Effects of Stepping Training With External Feedback on Walking and Functional Ability in Ambulatory Patients With Spinal Cord Injury
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Stepping training with feedback and Stepping training without feedback for Spinal Cord Injuries. Completed, enrolled 44 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Does a 4-week stepping training program with or without external feedback clinically change functional ability and reduce risk of fall of ambulatory patients with iSCI? Are there significant differences between 4-weeks stepping training with or without external feedback in ambulatory patients with iSCI?
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Subjects stand in a step standing position with placing one leg on the load cells of the device and the other leg at the posterolateral direction to the trained leg outside the load cells, look at the displayed section which will be positioned at their eye level. Then subjects will be instructed to shift/take their body-weight onto the trained leg until the green zone of the displayed section is lightened. When the subjects can take a proper level of their body-weight onto the trained leg, the beep sound will be alarmed to trigger the subjects and therapist that the subjects can step the other leg forward to the marker. Then they have to do the same when steps the leg backward.
Subjects stand in a step standing position with placing one leg on the load cells of the device and the other leg at the posterolateral direction to the trained leg outside the load cells. Then subjects will be instructed to shift/take their body-weight onto the trained leg as most as they can. If the subjects can take a proper level of their body-weight onto the trained leg, the subjects can step the other leg forward to the marker. Then they have to do the same when steps the leg backward.
