简要总结
Investigate development of an Innovative Instrument on Robot-Aided and Virtual Reality Rehabilitation for Intelligent Physical Training (i.e. gait and stepping) of Individuals post-stroke.
详细描述
The participants will be asked to test the effectiveness of up to two games. Participants are stroke survivors with post-stroke hemiparesis, which is affecting their ability to walk and step.
Participants will be asked to go to the UAB Spain Rehabilitation Center where they will tested up to two games in a maximum of two sessions. Each session will last approximately two hours. Testing of the games will be done in a robotic device known as the KineAssistTM-MX (KA-MX).
The KA-MX is a robotic device that allows full freedom of motion for the body and pelvis during walking and balance tasks, and also helps to control your posture to enhance your balance and stability. The KA-MX also offers you safety while training and will catch you if you lose your balance. This assistance is available while participants are strapped into the device with a harness and the device allows them to walk over the treadmill with minimal things affecting their walking.
Before starting the performance conditions, participants will be asked to fill out a questionnaire that asks about demographics, apathy, balance confidence,and their experience with VR and gaming.
The study team will help participants into the KineAssist MX, and once secured in the device, they will be allowed to get acclimated to the device prior to approach the performance conditions. Then, they will perform three walking or stepping conditions that measure their maximum walking speed or maximum step length.

结局指标
主要结局
Step Length
时间窗: About Five Minutes
Maximum step length will be measured as traveled distance by the foot in centimeters.
Walking Speed
时间窗: Three Minutes
ast walking speed will be measured on the KineAssist and quantified based on the distance covered in one minute as a meter per second.
Intrinsic Motivation
时间窗: About Three Minutes
Intrinsic Motivation Inventory (IMI) will be used as measurement tool after performing each of the three conditions. The IMI consists of 22 questions rating from 1-7 in four subscales (interest/enjoyment, perceived competence, perceived choice, and pressure/tension). For this study, we will only use the Interest/Enjoyment subscale which contains seven questions and is considered as a self-report measure of intrinsic motivation
