EFFECTS OF ROBOTIC TRAINING ON VASCULAR HEALTH OF INDIVIDUALS WITH SCI

NCT03611803 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 12

Last updated 2018-10-02

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Robotic devices may be used to help the gait and balance of individuals with Spinal Cord Injury (SCI). However, as such devices may allow individuals to engage in physical activity in an upright position, there may be significant benefit on the vascular health of patients with SCI. This study will assess the effect of a robotic-assisted gait-training (exoskeleton) program on central and peripheral hemodynamic markers in people with SCI.

Conditions

  • Exercise
  • Spinal Cord Injuries

Interventions

DEVICE

Physiotherapy + Robotic-device

Daily use of an exoskeleton (robotic-device) on 5 successive days as well as daily physiotherapy sessions

OTHER

Physiotherapy only

Participants will engage in daily physiotherapy sessions (without the exoskeleton) and/or home-based sit-to-stand exercises
