Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The hypothesis is to determine the robotic gait training would be better than conventional therapy regarding the postural balance.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change From Baseline in Berg Balance Scale at 4 Weeks
Time Frame: Baseline and 4 weeks from baseline
Berg Balance Scale assess the functional balance ability of participants with observation of 14 tasks, representing functional movements common in daily life
Baseline and 4 weeks from baseline

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Berg Balance Scale
Time Frame: Baseline, 4 weeks from baseline, 8 weeks from baseline, 12 weeks from baseline
Berg Balance Scale assess the functional balance ability of participants with observation of 14 tasks, representing functional movements common in daily life

Trunk impairment scale
Time Frame: Baseline, 4 weeks from baseline, 8 weeks from baseline, 12 weeks from baseline
Trunk impairment scale performs to evaluate the sitting balance and trunk control ability examining static sitting balance, dynamic sitting balance, and coordination
Baseline, 4 weeks from baseline, 8 weeks from baseline, 12 weeks from baseline
Functional Ambulation Category
Time Frame: Baseline, 4 weeks from baseline, 8 weeks from baseline, 12 weeks from baseline
Categorizes patients according to basic motor skills necessary for functional ambulation. It represents the status of ambulation
Baseline, 4 weeks from baseline, 8 weeks from baseline, 12 weeks from baseline
10m walk test
Time Frame: Baseline, 4 weeks from baseline, 8 weeks from baseline, 12 weeks from baseline
10m walk test is used to examine gait speed, in which participant was asked to walk on a 14 meter of walkway wearing harness with two conditions; with the fastest speed or with self-selected comfortable speed
Baseline, 4 weeks from baseline, 8 weeks from baseline, 12 weeks from baseline
Fugl-Meyer Assessment
Time Frame: Baseline, 4 weeks from baseline, 8 weeks from baseline, 12 weeks from baseline

Each subject performs the following four tasks resembling Romberg test: standing with their feet positioning with the distance between their shoulders with eyes open (FSEO) or closed (FSEC), and standing with their feet together with eyes open (FTEO) or closed (FTEC). Each task is performed for 20 seconds and repeat for three times.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
