Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Evaluation of the increase of the driving speed after apparatus by Walkaide® medical device in deficits levator foot of central origin.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Device: WALKAIDE
Phase 1/Phase 2

Detailed Description

Evaluation of the increase of the driving speed after apparatus by Walkaide® medical device in deficits levator foot of central origin.

The main objective is the study of changes in walking speed on the 6-minute walk test between the initial walk without orthotic and walking with orthotic Walkaide® medical devie after one month of training.

This is a prospective multicenter study, without control group, qualified as a biomedical research.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: WALKAIDE

A clinical evaluation will be conducted at T0 with achievement of the following tests without orthosis and with the usual orthosis if applicable: he will be made a stimulation test of common peroneal nerve and settings Walkaide® device. Subjects will be reconvened at T1, one to four weeks after the initial assessment to ensure the stability of walking speed. We will perform the following tests without orthosis and with the usual orthosis if applicable. The final evaluation (T2) will be 28 days after the start of the port of the device.
