U.S., Aug. 13 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07760116) titled 'Robotic Exoskeleton Gait Training With and Without Brain-Computer Interface Control After Stroke' on Aug. 04.
Brief Summary: After a stroke, many people have trouble walking. One way to practice walking again is with a wearable robot, called an exoskeleton, that supports the legs and guides them through a walking pattern. In most systems, a therapist or a sensor decides when each step starts.
This study looked at whether it helps to let a person's own brain activity start each step instead. Sensors placed on the scalp recorded brain signals. A computer read these signals and told the robot when to take a step. This way of controlli...
