ClinConnect Summary

Up to 150 subjects will be enrolled and treated at up to 20 study sites. Qualified subjects will be enrolled and treated with the Minuteman G5 Device. Subjects will be seen at 1-, 3-, 6- and 12-months following study treatment.

Key outcome assessments will include gait and balance testing performed using BioMech Lab sensor technology to capture and deliver three-dimensional patient motion data to a mobile device that instantly analyzes, distills, and quantifies the information. Patient reported outcome measures will also be collected to evaluate pain, quality of life and satisfaction. Duri...
