What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change From Baseline in Berg Balance Scale at 4 Weeks

    Berg Balance Scale assess the functional balance ability of participants with observation of 14 tasks, representing functional movements common in daily life

    Measured: Baseline and 4 weeks from baseline

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Berg Balance Scale

    Berg Balance Scale assess the functional balance ability of participants with observation of 14 tasks, representing functional movements common in daily life

    Measured: Baseline, 4 weeks from baseline, 8 weeks from baseline, 12 weeks from baseline

  2. Trunk impairment scale

    Trunk impairment scale performs to evaluate the sitting balance and trunk control ability examining static sitting balance, dynamic sitting balance, and coordination

    Measured: Baseline, 4 weeks from baseline, 8 weeks from baseline, 12 weeks from baseline

  3. Functional Ambulation Category

    Categorizes patients according to basic motor skills necessary for functional ambulation. It represents the status of ambulation

    Measured: Baseline, 4 weeks from baseline, 8 weeks from baseline, 12 weeks from baseline

  4. 10m walk test

    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

    Measured: Baseline, 4 weeks from baseline, 8 weeks from baseline, 12 weeks from baseline

  5. Fugl-Meyer Assessment

    Fugl-Meyer Assessment uses to examine the motor function and coordination of affected lower extremity

    Measured: Baseline, 4 weeks from baseline, 8 weeks from baseline, 12 weeks from baseline

  6. Korean version of Falls efficacy scale

    Asseses perception of balance and stability during activities of daily living Assesses fear of falling in the elderly population

    Measured: Baseline, 4 weeks from baseline, 8 weeks from baseline, 12 weeks from baseline

  7. Scale for the assessment and rating of ataxia

    Scale for the assessment and rating for infratentorial stroke

    Measured: Baseline, 4 weeks from baseline, 8 weeks from baseline, 12 weeks from baseline

  8. Balance test using force plate

    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.

    Measured: Baseline, 4 weeks from baseline, 8 weeks from baseline, 12 weeks from baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Robot, then conventional training and Conventional, then robot training in people with Stroke, run by National Rehabilitation Center, Seoul, Korea at 1 site in South Korea.

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 2 inclusion and 5 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 5 Mar 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. 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?

Change From Baseline in Berg Balance Scale at 4 Weeks (time frame: Baseline and 4 weeks from baseline). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02680691, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 5 Mar 2018.
