Exoskeleton

Exoskeleton-Assisted Walking for Stroke Rehabilitation

N/A
Recruiting
Led By Meheroz H Rabadi, MD, MRCPI
Research Sponsored by University of Oklahoma
Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial
Must have
All patients with acute hemorrhagic or ischemic stroke documented clinically and by neuroimaging
Medically stable from a cardio-respiratory stand point so that they can participate in daily therapies
Must not have
Aphasic patients unable to communicate
Patients unable to stand alone
Timeline
Screening 3 weeks
Treatment Varies
Follow Up baseline (day 1) and at 4-weeks to measure change

Summary

This trial will test if a machine that helps people walk can improve rehab outcomes for stroke patients.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients who have had a stroke and are stable enough to do daily therapies. They must be able to understand the study (with an MMSE score of at least 21), give written consent, and stand on their own. People with severe communication issues or confusion, those who can't stand alone, or refuse to consent cannot join.
What is being tested?
The study tests if using an electromechanical exoskeleton (Indego Exoskeleton) during gait training helps improve walking and movement better than standard rehabilitation alone in stroke patients at an in-patient facility.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include discomfort while using the exoskeleton, skin irritation from device contact points, muscle soreness due to new movements, and fatigue from increased physical activity.
