Official title
Effect of Mobility Training Using Robotic Exoskeletons on Functional Recovery in Individuals With Severe Stroke
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of the Ekso robotic exoskeleton in persons affected by a severe stroke. * Primary Objectives: * To determine if a structured high-dosage exoskeleton training program (EXTP) results in clinically significant gains in walking recovery in individuals affected by severe stroke. * To determine whether timing of EXTP delivery (i.e., sub-acute vs. chronic) and severity (non-ambulators vs. limited house-hold ambulators) affects the improvement in gait speed and overall function following the EXTP training protocol. * To determine whether maintenance or further improvement in gait speed can be achieved by an intensive follow-up program of either a traditional rehabilitation program (TRP) or extended EXTP. * Secondary Objectives: * To determine the effect on functional walking endurance as assessed by the 6 minute walk test and 10 meter walk test, in high-dosage exoskeleton training program (EXTP) vs. traditional rehabilitation program (TRP) carried in an outpatient setting for post stroke individuals. * To determine the effect on functional balance, as assessed by the Berg Balance Scale, Functional Gait Assessment and Five times sit to stand measure as assessed by the 6 minute walk test, in high-dosage exoskeleton training program (EXTP) vs. traditional rehabilitation program (TRP) carried in an outpatient setting for post stroke individuals. * To determine the effect on stroke recovery, as assessed by the step counter of task specific training in high-dosage exoskeleton training program (EXTP) vs. traditional rehabilitation program (TRP) carried in an outpatient setting
