Neurostimulation Exosuit Augmented Training (NEAT) in the Clinic Using a Wearable Propulsion Neuroprosthesis
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Neurostimulation Exosuit for Stroke. Completed, enrolled 4 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
The primary goal of this study is to understand the feasibility and rehabilitative effects of a Neurostimulation Exosuit Augmented Training (NEAT) program designed to provide high-intensity gait training in progressively challenging environments for individuals in the chronic phase of stroke recovery. The investigators will monitor feasibility of the training program and assess walking endurance and energy efficiency before and after the training to quantify effects of the training program on the recovery of walking function driven by improvements in forward propulsion and symmetry between limbs. Participants will complete pre-training and post-training evaluations alongside 12 gait training sessions across 4-5 weeks.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
A neurostimulation exosuit (i.e., neuroprosthesis) is a textile-based device worn on the paretic lower limb. Neuroprostheses deliver functional electrical stimulation through non-invasive surface electrodes placed on the front and the back of the leg, providing swing-phase dorsiflexor assistance for foot clearance and stance-phase plantarflexor assistance for forward propulsion, respectively. Neurostimulation assistance is provided synchronously with the wearer's gait, based on inertial sensors in the shoes that measure the wearer's unique walking pattern.
