VRehab-SMA Phase 1.2
Virtual Targeted Rehabilitation for Patients With Spinal Muscular Atrophy: Phase 1.2: Proof-of-concept
연구 개요
상세 설명
Spinal muscular atrophy is a genetic disorder where muscles progressively weaken, severely impacting patients' motor abilities eg sitting or walking etc.
Several disease modifying therapies have been developed to treat Spinal muscular atrophy which have led to new disease pathways. For example, previously patients who could not sit can now sit but still not walk. According to standard of care guidelines, exercise programs should be designed and monitored by a physical therapist and should include exercises to improve daily life activities. Exercises should be adapted to each patient and can be prescribed with an optimal frequency in various ways. However in a recent survey, of patients with Spinal muscular atrophy, only 20% report access to endurance exercises and only 6% report mixed exercises. This is due to manpower limitation and difficulties in engaging with young and sometimes highly disabled children.
To address this, the investigators propose the development of an innovative, virtual targeted rehabilitation platform specifically designed for young patients with Spinal muscular atrophy. This technology aims to provide a patient-centric, at-home rehabilitation solution, enabling caregivers to facilitate daily exercises in a more accessible and enjoyable manner. This technology would involve the integration of augmented electromyography signals and soft robotic haptic devices into a game controlled by exercise/movement for children. By increasing the frequency and quality of exercise interventions at home, this technology has the potential to significantly address the critically unmet need for consistent rehabilitation and decrease the burden of hospital-based assessments.
This is a proof of concept study to assess patients with Spinal muscular atrophy desire to use the equipment and the potential benefit this can bring to patients by surveying Spinal muscular atrophy patients about technology and exercise and testing the current equipment in a lab setting.

간섭 없음: Cohort 1(Survey)
Participants will be asked to complete and online survey with 17 questions (with subparts).
The first 4 questions will establish their Spinal muscular atrophy condition and their movement levels.
The remaining 13 questions will establish their exercise routines and use of technology in daily life.
Followed by their preference for gaming, types of games and TV programs they enjoy.
The participants will only be asked once to fill in the survey and this will be carried out at their own homes on their own.

실험적: Cohort 2 (Testing)
Cohort 2 (Testing) will test out a basic device in a control laboratory environment to determine if further research for long term use and a at home device would be beneficial to patients and not have any adverse effects to their physical health.
Participants will be ask to attend a pre-screening video to check eligibility for the study and be consented online at the meeting.
Following this meeting 2 visits will be arranged at the University Biomedical engineering lab in Oxford and the participants asked to participate in using the device
