Overview

This study aims to evaluate the impact of assistive torque from a hip-assist exoskeleton on gait patterns in healthy adults. The investigators will analyze how different torque settings affect spatiotemporal parameters, joint kinematics, muscle activity (EMG), and foot pressure during walking.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Healthy adults aged 19 years or older without gait impairment.
  2. Body weight between 50kg and 100kg.
  3. No history of hip surgery.
  4. Capable of wearing a hip-assist exoskeleton.
  5. Voluntarily signed the informed consent form.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Skin or musculoskeletal issues that prevent wearing the exoskeleton.
  2. Inability to walk independently while wearing the exoskeleton.
  3. Other conditions deemed inappropriate by the investigator.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
