Hemiparesis After Stroke

Quick Navigation

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate and compare different robotic exoskeletons (RE) and identify which is most appropriate for gait training for each patient based off their specific needs. This will help guide clinicians in prescribing the appropriate RE for rehabilitation.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Ages Eligible for Study:50 Years to 80 Years
Sexes Eligible for Study:ALL
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:No
Standard Ages:ADULT, OLDER_ADULT
Inclusion CriteriaExclusion Criteria
  1. * Stroke survivors 3 - 8 months from a recent stroke.
  2. * Age: 50 - 80 years
  3. * Unilateral hemiparesis
  4. * Medical clearance by the Medical Director
  5. * Be able to physically fit into the exoskeleton device: Height between 60\" and 76\" and weight below 220 lbs
  6. * Patient cognitive status and ability to communicate in English must be at a level consistent with that required to participate in standard motor rehabilitation (e.g. can follow directions).
  7. * Adequate cognitive function to give informed consent, understand the training, instructions, use investigational devices and give adequate feedback.
  8. * Have a joint range of motion within normal functional limits for ambulation.
  9. * Have sufficient strength to use the hemiwalker, cane or walker (etc. assistive device) while wearing the RE.
  10. * No history of injury or pathology to the unaffected limb.
  11. * Have an appropriate walking speed as determined by the study staff.
  1. * Any medical issue that precludes full weight-bearing and ambulation (e.g. orthopedic injuries, pain, severe spasticity).
  2. * Skin issues that would prevent wearing the device.
  3. * Pre-existing condition that caused exercise intolerance (documented uncontrolled hypertension, coronary artery disease, cardiac arrhythmia, or congestive heart failure).
  4. * Hospitalization for heart attack, heart surgery, or acute heart failure within 3 months of enrollment in the study.
  5. * Uncontrolled seizure disorder, spasticity, or joint contracture that would interfere with walking.
  6. * Neuromuscular, neurological, or orthopedic pathologies that interfere with neuromuscular function, ambulation, or limit the range of motion of the lower limbs.
