Tokyo, Aug. 20 -- UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR) received information related to the study (UMIN000058805) titled 'Research on the gait patterns of individuals with hip disorders' on Aug. 20.

Study Type: Interventional

Study Design: Basic Design - Parallel Randomization - Non-randomized Blinding - Open -no one is blinded Control - Placebo

Primary Sponsor: Institute - The University of Osaka

Condition: Condition - Patients with hip joint disorders, primarily focusing on proximal femoral fractures Classification by malignancy - Others Genomic information - NO

Objective: Narrative objectives1 - Postoperative gait recovery rates are low in patients with proximal femur fractures. Since gait inherently depends on the coordinated function of all lower limb muscles, there is a need to shift rehabilitation from focusing on functional improvement around the injury site to focusing on muscle coordination across the entire lower limb. Previous observational studies have reported that individuals who achieve independent walking after postoperative rehabilitation exhibit a specific muscle coordination pattern. This study aims to investigate the effect of introducing rubber tube support and electrical stimulation therapy as interventions to promote this muscle coordination pattern Basic objectives2 - Efficacy

Intervention: Interventions/Control_1 - Elastic band-based external tendon support Interventions/Control_2 - electrical stimulation

Eligibility: Age-lower limit - 60 years-old <= Age-upper limit - Not applicable Gender - Male Key inclusion criteria - Patients who have undergone hip joint surgery Patients who have achieved cane ambulation Patients who have given their informed consent Key exclusion criteria - Patients with cognitive impairment who can't understand the task Patients unable to walk 10 meters with a cane Patients with other diseases that impair walking Target Size - 30

Recruitment Status: Recruitment status - Preinitiation Date of protocol fixation - 2023 Year 10 Month 19 Day Anticipated trial start date - 2023 Year 10 Month 19 Day Last follow-up date - 2028 Year 08 Month 31 Day
