What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This project will develop a wearable rehabilitation robot suitable for in-bed acute stage rehabilitation. It involves robot-guided motor relearning, passive and active motor-sensory rehabilitation early in the acute stage post-stroke including patients who are paralyzed with no motor output. The early acute stroke rehabilitation device will be evaluated in this clinical trial.

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

This trial is for acute stroke survivors aged 30-85 with hemiplegia or hemiparesis, experiencing their first unilateral stroke. They should be within 1 month post-stroke and have limited ankle movement or stiff calf muscles. Those with severe muscle weakness (MMT >2) are excluded.

Inclusion Criteria

My muscle strength score is between 0 and 2.
I am between 30 and 85 years old.
I have weakness or paralysis on one side of my body.
