NCT07636538 · NOT YET RECRUITING
Auto-calibrating System for Upper Limb Disability Assessment, Neurological and Occupational Rehabilitation
This trial tests a robotic arm system, with sensors and on-screen exercises, added to standard rehabilitation for adults with stroke, Parkinson's, ALS, or Mild Cognitive Impairment. Researchers measure usability, safety, arm movement, thinking skills, and quality of life. It is a small study of 30 people, with no phase assigned, focused on whether the device is practical and safe.
You may qualify if
- Adult patients aged between 18 and 80 years.
- Confirmed diagnosis of one of the following neurological conditions: stroke, Parkinson's disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), or Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI).
- Presence of upper limb motor impairment defined by QuickDASH scores ranging from 20 to 90.
- Ability to understand and follow the study protocol instructions.
You're excluded if
- Patients with severe psychiatric disorders or cognitive impairments that interfere with the ability to complete cognitive tests and self-assessment scales.
- Individuals unable to provide informed consent.
- Subjects with moderate to severe cognitive impairment, defined by an ECAS score lower than 81.92 (ALS patients) or a MoCA score between 18 and 25.
- Physical conditions significantly limiting upper limb use (e.g., severe concomitant orthopedic disorders affecting shoulder movement).
- Current or recent participation (within the previous three months) in other rehabilitation programs or interventions that could influence study outcomes.
- Unstable health conditions that could make device use unsafe or inappropriate, including unstable medical conditions or severe visual impairments.
