One commonly performed activity of daily living (ADL) provided by informal caregivers is assisted transfers, which requires moving an individual from one surface to another. Approximately 94% of informal caregivers who assist with ADLs to persons with adult-onset chronic physical disabilities affecting mobility reported musculoskeletal discomfort, with pain and discomfort made worse by performing caregiving activities. Although many informal caregivers assist with transfers, most have never received any formal training in proper manual lifting or mechanical lifting techniques. Improper transfer techniques can be detrimental to not only caregiver health but also to the persons they assist resulting in shoulder injury, bruising and pain from manual lift techniques, hip fractures from falls, and skin tears from shear force that occurs with sliding during transfers. Current standard of care provides limited in-person training of caregivers, as most of the rehabilitation process is client-focused. When training is provided clinicians have no means to objectively evaluate if proper techniques are being performed at discharge or when the caregiver and care recipient return home. For this reason, an outcome measure called the Caregiver Assisted Transfer Technique Instrument (CATT) was developed to provide a quick, objective way to evaluate proper technique of caregivers who provide transfer assistance to individuals with disabilities. The CATT evaluates the caregiver's performance on setup, quality of the task performance, and results. After a formal assessment through stakeholder review involving clinicians, informal caregivers, and individuals with physical disabilities who require transfer assistance, the CATT was expanded to include two versions; one that evaluates manual lift technique (CATT-M) and one that evaluates mechanical lift techniques (CATT-L). However, the CATT must undergo further testing with informal caregivers and the individuals they assist to determine if the CATT is a reliable, valid, and responsive tool for identifying skill deficits in caregivers performing assisted transfers. The purpose of this study is to establish the psychometric properties (reliability, validity, and responsiveness) of the CATT and to evaluate the effects of an individualized training session for participants who have transfer technique deficits as identified by the CATT. The long-term goal of this research is to develop the CATT so that it can be used as an objective indicator of transfer performance as well as guide training and educational interventions for informal caregivers to reduce the risk of musculoskeletal pain and injury associated with assisted transfers.",[129,130,29],"Informal Caregivers","Low Back Pain",[132,133,134,135,136],"caregivers","outcome assessment, health care","wheelchairs","physical medicine and rehabilitation","moving and lifting patients","2025-07-29",{"date":139,"type":45},"2025-07-30",{"date":141,"type":45},"2024-07-24",{"date":143,"type":21},"2026-10-31",{"name":145,"class":146},"VA Office of Research and Development","FED",{"id":148,"slug":149,"hasResults":11,"nctId":150,"briefTitle":151,"officialTitle":152,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":153,"healthyVolunteers":61,"sex":154,"minAge":155,"maxAge":156,"enrollmentInfo":157,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":22,"phases":4,"briefSummary":159,"conditions":160,"keywords":4,"overallStatus":41,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":165,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":166,"startDateStruct":168,"completionDateStruct":170,"leadSponsor":172,"locationsCount":82},"100495605","non-invasive-imaging-technique-for-the-study-of-lordosis-in-pregnant-women-and-its-relationship-to-birth-outcome-100495605","NCT05733377","Non-invasive Imaging Technique for the Study of Lordosis in Pregnant Women and Its Relationship to Birth Outcome","Validation of a Non-invasive Image Technique for Studying Pregnant Women´s Lordosis.

Years",{"count":184,"type":21},600,[67],"Regular exercise during pregnancy and postpartum leads to health benefits for mother and child. Inactivity during pregnancy and after delivery is now treated as risky behavior. Physically active pregnant women significantly less often suffer from, among others, gestational diabetes, excessive weight gain, lipids disorders, hypertension, preeclampsia, depressive symptoms, functional and structural disorders, including stress urinary incontinence, back pain or diastasis recti abdominis (DRA). Prenatal physical activity reduces the risk of premature delivery and miscarriage, fetal macrosomia, complications in labor or the risk of metabolic disorders in children.\n\nHigh-intensity interval training (HIIT) has become one of the most popular trends in the fitness sector. The effectiveness of HIIT on a number of health indicators has been proven in various populations but limited data are available on HIIT during pregnancy.\n\nThe first hypothesis is that the HIIT, implemented during pregnancy and after childbirth, as a stronger exercise stimulus, will have a better impact on selected biological and psychological parameters of mothers, as well as on selected health parameters of their children, compared to the MICT (moderate intensity continuous training). Therefore, it promises better preventive effects on pregnancy complications and ailments as well as non-communicable diseases occurring in these populations. In the second hypothesis, it was assumed that HIIT and MICT implemented during pregnancy and after childbirth, tailored to the specific needs of the perinatal period, will not differ in the effectiveness of maintaining normal functional parameters in women, including prevention of urinary incontinence, back pain, DRA, etc.\n\nPregnant women who apply for the study will be divided into three groups: those attending the HIIT, MICT or educational programs.
