Development of a Robotic Ankle Assist Device to Improve Mobility in Individuals With Movement Disorders
In Brief
A Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating Robotic Ankle Assist Device (RAAD) for Cerebral Palsy. Completed, enrolled 31 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The overall objectives of this work is to establish feasibility of a robotic ankle assist device (RAAD) to improve mobility in free-living settings and to establish the RAAD as an effective tool to provide increased dose and precision of targeted ankle therapy. The first specific goal is to assess the benefits of repeated gait training with RAAD assistance. Individuals with CP will participate in a 4-week assistance intervention and mobility outcomes will be quantified pre and post intervention. The second specific goal is to separately assess the benefits of repeated gait training with RAAD resistance. Individuals with CP will participate in a 4-week resistance intervention and mobility outcomes will be quantified pre and post intervention. Assessed separately, it is hypothesized that both assistance and resistance training will improve mobility outcomes.
