Overview
People with neuromotor disability (i.e. following an inborn or acquired spinal cord, cerebral or peripheral neurological lesion) are at risk of worsening their neuro-orthopaedic disorders during aging, including fracture risk. Nevertheless, at the present time, the natural evolution of their neuro-orthopedic disorders and the long-term functional impact of their medical and surgical treatments is unknown. The aim of this study is to describe neuro-orthopedic disorders during aging of patients with neuromotor disability, their functional repercussions, their comorbidities and the therapeutic strategies used.
Detailed description
This is an ambispective, monocentric, cohort study of subjects with neuromotor disability followed in a Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department.
All consecutive eligible inpatient and outpatient subjects treated in the Neuro Orthopaedic Unit (UPOH) of the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department of our university hospital will be included.
Data will be collected from the patients' medical records, in particular data related to their clinical, radiological, biological and physiological examinations.
Interventions
- Other standard of care for patients with neuromotor disability
clinical examination, radiological, biological and physiological examinations.
Primary outcome measures
- Evolution of mobility during aging [Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year]
Secondary outcome measures (7)
- Prevalence of falls and fractures [Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year]
- Characteristics of infiltrative procedures and surgeries [Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year]
- Changes of devices (orthoses and prostheses) and technical aids used during aging [Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year]
- Changes of physical activity, as well as barriers and facilitators to physical activity, during aging [Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year]
- Evolution of comorbidities during aging [Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year]
- Medication [Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year]
- Prevalence of pressure sores [Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year]
