Clinical Trial: MyoSense- Automated Muscle Hypertonicity Classification System

Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Observational

Official Title: MyoSense- Automated Muscle Hypertonicity Classification System

Brief Summary: It is often difficult to quantify and distinguish aspects of abnormal muscle tone due to neurological injury. This makes it difficult to evaluate therapies that aim to reduce the effects of abnormal muscle tone. This research study will evaluate the feasibility of a clinician worn device to capture and quantify features of spasticity and dystonia.

Sponsor: Great Lakes NeuroTechnologies Inc.

Current Primary Outcome: Correlation between clinician and device measured abnormal tone type. [ Time Frame: For each subject clinician and device data will be collected within a single session. Each session will occur over a maximum of two hours. Analysis of all of the subject data will be completed within 30 days of study completion. ]

Device measurements of clinician applied force relative to limb manipulation speed will be compared to conventional clinical outcome measures. For example, correlation between the slope of the force to speed profile and clinician evaluated spasticity, Ashworth score, will be calculated.


Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome:
