About this study

Official title: ERIGO® Life - Study of Cardiovascular Parameters and Other Physiologic Parameters Under Verticalization and Simultaneous Mobilization of the Leg on Neurological Patients and Healthy Subjects

Early verticalization and stepping with the equipment of Hocoma ERIGO during monitoring of vital parameters. The device is already CE marked and, for the purposes of the study, will be used in accordance with the intended use (after-market clinical investigation).

Read the detailed description

In early rehabilitation of neurological patients, safe mobilization and intensive sensorimotor stimulation are key factors for therapeutic success. Early activation and stimulation of the patient intend enhancement of neuroplasticity and recovery. Furthermore, it improves the patient's communication and cooperation skills and counteracts secondary damages due to immobilization.

The study combines gradual verticalization during monitoring of vital parameters, with cyclic leg movement and foot loading. The table to ensures the necessary safety for the stabilization of the patient in the upright position. The patient stimulation is additionally enhanced by synchronized functional electrical stimulation (FES). By providing a safe solution for early mobilization, the Erigo counteracts the negative effects of immobility and accelerates the recovery process through intensive sensorimotor stimulation. It is the first choice therapy device for the early and safe mobilization of severely impaired, bed-ridden patients even in acute care.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Erigo in people with Stroke and Spinal Cord Injury, run by Swiss Federal Institute of Technology at 2 sites in Switzerland.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Nov 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Switzerland. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of participants with adverse event as a measure of safety and tolerability (time frame: Up to 8 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Nov 2015.
