Post Stroke Walking Kinematics Using the Honda Walking Assist Robotic Exoskeleton
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Robotic exoskeleton for walking assist for Stroke. Completed, enrolled 11 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
To investigate the effect of a robotic exoskeleton on kinematics, muscle activity, ground reaction forces and spatiotemporal characteristics during walking in persons post stroke.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Participants will have two testing sessions in this within-subject design experiment. The conditions under which walking will be evaluated are control (normal) walking, walking with the exoskeleton assistance and walking immediately following exoskeleton walking. The conditions under which stair walking (ascending and descending) will be evaluated include control (normal) stairs and exoskeleton assisted stairs. Assistance is provided by The Honda Walking Assist (HWA) System is a robotic device developed by Honda R\&D Corporation ®, Japan. The devices computer-activated motors use hip angle information to guide assistance delivered through the thigh straps to the legs in time with the walking cycle. The maximum torque delivered is 4 Newton-meters.
