Investigation Into an Innovative, Clinical Slip Inducing Device in the Chronic Incomplete Spinal Cord Population (NCT03744286)
🔵 Active, Not Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic ⚙️ Medical Device Protocol Sponsor: Shirley Ryan AbilityLab
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The objective of this project is to fully test a newly developed affordable cost variable slip inducer in the ambulatory, incomplete spinal cord population. It is a self-contained device using a moving serial plank mechanism with wheels on the underside of each plank that allow for structured slips while a person walks over the planks with a harness for safety.
