NCT ID: NCT06115161 Recruiting - Foot Drop Clinical Trials

Development and Validation of an Instrumented Ankle-foot Orthosis

Start date: September 13, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Foot drop (weakness or paralysis of the muscles that lift the foot) refers to a condition that prevents people from properly lifting their foot and toes while walking. Foot drop has a negative impact on the balance, mobility, and confidence of people with the condition. Dragging one's toes on an uneven floor or a carpet can lead to tripping and falling. TurboMed Orthotics Inc. has developed various orthoses for several years in order to improve the gait and quality of life for people suffering from foot drop. In order to help clinicians better monitor and assess gait parameters over time, the company wants to offer clinicians a tool for a more rigorous analysis. Thus, the objective of the proposed project is to develop a questionnaire for identifying the clinical need for the data generated by the instrumented orthosis. The instrumented orthosis will also be compared to a reference system in a validation effort.

NCT ID: NCT05801744 Recruiting - Stroke Clinical Trials

Operant Conditioning of Reflex Pathways to Improve Walking in Individuals Post-stroke

Start date: August 1, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to examine the changes in reflex pathways in the paretic ankle plantarflexors in individuals with post-stroke hemiparesis using operant conditioning. We are recruiting 5 individuals with chronic post-stroke hemiparesis with foot drop in the affected leg to participate in the reflex training procedure. The study involves 40 visits with a total study duration of about 4 months.

NCT ID: NCT05587010 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Foot Drop, Unspecified Foot

Comparison of Gait in Different Support Conditions for Foot Drop

Start date: May 3, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

Foot drop is a complication accompanying a variety of conditions and refers to difficulty in lifting the foot upwards about the ankle. Foot drop is a common outcome of conditions including cerebral palsy, brain/spinal cord injury, muscular dystrophy, stroke and after chemotherapy. Foot drop can lead to trips and falls for the individual if the foot catches on the ground when walking, negatively impacting on independence and quality of life. Approximately 46,720 children and adolescents in the UK have the above conditions and current treatment for individuals with foot drop include use of a lycra sock for those requiring low support and a rigid Ankle Foot Orthosis (AFO) for those requiring high support. The current problem is that all children and adolescents requiring more than low support of the lycra sock are fitted with an AFO, which can lead to muscles becoming weak over time as the AFO restricts almost all movement about the ankle. This study will assess the use of a new device, the OrthoPed splint, in young people aged 4 - 17 years old who have moderate foot drop. The OrthoPed splint has been developed to be used as a long-term device and aims to reduce loss of strength by allowing more ankle function than an AFO. This study aims to assess the feasibility of recruiting children and adolescents with foot drop into a study, collecting information on their movement and how well they walk when wearing different support devices for foot drop. Each person in the study will be measured when walking barefoot (no external support) and when wearing an AFO, Lycra sock and the OrthoPed splint. This feasibility study will inform the design, management, and delivery of a future larger randomised, controlled, non-inferiority trial.

NCT ID: NCT05449275 Completed - Foot Drop Clinical Trials

Effects Of Faradic Current Versus Ankle-Foot Orthosis In Patients With Foot Drop

Start date: March 1, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This research aims to compare changes in gait quality and function between faradic current & Ankle foot orthosis with stroke related foot drop

NCT ID: NCT05346640 Completed - Foot Drop Clinical Trials

Augmenting Gait in a Population Exhibiting Foot Drop With Adaptive Functional Electrical Stimulation

Start date: June 8, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of personalized, adaptive, current-steering functional electrical stimulation (FES) of the lower leg to improve gait in people with foot drop.

NCT ID: NCT05163782 Completed - Foot Drop Clinical Trials

Validation of an Ankle Foot Orthosis With Anterior Support for Foot Drop

Start date: July 19, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The objective of this research is to compare the new ankle foot orthosis (AFO) with prior support developed by Turbomed, with the AFO with posterior support from Turbomed as well as two competing AFOs currently on the market. With this research, we seek to answer the following questions: - Is the new AFO as biomechanically efficient as the AFOs currently on the market? - Is the new AFO more comfortable than the AFO currently on the market? - Is the new AFO easier to put on and attach than the AFOs currently on the market?

NCT ID: NCT05159635 Completed - Stroke Clinical Trials

Combining Active Living Programme (ALP) With Home-Use Wearable Technical Aids (WTA)

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

The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of adopting a home-use Wearable Technical Aids (WTA) with the structured Active Living Program (ALP) to promote community participation in young stroke patients.

NCT ID: NCT04934787 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Cerebrovascular Stroke

ENMS With Balance Feedback for Post-stroke Ankle-foot Rehabilitation

Start date: July 1, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

In this work, a novel hybrid ankle-foot robot is designed for gait rehabilitation after stroke, i.e., exoneuromusculoskeleton with balance sensing feedback (ENMS-BSF) by integrating the advantages of soft pneumatic muscle, functional electrical stimulation, exoskeleton and foot balance feedback in one system. With the assistance of the ENMS-BSF the foot drop and foot inversion could be corrected with improved muscle coordination in the paretic lower limb. The device is wearable and light-in-weight for unilateral application during walking. It is hypothesized that with the intervention of the ENMS-BSF the gait pattern of persons after stroke can be improved with long-term rehabilitative effects.

NCT ID: NCT04695834 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Peroneal Nerve Entrapment

Follow-up and Outcome of Operative Treatment With Decompressive Release Of The Peroneal Nerve

FOOTDROP
Start date: April 28, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The FOOT DROP trial is a prospective, multi-center, randomized controlled trial to assess if decompressive surgery for peroneal nerve entrapment is superior to maximal conservative treatment. Patients with persisting foot drop due to peroneal nerve entrapment will be randomized to either surgery or conservative treatment if foot drop persists 10 +/- 4 weeks after onset of symptoms. Patients will be evaluated through several questionnaires, evolution of muscle strength and several types of gait assessments. Primary endpoint is the difference in distance covered during the six minute walking test between baseline and 9 months after randomization.

NCT ID: NCT04594837 Recruiting - Stroke Clinical Trials

Ankle Robotics After Stroke

Start date: August 20, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The randomized study (in Phase II of the U44) compares the efficacy and durability of 9 weeks (18 sessions) of robot-assisted physical therapy (PTR) versus physical therapy (PT) alone on foot drop as assessed by gait biomechanics (ankle angle at initial contact, peak swing ankle angle, number of heel-first strikes - % total steps, gait velocity) and blinded clinician assessment (dorsiflexion active range of motion, ankle muscle strength, assistive device needs).
