Official title
A Game-based Foot & Ankle Exercise Program to Increase Efficacy Of Compression Garments At Managing Edema
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The present study aims to use a game-based tele-exercise program for patients using a compression garment to improve lower extremity edema. This tele-exercise gaming platform can work as an efficient exercise to improve patients' muscle strength. It also can be helpful in improving edema and venous return and can be used in addition to compression garments to increase efficacy. The sample size (n=30) is convenient and designed to explore acceptability and feasibility. Eligible participants will be screened at the Baylor college of Medicine Clinic based on the inclusion/exclusion criteria. Participants who satisfy the inclusion and exclusion criteria and sign the informed consent form will be randomly assigned with ratio of 1:1 into two groups. Both groups will receive a compression garment to use for 4 weeks, and in the intervention group, patients will receive a sensor and a tablet to play foot \& ankle exercise games twice a day for 5 minutes. Study participation will be 4 weeks for all participants. Participants will be assessed in two visits: a baseline visit (BL) and a visit at the end of the 4 weeks (W4). The primary outcomes will be calf circumference, foot volume, and pitting edema grade. Secondary outcomes include limb strength, foot perfusion, gait assessment (gait speed, stride length, double stance, and gait steadiness), balance, and quality of life. The coordinator will monitor patients weekly to see their adherence to the compression garment and game-based exercise.
