  • MyokinE100 System: Closed Loop Electrical Muscle Stimulation To Mitigate ICU Acquired Weakness In Medical ICU Patients Rochester, MN

    The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a new medical device that sends electrical signals to the thigh muscles is safe and easy to use for people in the ICU (Intensive Care Unit) who are at risk of losing muscle strength. It will also explore whether this treatment can help slow down muscle weakening.

    The main questions this study aims to answer are:

    * Do participants develop medical problems when receiving electrical muscle stimulation in the ICU?
    * Is electrical muscle stimulation a practical way to help reduce muscle weakness in critically ill patients?

    Researchers will compare the control group (standard ...

  • A Study to Evaluate Mobility and Therapeutic Benefits Resulting from Exoskeleton Use in a Clinical Setting Rochester, MN

    The proposed study is intended to inform the hypotheses that (1) regular dosing of exoskeleton walking will provide health benefits to non-ambulatory and poorly-ambulatory individuals with SCI, including decreased pain and spasticity, improvements in bowel and bladder function, decreased body-mass index (BMI), enhanced well-being; (2) regular dosing of exoskeleton walking will facilitate neurological or functional recovery in some individuals with SCI, particularly those with incomplete injuries; and (3) the level of mobility enabled by a lower limb exoskeleton is commensurate with the walking speeds, distances, and surfaces required for community ambulation.
