Leg Stretching Using an Exoskeleton on Demand for People With Spasticity (NCT05926596)
Leg Stretching Using a Controllable Wearable Exoskeleton on Demand for People With Spasticity
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The purpose of this research study is to develop a protocol using a fully wearable, portable lower-limb exoskeleton for improving leg and walking function in people with movement disorders. The study investigates the effects of wearing the device during a set of experiments including leg stretching, treadmill walking and overground walking in muscle activity, joint motion, and gait performance. The goal is to develop an effective lower-limb strategy to restore lost leg function (e.g., range of motion) and gait ability, and improve quality of life in people with movement deficits following a neurological disorder.
