Robotic Locomotor Training in Persons With Multiple Sclerosis
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Lokomat and resistive training for Multiple Sclerosis. Completed, enrolled 38 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Locomotor training is a new exercise modality that emphasizes task specificity to promote learning and neural plasticity. It has been reported to improve walking in patients with stroke, spinal cord injury and cerebral palsy. In this study, 40 patients with impaired ambulation due to Multiple Sclerosis will be randomized to receive 36 sessions of either locomotor training or an standard resistive exercise intervention.The locomotor training will be accomplished via a robotic device, the Lokomat, which will move the patient's legs on a treadmill while they are suspended in a harness.
