Evaluation of a Portable Isokinetic Knee Training Device for Quadriceps Rehabilitation in Children With SMA
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Device
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the long-term effects of isokinetic rehabilitation training in patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). The main question it aims to answer is: • Does isokinetic training at fixed angular velocity improve muscle strength and functional recovery in SMA patients? Participants will: * Perform isokinetic training using a portable device with a fixed angular velocity. * Undergo long-term rehabilitation sessions, with assessments of muscle strength and overall functional improvement over the training period.

Estimated Completion Date: 2025-08-30
Participants
Target number of participants: 13
Treatments
Experimental: Robot-assisted Rehabilitation for children with SMA type II
No_intervention: Non-robot-assisted Rehabilitation for children with SMA type II
Prior to the intervention, all participants will complete a 1.5-month Stage 0 observation period with no robot assistance. During this time, we will record each child's sit-to-stand angle to establish baseline (control) measurements.
No_intervention: Biomechanical measures for healthy children
A single set of biomechanical measurements will be taken from healthy children to serve as a reference baseline.
