Investigation Into an Innovative, Clinical Slip Inducing Device in the Chronic Incomplete Spinal Cord Population

Running, not enrolling · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Spinal Cord Injuries

In brief

The objective of this project is to fully test a newly developed affordable cost variable slip inducer in the ambulatory, incomplete spinal cord population. It is a self-contained device using a moving serial plank mechanism with wheels on the underside of each plank that allow for structured slips while a person walks over the planks with a harness for safety.
