All subjects will participate in study procedures involving use of the ReWalk ReStore device.
|
Device: ReWalk ReStore device
The ReWalk ReStore device is intended to be used to perform ambulatory functions in rehabilitation institutions under the supervision of a trained therapist for people with hemiplegia/hemiparesis due to stroke. |
- Incidence of device-related adverse events [Safety] [ Time Frame: duration of study participation for each subject, estimated 4 weeks ]Safety will be evaluated on the basis of the number of device-related adverse events reported for subjects during their participation in the study.
- Incidence of device malfunctions during study procedures [Device Reliability] [ Time Frame: duration of study completion for each site, estimated 4 months ]Device reliability will be evaluated on the basis of the number of device malfunctions reported by research study staff for the duration of study procedures at each study site.
- Incidence of injury to physical therapist caused by device [PT safety] [ Time Frame: duration of study completion for each site, estimated 4 months ]PT safety will be evaluated on the basis of the number of device-related injuries reported by study physical therapists for the duration of study procedures at each study site.
- Gait speed measured with 10 Meter Walk Test [ Time Frame: duration of study participation for each subject, estimated 4 weeks ]Subjects will perform a 10 Meter Walk Test to evaluate walking speed with and without the ReStore device.
- Gait analysis using a gait mat [ Time Frame: duration of study participation for each subject, estimated 4 weeks ]Subjects will walk across a gait mat device (such as GAITRite) which records step timing and step placement in order to evaluate their walking with and without the ReStore device.
- Walking distance measured with 2 Minute Walk Test [ Time Frame: duration of study participation for each subject, estimated 4 weeks ]Subjects will perform a 2 Minute Walk Test (2MWT) to evaluate the 2 minute walking distance with the ReStore device in Slack, Assist, and Brace modes
- Modified QUEST questionnaire [subject satisfaction] [ Time Frame: duration of study participation for each subject, estimated 4 weeks ]Subjects will complete a modified QUEST questionnaire (Quebec User Evaluation of Assistive Technology) to indicate their level of satisfaction with the ReStore device (on a scale from 1 to 5) in 8 different categories.
- Physical Therapist satisfaction questionnaire [PT satisfaction] [ Time Frame: duration of study completion for each site, estimated 4 months ]Physical Therapists involved in the study will complete a PT satisfaction questionnaire at the end of the study to indicate their level of satisfaction (on a scale from 1 to 5) with the ReStore device in 9 different categories.
