Walking and tSCS in Non-ambulatory Stroke Survivors
This study is looking at new ways to help people who have had a stroke and have trouble walking. It compares two approaches: robot-assisted gait training alone, and robot-assisted gait training combined with transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tSCS). tSCS is a novel therapy that may improve outcomes. The goal is to see if adding tSCS helps people walk better after a stroke. Researchers will measure changes in cardiac output (how much blood your heart pumps) to see if the treatments are successful. You might be able to join if you are 18-80 years old, had a stroke at least six months ago, and have difficulty walking. The study plans to enroll 20 participants, but its current status is unclear.
- Study design
- This is an interventional pilot study comparing two groups of participants. It plans to enroll 20 participants.
- What's involved
- Participants will receive 30 minutes of robot-assisted gait training, three times per week, for 8 weeks, totaling 24 sessions.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Cardiac output will be measured before and after 24 training sessions (8 weeks).

What this trial measures
- Cardiac Output (Measured by Impedance Cardiography - BIOPAC MP160 System)Before and after 24 training sessions (8 weeks)
Cardiac output (L/min) will be measured using an impedance cardiography system (MP160, BIOPAC Systems Inc., Goleta, California). Measurements will be done during a 6-minute walk test. Data collection for each participant will occur at approximately the same time of day (between 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM) before the first intervention session and after completion of the 24th intervention session.
