No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Using a randomized controlled research design, compare walking outcomes resulting from gait and balance training with standard physical therapist interaction versus training with the addition of a KineAssist® robotic system that provides for safety and freedom of movement.

Conditions

  • Cerebrovascular Accident

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Balance Task Training with therapist guarding support

Nine balance tasks: 1. long forward step 2. forward reach 3. push forward 4. push backward 5. step over hurdle 6. step up on foam surface 7. step up on solid surface 8. sit-to-stand 9. step onto slippery surface The therapist will provide guarding support

BEHAVIORAL

Balance task training with robotic guarding support

Nine balance tasks: 1. long forward step 2. forward reach 3. push forward 4. push backward 5. step over hurdle 6. step up on foam surface 7. step up on solid surface 8. sit-to-stand 9. step onto slippery surface The guarding support will be provided by a robot

BEHAVIORAL

Challneged balance task training with robotic guarding support

Nine balance tasks where the subject is challenged to perform at a harder level of difficulty: 1. long forward step 2. forward reach 3. push forward 4. push backward 5. step over hurdle 6. step up on foam surface 7. step up on solid surface 8. sit-to-stand 9. step onto slippery surface The guarding support will be provided by a robot
