Leg stretching with an on-demand exoskeleton for spasticity
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a wearable exoskeleton that helps with leg stretching can reduce stiffness and improve movement in people with spasticity after a spinal cord injury. It may help you stretch more safely and comfortably, but you must meet specific health and device-wear requirements.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re a veteran with spasticity caused by a spinal cord injury (SCI)
- Your SCI happened at least 6 months ago and your condition is stable
- You can understand the study, give consent, and wear the device and sensors
- You don’t have another neurological condition besides SCI
- You’re not pregnant, and you weigh 300 pounds (136 kg) or more
