each transfer. This will be reported as distance from the ideal position.
Time frame: up to 24 months
3. Physical load for movement of the hoist throughout the activities for each device will be measured.
Force required to complete the range of patient and hoist positioning tasks, forward, backwards, rotation movement, patient positioning etc. These forces will be used with the HTA data to calculate the amount of physical force delivered by the participants with each device and each transfer. The forces used will be presented in newton.
Time frame: up to 24 months
4 Collect subjective data from the caregivers that describe, comfort, ease of use, effort and willingness to adopt in practice, etc
This will be collected by the use of questionnaires
Time frame: up to 24 months
5 Subjective responses from the expert patient being transferred will be recorded
This will be collected by the use of questionnaires
Time frame: up to 24 months
