What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early This study
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tested a personalized walking and balance training program using a KineAssist robotic treadmill for people recovering from traumatic brain injury, stroke, or other acquired brain injuries. The goal was to safely challenge and improve walking speed, balance, strength, and endurance. Only 5 participants were enrolled before the study was terminated, so the results are not conclusive.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
KineAssist robotic treadmill
What this could lead to
If successful, this program could offer a new way to help people with brain injuries improve their walking and balance during rehab.
What could go wrong
The trial was terminated early with only 5 participants, so results are very limited. It is unclear if the program works better than standard care.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adults ages 18 years and older * All demographic groups will be invited to participate and would have equal access * Post-TBI individuals currently enrolled at the Moody Neurorehabilitation Institute * Ambulatory with or without assistive devices * Subjects with expressive aphasia in the case of a caregiver able to provide assistance when needed * English-speaking or have a certified interpreter that is English-speaking who will be present for interpretation during the study * Medically stable (controlled hypertension, no arrhythmia, stable cardiovascular status) * Able to provide written informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Subjects with loss of lower limb * History of serious cardiac disease (e.g., myocardial infarction) * Uncontrolled blood pressure (systolic pressure \>140 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure \>90 mmHg) * Subjects with receptive aphasia * Presence of cerebellar and brainstem deficits * Severe cognitive disorder * Uncontrolled respiratory or metabolic disorders * Major or acute musculoskeletal problems * Spasticity management that included phenol block injections within 12 months or botulinum toxin injections within 4 months of the study * Body weight greater than 250 pounds (due to robotic device weight restrictions)
