Research on Clinical Safety and Effectiveness of Wearable Assistive Devices With Flexible Structure for Daily Life Support of Stroke Patients
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 12 Aug 2024
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Gait independence is a critical goal for stroke patients and significantly impacts their return to society. Due to hemiplegia, stroke patients often face walking difficulties. Compensatory approaches using lower limb assistive devices have shown promise in improving independent walking. Wearable assistive devices, which minimize daily life restrictions, are gaining attention globally. Despite the availability of many imported rehabilitation assistive devices, their high cost and poor fit for East Asian patients highlight the need for domestic alternatives. In light of the global interest in robotics, there is a shortage of domestic research on advanced wearable robots. This study aims to clinically test and verify the effectiveness of a flexible, wearable robotic assistive device developed by Angel Robotics for stroke patients.

Who cannot take part
Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Other illness
- 1\. Acute/subacute stroke patients within 6 months of stroke onset 2. Quadriplegia 3. Ataxia 4. Severe lower limb joint contractures that make wearing the assistive device difficult 5. Patients with neurological, musculoskeletal, or cardiopulmonary diseases that affect walking 6. Any other conditions deemed inappropriate for participation in the study by the researcher
Who the study is looking for
- 1\. Adult patients aged 19 years and older 2. Diagnosed with stroke confirmed by neurologists or neurosurgeons through imaging techniques such as CT or MRI 3. Chronic hemiplegic stroke patients, 6 months or more post-stroke onset 4. Patients with a Functional Ambulatory Category (FAC) score of 3 or higher 5. Patients with a Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score of 10 or higher, who can understand the study, have a voluntary willingness to participate, and have given consent to participate
