About
The goal of this clinical trial is to test in people with down syndrome how does the INTORUS tool influence their psychomotor development. The main question it aims to answer is:
Each session will consist of several exercises with their corresponding rest breaks described in the Intervention Protocol. Each session attendance will be recorded following an attendance record model created for the occasion.
Participants will be divided into two groups randomly. The control group will receive an intervention treatment at the psychomotor level in the traditional way, following the protocols established in the center, and the intervention group will receive an intervention treatment at the psychomotor level with the INTORUS device.
Randomization will be carried out using the Oxford Minimization and Randomization software.
Full description
POPULATION The population of interest are users of the Functional Habilitation Service of the Centers of the Down Syndrome Association of Cáceres and Plasencia
INCLUSION CRITERIA
EXCLUSION CRITERIA
A total of approximately 100 users will participate in the study. Participants will be divided into two groups randomly. The control group will receive an intervention treatment at the psychomotor level in the traditional way, following the protocols established in the center, and the intervention group will receive an intervention treatment at the psychomotor level with the INTORUS device.
Randomization will be carried out using the OxMaR (Oxford Minimization and Randomization) software.
PROJECT REGISTRATION The project has been approved by the Bioethics and Biosafety Commission of the University of Extremadura as of 12/19/2022.
INTERVENTION PROGRAM
The intervention program will be carried out during the Functional Habilitation sessions and will be carried out by the center's professionals. These sessions must be carried out in a quiet environment, without distractions so that the user can concentrate on carrying out the activities. It is important that the user attends the sessions in comfortable, sleeveless clothing, to allow the tool to slide smoothly through their upper limbs.
Each session will consist of several exercises with their corresponding rest breaks described in the Intervention Protocol. Each session attendance will be recorded following an attendance record model created for the occasion.
INTERVENTION PROTOCOL
To carry out the intervention sessions, all participants will follow the same protocol for the use of INTORUS. It is a protocol created for the study of increasing difficulty in which the participants advance to a higher level once they have passed the lower level.
EVALUATION
The evaluations will be carried out prior to the start of treatment, at 20 weeks of treatment and at 40 weeks of treatment once the intervention program has concluded.
The tools used to carry out the evaluation will be:
Once the intervention period is over, a questionnaire will be passed to the professionals participating in the study to assess the usefulness of the device, the degree of satisfaction with it and the usefulness of the therapies applied, and a satisfaction questionnaire for participants adapted for easy reading. to know the degree of satisfaction and usefulness of the tool on the part of the participants.
TIMELINE
The intervention consists of 40 treatment sessions lasting 45 minutes each with a frequency of 2 days a week in which the intervention protocol described in Annex 7 described above will be developed. (15 min from Intorus) Previously, the participants will receive a "session 0" in which they will carry out a first contact with the device.
