Clinical Evaluation of a Wheelchair Mounted Robotic Arm Clinical Trials Data presented on Clinical Trials Search is not meant to be a substitute for qualified health advice, visits or treatment with a real mD. We are not doctors. Always consult your doctor about Clinical Evaluation of a Wheelchair Mounted Robotic Arm conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a site devoted to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Clinical Evaluation of a Wheelchair Mounted Robotic Arm Clinical research trials and Clinical Evaluation of a Wheelchair Mounted Robotic Arm healthcare trials happen in many of places across the United States. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials generally assess the effectivity of new drugs. The purpose of the studies / projects is to solve particular human medical questions. Clinical trials are a popular way for doctors, government agencies, and private sector companies to discover cures for all varieties of conditions, such as Clinical Evaluation of a Wheelchair Mounted Robotic Arm. Clinical Evaluation of a Wheelchair Mounted Robotic Arm Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow volunteers to have health treatment alternatives before they are available to the masses. Some times the human subjects obtain treatment for without cost, and sometimes they are compensated for their time. Occasionally there is a cost for a Clinical Evaluation of a Wheelchair Mounted Robotic Arm clinical trial. Test subjects oftentimes receive the most effective healthcare possible for their Clinical Evaluation of a Wheelchair Mounted Robotic Arm condition. Dangers are a reality, however, and may include extra or frequent physician visits, healthcare dangers (possibly life-jeopardising), and/or the treatment being uneffective. Trials are federally governed with rigorous guidelines to protect clinical trials patients.

Clinical Evaluation of a Wheelchair Mounted Robotic Arm
For Condition: Spinal Cord Injury
Status: No longer recruiting
Sponsor(s): Department of Veterans Affairs ,
Synopsis: The primary purpose of this project, is to evaluate the effect of a wheelchair mounted robotic arm (WMRA) to improve the functional independence of veterans with SCI. The study will determine if the ability to perform marker tasks within the following four categories is improved after the 4 week training period using the robotic arm: 1. activities of daily living, 2. vocational tasks, 3. advanced tasks, and subject-specific tasks.
Details: The primary purpose of this project, is to evaluate the effect of a wheelchair mounted robotic arm (WMRA) to improve the functional independence of veterans with SCI. The study will determine if the ability to perform marker tasks within the following four categories is improved after the 4 week training period using the robotic arm: 1. activities of daily living, 2. vocational tasks, 3. advanced tasks, and subject-specific tasks. The secondary purposes of this project are the following: 1.Does quality of life (life satisfaction and health status) improve after a 4 week period of using the WMRA? 2. What are the perceived advantages of the WMRA to the veteran with SCI? Additionally, the study will evaluate the following: 1) ease of installation and usefulness of instructional manuals; 2) training requirements (time, tasks); 3) safety features; 4) reliability of the device; 5) home, community, and vocational applications; 6) user acceptability; 7) maintenance/ service; 8) portability; and possible modifications.
