Usability of the Regen Gait Therapy Robot in Healthy Adults
This study is looking at how easy and helpful the Regen Rehabilitation Assistive Device is for healthy adults. Regen is a robot that helps with walking therapy by learning how a therapist moves and then copying those movements. The goal is to see if Regen can safely and effectively replicate a therapist's movements during treadmill walking. Researchers want to understand if this device can make therapy better and easier for therapists. They will measure how usable the system is, how much effort it takes, and how acceptable it is to participants. This study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 10 healthy adults.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study with 10 healthy adult participants. It is not specified if it is randomized or blinded.
- What's involved
- You would participate in one experimental session on Day 1, which includes using the Regen device and completing questionnaires immediately after the task.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your feedback on usability, workload, and acceptability will be collected during and immediately after the experimental session on Day 1.

What this trial measures
- System Usability Scale (SUS)During the experimental session (Day 1) and immediately post-task (within 10 minutes after completion)
The System Usability Scale (SUS) will be used to assess the usability of the device. The SUS consists of 10 items scored on a 5-point Likert scale and converted to a total score ranging from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better usability.
- NASA Task Load Index (NASA-TLX)During the experimental session (Day 1) and immediately post-task (within 10 minutes after completion)
The NASA Task Load Index (NASA-TLX) will be used to assess perceived workload across six domains (mental demand, physical demand, temporal demand, performance, effort, and frustration). Scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating greater workload.
- Device Acceptability (Likert Scale)Immediately post-task (within 10 minutes after completion, Day 1)
Participants will rate safety, comfort, ease of use, and satisfaction using 5-point Likert scale items. Higher scores indicate greater acceptability of the device.
- Qualitative Feedback on Device Usability and SafetyImmediately post-task (within 10 minutes after completion, Day 1)
Open-ended questions will be used to collect qualitative feedback from participants and therapists regarding device usability, safety, and overall experience.
