The Effects of a Powered Knee Orthosis on Gait Kinematics of Children With Knee Extension Deficiency

About this trial

This trial is enrolling 5 individuals between 5-19 years old with incomplete spinal cord injury to test the effect of a custom knee orthoses (the Agilik) on knee movement and walking function in individuals with crouch gait. If included, participants will undergo seven study visits over a period of 2 months. The first 2 visits will include brace customization and familiarization with the device (2-4 hours each). During the next 6 weeks (visits 3-6), participants will undergo 2-hour walking training sessions with the Agilik attached to their legs using straps. Final testing of knee movement and walking function will be performed at the 7th/last visit.
