Speed of Robotic Leg Movements and Orthostatic Hypotension in Subacute SCI (NCT04029974)
Does the Speed of Robotic Leg Movements During Tilt-table Verticalization Affect Orthostatic Hypotension in Persons With Subacute SCI
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This study seeks to evaluate whether the speed (cadence) of lower extremity robotic movement has an impact on orthostatic hypotension and upright tolerance when training with the ErigoPro robotic tilt-stepper. It is hypothesized more frequent short-lasting leg movements (faster cadence) reduces the occurrence/severity of orthostatic hypotension better than less frequent longer-lasting leg movements (slower cadence).
