The Effects of the Control Strategies of Wearable Lower Limb Rehabilitation Robots

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Stroke, Gait Training, Gait Disorders

In brief

Post-stroke patients were required to complete a session of robot-assisted training, which involved nine repetitions of 5-meter overground walking (three trials for each of the three controllers) in a rectangular hospital corridor.

Who can join

Age: 18 and older, up to 75. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.

You may qualify if…

• Stroke patients aged between 18 and 75 years. Patients who are medically stable and able to stand and walk independently for at least 10 meters during rehabilitation.
• Stroke event occurred at least 3 months ago Patients with impaired lower limb motor function but with some degree of muscle activity in the lower extremities.
• Patients without severe cognitive impairment and capable of understanding and following the treatment protocol.
• Patients without severe balance or coordination disorders, able to maintain balance and perform gait training with assistive devices.
• Patients without lower limb fractures or other serious skeletal issues affecting the lower limbs.
• Patients without severe cardiovascular or other serious illnesses and able to tolerate the intensity and duration of rehabilitation therapy.
• Patients willing to participate in the study and able to provide written informed consent.

You may not qualify if…

• Severe cognitive impairment that prevents the patient from understanding or complying with the treatment protocol.
• Severe balance or coordination disorders that prevent the patient from maintaining balance and participating in gait training, even with assistive devices.
• Other serious motor disorders, such as abnormal muscle tone or ataxia, which may interfere with the effectiveness of rehabilitation therapy.
• Active cardiovascular disease or other serious systemic illnesses that may affect the patient's safety or treatment outcomes.
• Lower limb fractures or other serious skeletal issues that may impact the suitability and safety of robot-assisted rehabilitation therapy.
• Patients currently receiving other rehabilitation or experimental treatments. Patients with skin ulcers, infections, or other severe skin conditions that may interfere with the use and application of robotic devices.
• Unexplained discomfort or pain symptoms that may limit the patient's ability to participate in rehabilitation therapy.
• Failure to meet other specific inclusion criteria outlined in the study protocol.
