Evaluating Wearable Robotic Assistance on Gait

Evaluating Wearable Robotic Assistance on Gait Mechanics and Energetics in Individuals With Neurological Impairment

NCT04119063•Northern Arizona University

Summary

The overarching goal of this study is to improve mobility in individuals with movement disorders through advances in wearable assistance (i.e. powered orthoses).

Detailed Description

Individuals with cerebral palsy completed high frequency over-ground gait training (4x/week for 1 week) with ankle exoskeleton assistance, and then, after a 1 year washout period, the same participants will complete low frequency over-ground gait training (2x/week for 2 weeks).

Eligibility

Age

5 - 35 years

Sex

ALL

Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Inclusion Criteria

•Age between 5 and 35 years old, inclusive.
•Either a healthy volunteer or a diagnosis of a neurologically-based walking disorder due to stroke, spinal cord injury, Parkinson's disease, or cerebral palsy.
•Must be able to understand and follow simple directions based on parent report and clinical observation during the history and physical examination.
•Able to provide verbal assent, if appropriate. If the participant is non-verbal, parental interpretation of gesticulation for assent will be used.
•The ability to read and understand English.
•Able to walk at least 30 feet with or without a walking aid (GMFCS Level I-III for individuals with cerebral palsy)

Exclusion Criteria

•Any neurological, musculoskeletal or cardiorespiratory injury, health condition ( including pregnancy), or diagnosis other than stroke, spinal cord injury, Parkinson's disease or cerebral palsy that would affect the ability to walk as directed for short periods of time.
