Clinical Trial: Continuous Passive Motion Versus Heterotopic Ossification
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: RECRUITING
Condition: Traumatic Brain Injury
Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
Official Title: Program of Continuous Passive Motion Exercises Against Heterotopic Ossification
Brief Summary:
The investigators hypothesize that Heterotopic Ossification (HO) formation can be suppressed if the application of a Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) device can be performed for a substantial amount of time.The investigators will use the following study design: a pilot study with 10 ICU patients receiving CPM and 10 matched cases which will follow a conventional physiotherapy program at the time of the conduction of the study.The comparison between the treatment and referent groups of the outcomes will prove the…
