Clinical Evaluation of a Wheelchair Mounted Robotic Arm Clinical Trials Info presented on Clinical Trials Search isn't intended to be a substitute for certified health advice, travels to or treatment by using a genuine physician. We are not physicians. Always consult your dr. on Clinical Evaluation of a Wheelchair Mounted Robotic Arm conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a site committed to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Clinical Evaluation of a Wheelchair Mounted Robotic Arm Clinical research trials and Clinical Evaluation of a Wheelchair Mounted Robotic Arm health trials occur in hundreds of cities throughout the U.S.A.. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials typically assess the effectivity of new drugs. The propose of the studies / undertakings is to resolve certain human health questions. Clinical trials are a popular means for physicians, government agencies, and private sector companies to locate treatments for all sorts of conditions, including Clinical Evaluation of a Wheelchair Mounted Robotic Arm. Clinical Evaluation of a Wheelchair Mounted Robotic Arm Clinical Trials and other clinical trials permit volunteers to acquire medical treatment choices before they are available to the masses. Some times the test subjects obtain professional assistance for free, and every now and again they are compensated for their time. Sometimes there is a cost for a Clinical Evaluation of a Wheelchair Mounted Robotic Arm clinical trial. Participants oftentimes recieve the most expert healthcare available for their Clinical Evaluation of a Wheelchair Mounted Robotic Arm condition. Hazards are a reality, however, and can include extra or frequent physician visits, health risks (potentially life-endangering), and/or the treatment being uneffective. Trials are federally governed with rigorous guidelines to protect clinical trials subjects.

Clinical Evaluation of a Wheelchair Mounted Robotic Arm



Clinical Evaluation of a Wheelchair Mounted Robotic Arm

For Condition: Spinal Cord Injury
Status: No longer recruiting
Sponsor(s): Department of Veterans Affairs ,
Synopsis: The primary purpose of this project, is to evaluate the effect of a wheelchair mounted robotic arm (WMRA) to improve the functional independence of veterans with SCI. The study will determine if the ability to perform marker tasks within the following four categories is improved after the 4 week training period using the robotic arm: 1. activities of daily living, 2. vocational tasks, 3. advanced tasks, and subject-specific tasks.
Details: The primary purpose of this project, is to evaluate the effect of a wheelchair mounted robotic arm (WMRA) to improve the functional independence of veterans with SCI. The study will determine if the ability to perform marker tasks within the following four categories is improved after the 4 week training period using the robotic arm: 1. activities of daily living, 2. vocational tasks, 3. advanced tasks, and subject-specific tasks. The secondary purposes of this project are the following: 1.Does quality of life (life satisfaction and health status) improve after a 4 week period of using the WMRA? 2. What are the perceived advantages of the WMRA to the veteran with SCI? Additionally, the study will evaluate the following: 1) ease of installation and usefulness of instructional manuals; 2) training requirements (time, tasks); 3) safety features; 4) reliability of the device; 5) home, community, and vocational applications; 6) user acceptability; 7) maintenance/ service; 8) portability; and possible modifications.
