Hybrid Assistive Limb Effect on Jump Height: a Clinical Study

NCT ID: NCT06695728

Last Updated: 2025-02-25

Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: COMPLETED
• Clinical Phase: NA
• Total Enrollment: 30 participants
• Study Classification: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Start Date: 2024-11-19
• Study Completion Date: 2025-02-23

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of exercises performed with The Hybrid Assistive Limb device on the jump height of healthy non-athlete individuals.

Detailed Description

Cyberdyne Waist Type device will be worn by attaching 3 electrodes to the waist area and then attaching the device to the waist and legs with the help of belts. Then, the appropriate modes will be selected for the participant with the adjustments made on the device. It has 3 modes; CVC, the mode that produces torque value, that is, movement, according to muscle activation with only the bioelectric signals received from the person's skin. CAC, the mode that produces movement by presenting automatic values to the participant with data designed according to the specific software and algorithm of the device. CIC, the mode that produces movement completely according to the participant's control. In our study, investigators will produce movement according to the muscle activation created by the participant using the CVC mode. In this way, investigators will provide the brain-muscle relationship and motor learning parameters. The exercises will be applied for 30 minutes, 5 days a week, for a total of 40 sessions.
