Study on Improving Trunk Control in Spinal Cord Injury Patients Using Hunova4 Device Combined With Standard Rehabilitation

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are studying trunk control improvement in patients with Spinal Cord Injury SCI, where balance and posture are impaired, affecting daily activities. This research evaluates the effects of adding robotic rehabilitation using the Hunovaae device to standard rehabilitation. The goal is to find the better rehab plan in terms of the number of Hunovaae sessions and to compare objective device data with clinical scales for trunk control. Participants receive either standard rehabilitation alone or combined with Hunovaae training. Standard rehab includes physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and sports rehabilitation for 3 hours per day, 5 days a week. The Hunovaae rehab is done in a dedicated gym for 1 hour daily, 5 days a week, with 10 or 20 sessions over 4 weeks. The Hunovaae seat tilting is adjusted based on patient progress. During the study, trunk control and equilibrium are assessed at baseline, 2 weeks, and 4 weeks using the Hunovaae output data and clinical scales. Muscle activity and patient satisfaction are also measured. The study tracks correlations between trunk control and functional abilities, quality of life, and treatment tolerability. Participation lasts approximately 4 weeks with regular evaluations to monitor progress and safety.
