THE EFFECTS OF A PROPRIOCEPTION-ENHANCING ASSISTIVE ORTHOSIS ON BALANCE AND JOINT SENSE IN GERIATRIC PATIENTS

Sponsor: Seoul National University Hospital

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

This study investigates the effects of a proprioception-enhancing assistive orthosis on balance and joint sense in geriatric patients with age-related diseases. The study uses wearable devices that deliver vibration stimuli to improve proprioceptive feedback. A total of 20 participants will be enrolled in a 24-month, IRB-approved trial at Seoul National University Hospital. The study assesses functional balance and joint position sense before and after using the device.

DEVICE

proprioception-enhancing assistive orthosis

A wearable device that provides mechanical vibration to the tendons around the knee and ankle to enhance proprioceptive feedback. Vibration intensity and timing are controlled automatically based on body tilt measured by an IMU sensor. The device is applied during balance and joint sense assessments conducted across three visits.
