ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial, titled "Walking With Overground Robotic Exoskeletons to Improve Arousal in Individuals With Disorders of Consciousness," is exploring a new way to help people who have severe brain injuries and are in a state of reduced awareness. The study will test whether using a robotic device that helps individuals walk can improve their level of consciousness and overall responsiveness. Current treatments for these conditions are very limited, and this trial aims to provide a safer and more effective option by stimulating the brain through movement and sensory experiences.
To participate in this trial, individuals must be receiving inpatient rehabilitation and have a diagnosis of a disorder of consciousness due to a brain injury. The trial is not currently recruiting participants, but it will include individuals aged 65 to 74 years old, regardless of gender. Participants can expect to engage in walking sessions using the robotic exoskeleton, which aims to promote awareness and improve their behavioral responses. This innovative approach could provide new insights and potential benefits for people with significant brain injuries.
