Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this randomized, controlled study is to collect performance data on the ability of an investigational device designed to digitally deliver Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation to improve walking speed in people who suffered a stroke greater than six (6) months in the past and who are limited in mobility outside the home. The primary outcomes will be the mean change in walking speed (meters per second) and mean percent change in walking speed as determined by a 10-meter Walk Test after five weeks of intervention and compared between groups.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Study participants who take part in this research study will participate in a screening visit, fifteen (15) intervention visits over approximately five weeks and a final closing visit. Study participants will be assigned by chance to one of the two study groups. Participants will not be able to switch groups once they are assigned. The investigational device includes a mobile device app and sensors that are attached to shoes. Headphones and a mobile device are also required to be used and will be provided in this study.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Investigational Device

Will walk for 30 minutes at a time, 3 times a week, for 5 weeks using the investigational device.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

MR-001

Intervention Type DEVICE

Participants will walk using the investigational device (foot sensors, mobile device with mobile app and headphones) for thirty (30) minutes at a time, 3 times a week for 5 weeks.

Active Walking Control

Will walk for 30 minutes at a time, 3 times a week, for 5 weeks using only foot sensors.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Active Walking

Intervention Type OTHER

Participants will walk for thirty (30) minutes at a time, 3 times a week for 5 weeks. No mobile devices, music players or headphones will be allowed. They will wear foot sensors during their active walking sessions to measure gait biomechanics.
