An interventional study of Wearable Hip Assist Robot(EX1) and Exercise Program 1 in Aging, sponsored by Samsung Medical Center. Completed at 1 site in Korea, Republic of. Open to participants aged 19 Years to 65 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-02-29.
Sponsored by Samsung Medical Center · Not applicable, Interventional, and Health services research
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a long-term exercise program using a wearable exoskeleton robot (EX1) on muscular strength in healthy adults aged 19 to under 65 years, compared to an exercise program without EX1.
Samsung Medical Center is the lead sponsor of 980 studies on the registry; 146 are open to participants now.
Of its 7 completed or terminated interventional studies of FDA-regulated products, 1 (14%) have results posted.

Exclusion Criteria:
Exercise consists of 30 minutes of overground walking.
Device: Without Wearable Hip Assist Robot(EX1)
Exercise program 1 consists of 30 minutes of overground walking.
Device: Wearable Hip Assist Robot(EX1) · Behavioral: Exercise Program 1
Exercise program 2 consists of 30 minutes of overground walking.
Device: Wearable Hip Assist Robot(EX1) · Behavioral: Exercise Program 2
EX1 is a hip-type assist device developed by Samsung Electronics.
Exercise program 1 for fast walking by applying resistance and assist mode of EX1
Exercise program 2 for normal walking by applying resistance and assist mode of EX1
Overground walking without EX1
Change on gait function (muscle activation)
All subjects perform overground walking to assess the change of muscle activation after the interventions using a surface EMG (6 channels).
Time frame: Session 0 (initial visit); after session 18 (at approximately 6 weeks)
Change in heart rate
All subjects are measured for heart rate during the intervention.
Time frame: Every session (total 18 sessions/ 30 minutes)
Reduction in stress level
We evaluate the subject's usual stress level through a questionnaire. The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) is a 10-item questionnaire originally developed by Cohen et al. (1983) widely used to assess stress levels in young people and adults. The questions ask about feelings and thoughts during the last month. In each case, respondents are asked how often they felt a certain way on a five-point scale from 'never' to 'very often'. Answers are then scored as follow: Never = 0; Almost never = 1; Sometimes = 2; Fairly often = 3; Very often = 4. The PSS score is then obtained by summing across all items. Higher scores indicate higher levels of perceived stress.
Time frame: Session 0 (initial visit); after session 18 (at approximately 6 weeks)
Reduction in body fat percentage
All subjects are measured for body fat before and after the intervention.
Time frame: Session 0 (initial visit); after session 18 (at approximately 6 weeks)
User Satisfaction Questionnaire
We evaluate the satisfaction questionnaire for EX1 use and exercise program.
Time frame: After session 18 (at approximately 6 weeks)
Change on gait function (kinematic)
All subjects perform overground walking to assess the change of kinematic using a motion analysis.
Time frame: Session 0 (initial visit); after session 18 (at approximately 6 weeks)
