NCT ID: NCT04441164 Withdrawn - Clinical trials for Weakness of the Lower Limbs

VERARE : Effectiveness of Virtual Motor Actions for Improving Walking in Patients With Post-resuscitation Muscle Weakness

VERARE
Start date: August 1, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

After a hospitalization in Intensive Care Unit (ICU), approximately 50% of patients usually have a ICU-Weakness, i.e. nerves and muscles injury secondary to immobilization and to treatments which had to be used. This disease is expected to be similar or even higher in patients suffering from COVID-19 and hospitalized in ICU due to the average length of hospitalization of several weeks in this population. This condition will delay the return-to-walk of these patients, their discharge from hospitalization and may deteriorate their autonomy in daily life activities. Virtual Reality (VR) environments are already used and have proven their worth for the assessment and rehabilitation of patients with neurological diseases. It therefore seems appropriate to offer the use of virtual environments for this type of population. VR represents a unique opportunity for the rehabilitation care of these patients, and in particular those who have been reached by COVID-19, due to the possible mismatch between the amount of motor rehabilitation to be provided and the fatigability and breathlessness at the slightest effort which seem particularly intense in this population. The main objective of our project is to improve and to accelerate gait recovery in patients hospitalized in Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine after discharge from Resuscitation or Continuous Care Unit and in patients hospitalized in ICU and presenting ICU-weakness secondary to resuscitation, notably due to COVID-19 infection, thanks to the use of Virtual Reality tools. The VR tool will consist of virtual environments presented using a Virtual Reality headset where an avatar (double) of the patient hospitalized in Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine or in ICU will be represented, who will perform different motor tasks involving their lower limbs (ex: walking, or kicking a ball) in several different virtual environments (settings). The patient will be asked to observe actions, then to imagine carrying out their actions which will be performed by the avatar in the virtual environment, then they will be able to control the actions of the avatar using their legs thanks to sensors, then feel walking sensations through the use of haptic devices.

NCT ID: NCT04137809 Withdrawn - Stroke Clinical Trials

TREAT Foot Drop After Stroke With Ankle Robot

TREAT
Start date: April 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Researchers at the University of Maryland Rehabilitation and Orthopaedic Institute are looking for individuals who have suffered a stroke and have leg and ankle weakness (foot-drop), to participate in a pilot study to examine the safety and effectiveness of an ankle robot walking program on walking function This is the first in human test of walking training over-ground using a wearable, lightweight, battery operated ankle robot exoskeleton; with assistance by trained research personnel for safety. This exercise device is aimed at assisting the foot during walking to reduce foot drop and improve walking safety in chronic, mild to moderately impaired stroke survivors who have foot drop. Possible risks of participating in this study are described in this document. The greatest risks include the risk of falling, muscle soreness, skin irritation, or cardiovascular complications. Before starting, you will have a medical history and medical assessments performed to determine if this study is safe for you. All sessions will be assisted by trained research personnel under supervision of a physical therapist, with medical personnel locally on call.

NCT ID: NCT04123808 Withdrawn - Stroke Clinical Trials

IpsiHand System for Rehabilitation of the Arm and Hand After Stroke

Start date: December 2, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study aims to assess whether the NeuroLutions Upper Extremity Rehabilitation System (known as IpsiHand) will help stroke patients regain strength and functional movements in their arm. The IpsiHand system involves using a hand robotic device that is controlled by brain waves, known as a Brain-Computer Interface (BCI). By using the device, participants will be harnessing brainwaves from the side of their brain not affected by stroke to control the robotic device on the hand that is weaker from the stroke.

NCT ID: NCT03230370 Withdrawn - Clinical trials for Poststroke/CVA Hemiparesis

Does the Enhanced Rehabilitation Programs Facilitate the Motor Recovery After Stroke?

Start date: December 1, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Study purpose This study will explore whether an additional rehabilitation program that focus on either upper or lower extremity training facilitate the recovery in upper or lower extremity. The recovery in both neurological status and motor functions will be explored.

NCT ID: NCT03071354 Withdrawn - Muscle Weakness Clinical Trials

Improving Muscle Function in Nutritionally at Risk, Elderly Patients

Start date: May 1, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The investigators propose to conduct a randomized, control trial of β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate (HMB) supplementation in elderly patients (≥65 years of age) with acute respiratory failure, who are identified at high risk for malnutrition by ICU-specific nutritional risk scores. Patients will receive either 3g of HMB daily, or control, daily until day 28 following randomization (even if discharged).The investigators will measure functional outcomes using standard, validated measures prior and after discharge.

NCT ID: NCT02606006 Withdrawn - Stroke Clinical Trials

Inpatient Physical Activity Function Through Enhanced Participation Levels in Animal-Assisted Therapy Programs

Start date: November 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Thousands of canines are used for therapy in health care centers throughout the United States as part of a volunteer therapy team, yet little is known about the outcomes provided by these teams. Although many studies have been published, few used randomized, controlled formats to identify whether canine therapy has an impact and any mechanisms by which any impact may occur. The purpose of this study is use a randomized, controlled setup for canine animal-assisted therapy (AAT) in patients undergoing inpatient physical therapy for stroke, Parkinson's disease, or generalized weakness deconditioning to determine whether use of AAT produces desirable outcomes, such as increased motivation, in patients.

NCT ID: NCT01115530 Withdrawn - Muscle Weakness Clinical Trials

Exercise and Nutritional Intervention for Deconditioned Older Adults

Start date: May 2011
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

In this study we will evaluate whether the addition of a formal lower extremity resistance exercise training program and/or a nutritional supplement will improve the functional recovery of older adult veterans participating in a geriatric rehabilitation program for deconditioning. Specifically, subjects admitted to a geriatric inpatient rehabilitation program with a diagnosis of deconditioning will be randomly assigned to one of four groups; 1) Control/standard rehabilitation program, 2) Standard rehabilitation plus resistance exercise twice per week, 3) Standard rehabilitation plus a daily nutritional supplement, 4) Standard rehabilitation plus the resistance exercise and the nutritional supplement. Subjects will participate in each program for 12 weeks. At the beginning and end of the study we will measure lower extremity strength, walking speed, and overall function (using the standardized Functional Independence Measure), and compare the changes in each group.
