About this study

Official title: Comparison Of An Exoskeleton Device With An End-Effector Device In Robotic Gait Assesment Of Stroke

Investigators aimed to compare the results of rehabilitation with an exoskeleton device(Robogait) and with an end-effector device(Lokohelp)

Read the detailed description

There are different types of devices in robotic rehabilitation which has been used in recent years for stroke. Investigators aimed to compare the results of rehabilitation with an exoskeleton device(Robogait) and with an end-effector device(Lokohelp) in robot-assisted gait training of stroke rehabilitation

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • robot-assisted gait trainingOther

    Investigators will use robot-assisted gait training for rehabilitation of stroke

  • placeboOther

    Also called conventional treatment

    Investigators will use only conventional treatment without robot-assisted gait training

End-effectorActive comparatorFor stroke rehabilitation 5 days a week in addition to conventional treatment methods robot-assisted gait training(end-effector type-Lokohelp) will be taken with 45 minutes a day for 3 days a week for 4 weeks. Patients will be assessed with PASS, Rivermead mobility index, 10-meter walking test, 6-minute walking test, Barthel index, and FAC in terms of baseline and ending for posture, mobility, walking velocity, walking capacity, daily life activities and ambulance level.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing robot-assisted gait training in people with Stroke, run by Erenköy Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 4 inclusion and 16 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 13 May 2020. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

6 minute walk test (time frame: 4 weeks). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 13 May 2020.
