Official title
A Feasibility Trial to Evaluate Structural Suitability of a Robotic Neck Exoskeleton to Restore Head Movements in Patients With Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The investigators will evaluate a new powered neck exoskeleton in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) to understand whether this device allows adequate head range of motion and achieves satisfaction from users. In this small cross-sectional device feasibility study, participants will be enrolled from the ALS clinic at the University of Utah Hospital. After obtaining written consent, participants will perform tasks using the neck exoskeleton. Tasks include computerized tracking tasks and simulated activities of daily living. Breaks will be added between tasks to avoid fatigue. Head-neck kinematics will be recorded, and range of motion will be computed. Participants will also report their satisfaction of the device.
