Clinical Trial Data on Lower-Limb Training for Tracheostomy Patients

36 patients with tracheostomy and CNS injuries were enrolled in a 14-day randomized crossover trial. The dataset contains results assessing the efficacy of active-passive lower-limb training versus additional physiotherapy on improving peak cough flow and respiratory muscle thickness. It supports research into rehabilitative approaches for decannulation challenges.

Use Cases

• Comparing intervention efficacy based on peak cough flow (PCF) measurements
• Analyzing changes in ultrasound-derived respiratory muscle thickness across assessment days
• Evaluating the impact of intervention sequence (CA vs. AC) on clinical outcomes
• Studying the relationship between Glasgow Coma Scale scores and cough capacity improvement

Strengths

• Data originates from a structured randomized controlled trial with a crossover design, a gold standard for clinical evidence
• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0, facilitating reuse and sharing
• Study includes a control group and two distinct intervention sequences, allowing for comparative analysis

Limitations

• Column names and the exact number of rows are not specified, limiting understanding of the data structure
• The dataset size (35327) is provided without context (e.g., bytes, rows), making scale ambiguous
• Metadata is duplicated across sources, suggesting no additional descriptive information is available
