Introduction

This video discusses a pilot study using Cionic's Neural Sleeve to improve mobility in individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS). The study compares walking with the sleeve (at home and in the lab) versus walking without it.

Key Takeaways

• The study involves participants with MS who are able to walk with or without assistance for up to 15 minutes, 5 days a week.
• Participants wear the neural sleeve for six weeks at home, then six weeks without, or vice versa.
• The primary outcome measures focus on gait function, including speed and lower limb movement analysis. Data is provided to participants if desired.
• Three in-person visits are required for assessments, each lasting 1.5-2 hours, with $50 compensation per visit and parking covered. Travel expenses are the participant's responsibility.
• Initial results are encouraging, with participants generally finding the sleeve easy to integrate into their daily lives and offering better customizability than other devices.
