Nomad P-KAFO Study

{ "Nomad P-KAFO Study for Mobility Impairment", "This study is testing a device called the Indego Nomad® Powered Knee-Ankle-Foot Orthosis (P-KAFO). This device is a brace that uses a motor to help with leg movement and an electronic brake for support while standing. The study is for people aged 18 to 89 who regularly use a leg brace because of conditions like stroke, polio, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, or muscular dystrophy, which affect their ability to walk. The main goal is to see if using the Nomad P-KAFO improves walking speed, balance, reduces falls, and improves quality of life compared to your current brace. You would use the Nomad P-KAFO at home and in your community for three months.", "design": "This interventional study plans to include 36 participants. It will compare the Nomad P-KAFO to your current brace to see how it affects your mobility.", "commitments": "You will wear a sensor to record daily activities and mobility. You will also perform mobility and activity tests using both your own brace and the Nomad P-KAFO over three months of home use.", "compensation": "Not stated in the trial record.", "follow_up": "Your walking speed will be measured at the beginning of the study and after three months of using each device.", }
