Adaptive Ankle Robot Control System to Reduce Foot-drop in Chronic Stroke
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Treadmill plus anklebot and Treadmill only for Stroke and Foot Drop. Completed, enrolled 45 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Deficits in ankle control after stroke can lead to foot drop, resulting in inefficient, aberrant gait and an elevated falls risk. Using a novel ankle robot and newly invented adaptive control system, this study tests whether robotic-assisted treadmill training will improve gait and balance functions in chronic stroke survivors with foot drop impairment. It is hypothesized that, compared to treadmill training alone, integrating adaptive ankle robotics with treadmill training will reduce drop foot during independent overground walking, resulting in greater mobility, improved postural control, and reduced fall risk.
