Sarcopenia Clinical Trial
Official title:
Ankle Assistance and Resistance in Older Adults
The goal of this research protocol is to improve mobility in older individuals through advances in wearable assistive devices by focusing on two specific aims. The first aim is to study if targeted ankle resistance gait training improves walking performance in older individuals. The second aim is to evaluate the potential of wearable assistance at the ankle, knee, and/or hip joints to increase walking performance in older individuals.
The overarching goal of this study is to improve mobility in older adults through advances in wearable assistance (i.e. powered orthoses). This goal will be accomplished by focusing on two specific research aims. The first aim is to study if targeted ankle resistance gait training improves walking performance in older individuals. The second aim is to evaluate the potential of wearable assistance at the ankle, knee, and/or hip joints to increase walking performance in older individuals. Several powered orthosis conditions will be tested during several modes of walking or running and balance throughout the course of the study. Trials will take place over-ground and/or on a treadmill. Balance trials will take place on a treadmill. Participants will walk for up to 40 minutes. Frequent breaks will be provided between trials and conditions to avoid fatigue; a maximum of 15 minutes of continuous walking will take place between breaks. ;
