An interventional study of 4-roll canne in Stroke, sponsored by University Hospital of Mont-Godinne. Completed at 1 site in Belgium. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 90 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2019-10-25.
Sponsored by University Hospital of Mont-Godinne · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
Stroke patients frequently necessitate walking aids such as 4-point canne. However, the 4-point canne has to be lifted by the patient which limited gait speed. The adjunction of small wheel below the 4 point of the canne (4-roll) gives the possibility to the patient to walk without having to lift the canne as it will roll over the ground.
The aim of our study is to compare gait parameters (gait speed and energy cost) with a classical 4-point canne and with 4-roll canne.

OBJECTIVE To compare the gait parameters with a 4-point canne and with a 4-roll canne METHODS The investigators will recruited stroke patients who necessitate 4 point-canne as walking aids. A 10 meters walking test, a 6 minutes walking test, an estimated energy cost and a patient's satisfaction will be monitored with a 4-point canne (day 1) and with a 4-roll canne (day 2) in a cross-over study. The first tested device will be randomized.
PERSPECTIVE The investigators hope to demonstrate that a 4-roll canne makes possible to walk faster in a safe way after stroke
