结局指标

主要结局

Six Minute Walk Test (6MWT)

时间窗: Change from baseline in 6MWT distance after using device at 3, 6, and 12 month follow-up.

The test measures the distance that the patient can walk on a flat, hard surface, indoors, in a period of 6 minutes. The walk test is patient self-paced and assesses the level of functional capacity. Patients are allowed to stop and rest during the test, however, the timer does not stop. If the patient is unable to complete the time, the time stopped is noted and reason for stopping prematurely is recorded. This test will be administered while wearing a mask to measure oxygen consumption.

次要结局

  • Functional Gait Assessment (FGA)(Change from baseline in FGA score after using device at 3, 6, and 12 month follow-up.)
  • 10 Meter Walk Test (10MWT)(Change from baseline in gait speed after using device at 3, 6, and 12 month follow-up.)
  • Muscle Strength (manual muscle test)(Change from baseline in muscle strength after using device at 3, 6, and 12 month follow-up.)
  • Passive and Active Range of Motion of Lower Extremity joints(Change from baseline in range of motion after using device at 3, 6, and 12 month follow-up.)
  • Modified Ashworth Scale(Change from baseline in muscle tone after using device at 3, 6, and 12 month follow-up.)
  • Berg Balance Scale (BBS)(Change from baseline in Berg Balance score after using device at 3, 6, and 12 month follow-up.)
  • Timed Up and Go test (TUG)(Change from baseline in TUG score after using device at 3, 6, and 12 month follow-up.)
  • Walking Index for Spinal Cord Injury (WISCI II)(Change from baseline in rank score after using device at 3, 6, and 12 month follow-up.)
  • Gaitrite data capture(Change from baseline in gait parameters after using device at 3, 6, and 12 month follow-up.)
