Clinical Trial: ACTive Exoskeleton for Unilaterally-Assisted Locomotion (ACTUAL)
Study Status: COMPLETED
Recruit Status: COMPLETED
Condition: Stroke Sequelae
Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
Official Title: Use of a Lower Limb Exoskeleton in Locomotor Rehabilitation of Stroke Patients: Feasibility, Safety and a Pilot Clinical Study
Brief Summary:
Walking difficulties are common symptoms after stroke, significantly reducing quality of life.Walking recovery is therefore one of the main priorities of rehabilitation.Wearable powered exoskeletons have been developed to provide lower limb assistance and enable training for persons with gait impairments by using typical physiological movement patterns.Exoskeleton were originally designed for individuals without any walking capacities, such as subjects with a complete spinal cord injury.Recent systematic reviews…
