| Scientific title | A new method to objectively observe the function of orthopaedic patients |
| Study objectives | The use of an objective device (accelerometer) to analyse function is more accurate than the currently used methods (observing by eyes). |
| Ethics approval(s) | Received from the local ethics committee (METC Atrium MC - Maaslandziekenhuis). The commitee concluded on the 26th March 2007 that the research is not WMO- obligated and permission was granted. |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Orthopaedic patients, accelerometer |
| Intervention | An accelerometer, attached to the sacrum of the subject using an elastic belt, measures accelerations in three directions when the doctor observes the patient as usual (walk ability, sit to stand, balancing, etc). The objective outcome will be compared with the doctorsÂ’ observation and questionnaires. |
| Intervention type | Other |
| Primary outcome measure(s) |
Parameters which give information about the function of the patient like walk speed, asymmetry during walking, postural sway during balancing etc. These will be measured at the end of the doctors investigation. |
| Key secondary outcome measure(s) |
Patient data like weight, height, date of birth and the health state of the patient is collected. These will be measured at the end of the doctors investigation. |
