Study Summary

This trial aims to test a new exercise intervention called CUped, designed to improve walking in stroke survivors. CUped involves using a robotic technology to target specific movement impairments caused by stroke and

Who is the study for?

This trial is for stroke survivors with hemiplegia, aiming to help them recover lower limb movement and improve walking. Participants should be able to perform the exercise with CUped—a motor-assisted device—and undergo gait training.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests CUped, a novel robotic technology designed to enhance recovery of leg movements post-stroke by eliminating compensatory actions. It's paired with gait training to potentially transfer benefits to walking ability.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this is an early-stage trial focusing on safety and acceptability, specific side effects are not detailed but may include muscle soreness or fatigue due to the new physical activity introduced by the CUped device.

Experimental Treatment

Group I: Exercise with CUpedExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Participants will exercise with CUped (a motor-assisted, split crank pedaling device) and undergo 50 m of gait training. CUped comprises a left and right pedal; each is attached to the shaft of a motor. There is no mechanical connection between pedals. Participant's feet are secured to the pedals. They are asked to pedal forward and keep the legs 180° out-of-phase. The position of the left and right cranks is monitored. When the phase relationship is not maintained, motors provide torque to assist the lagging limb and resist the leading limb. Motors are under feedback control. Torque is proportional to the magnitude and sign of the error.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Are potential candidates still eligible to participate in this ongoing clinical trial?

"Yes, the clinicaltrials.gov data indicates that this trial is actively seeking participants. The study was initially posted on August 7th, 2023, and has been recently updated on March 21st, 2024. The trial aims to recruit a total of 12 individuals from one designated site."

Answered by AI

What are the specific criteria for individuals to be eligible to enroll in this research investigation?

"Individuals aged between 18 and 100 years who have experienced a stroke are eligible for participation in this study, which aims to recruit approximately 12 participants."

Answered by AI

How large is the sample size for this particular investigation?

"Indeed, the details on clinicaltrials.gov indicate that this investigation is actively pursuing participants. The study's initial posting occurred on August 7th, 2023 and its latest update was made on March 21st, 2024. Specifically, the trial aims to enlist a total of 12 individuals at one designated site."

Answered by AI

Does this research include individuals aged 60 and above?

"Patients aged 18 years or older, but younger than 100 years old, are eligible for enrollment in this study."

Answered by AI

What are the primary goals of this particular investigation?

"The main focus of this investigation is to evaluate the utilization of the affected limb during cycling. This will be scrutinized at three distinct time points: a baseline assessment before the intervention begins, an evaluation shortly after completing the treatment, and midway through week 3. Secondary measurements encompass physiological reactions to exercise such as blood pressure (both systolic and diastolic in mm Hg), heart rate (in beats per minute), and perceived exertion levels recorded according to the Borg Scale ranging from 7-20 where higher scores indicate greater effort."
