Clinical Trial Summary

Feasibility study of a new medical device that will evaluate the usability and effectiveness of a cycle ergometer device associated with neuromuscular electrical stimulation (FES cycling). The study's objective is to evaluate the effect of the application of functional electrical stimulation of the new device on participants' quadriceps muscle strength in comparison to a medical device with similar characteristics and to a control group. Secondarily, the study will compare the usability of the two medical devices as evaluated by the participants and the therapists who apply the treatment, as well as the participants' satisfaction with the treatment, identifying possible adverse effects.

Study Design


Intervention

Device:
Experimental FES cycling
Using the experimental, new FES cycling device, provide neuromuscular electrical stimulation of the gluteal, quadriceps and hamstring muscles at sufficient intensity to cause muscle contraction and push the cycle ergometer pedals for 30 minutes, for 16 treatment sessions (twice a week, for 8 weeks), in addition to conventional physical therapy for muscle strengthening.
Comparator FES cycling
Using the comparator, marketed FES cycling device, provide neuromuscular electrical stimulation of the gluteal, quadriceps and hamstring muscles at sufficient intensity to cause muscle contraction and push the cycle ergometer pedals for 30 minutes, for 16 treatment sessions (twice a week, for 8 weeks), in addition to conventional physical therapy for muscle strengthening.
Other:
Conventional physical therapy
Conventional physical therapy for muscle strengthening, for 16 treatment sessions (twice a week, for 8 weeks).
