Effects of an Overground Propulsion Neuroprosthesis in Community-dwelling Individuals After Stroke
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Propulsion Neuroprosthesis for Stroke. Completed, enrolled 10 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
This interventional study evaluates the effects of an overground propulsion neuroprosthesis that delivers adaptive neurostimulation assistance to the paretic plantarflexors and dorsiflexors of people post-stroke. Individuals with chronic post-stroke hemiparesis will walk with and without the neuroprosthesis overground and on a treadmill. The goal of the study is to understand how adaptive neurostimulation delivered by the neuroprosthesis affects clinical and biomechanical measures of walking function in order to guide future rehabilitation approaches for restoring walking ability after stroke.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
A neuroprosthesis is a textile-based surface neurostimulation system worn on the waist and paretic lower limb that delivers neurostimulation assistance via electroconductive pads placed on the skin over the target muscles. The neuroprosthesis provides dorsiflexor stimulation during swing phase for foot clearance and plantarflexor stimulation during stance phase for propulsion, delivered synchronously based on integrated sensors detecting the wearer's gait pattern.
