Comparison of Gait Training Methods in Sub-acute Stroke and Spinal Cord Injury

NCT06169657 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL

Last updated 2025-05-25

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of the project is to compare intensity (minutes in target heart rate zone) and steps per session across three gait training modalities, including body-weight supported treadmill training (BWSTT), overground gait training with body weight-support (BWS), and overground gait training utilizing a lower extremity exoskeleton, between patients presenting with varying functional ambulation capacities in the inpatient setting. Additionally, the researchers will compare physical therapist (PT) burden across these modalities and patient functional presentation levels.
