Speed of Robotic Leg Movements and Orthostatic Hypotension in Subacute SCI
Sponsor: Methodist Rehabilitation Center
Summary
This study seeks to evaluate whether the speed (cadence) of lower extremity robotic movement has an impact on orthostatic hypotension and upright tolerance when training with the ErigoPro robotic tilt-stepper. It is hypothesized more frequent short-lasting leg movements (faster cadence) reduces the occurrence/severity of orthostatic hypotension better than less frequent longer-lasting leg movements (slower cadence).
