Home-Based Leg Dexterity Trainer for Management of Knee Osteoarthritis
NCT07397806 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Rationale: Roughly 14 million adults aged 60 or older (10% male/13% female) in the United States experience symptoms of knee osteoarthritis (OA). Knee OA pain progressively impacts aging, reducing mobility and increasing morbidity. Nonsurgical self-management of knee OA includes exercise to promote proper knee mechanics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), cortisone injections, and weight loss to reduce pain and retain function. As OA has no cure, self-management progresses to \~1 million joint replacements per year. Critically, home-based devices are lacking for specifically training the low-level proprioceptive and neuromuscular circuitry for proper knee mechanics in a safe, focused, mechanistic way. Such devices would supplement exercises for strength, mobility, and whole-body loading and movement. Initially considered a wear-and-tear condition, knee OA is now understood as a complex disease involving inflammatory responses to mechanical loading and neuromuscular feedback loops among pain, joint damage, and dynamic loading. Home-based exercises remain a primary nonpharmacological and nonsurgical approach to managing chronic pain in OA that fundamentally disrupts proprioception and neuromuscular control of the joint, which accelerates articular degeneration. Neuromuscular Dynamics, LLC has developed a simple, safe, quick, and effective Leg Dexterity System that is portable, wireless, and coupled to HIPAA-compliant cloud analytics. A seated participant uses their foot to compress a platform atop a slender spring, which becomes unstable as it begins to buckle at low forces. The participant must then control their leg dexterity (i.e., via short-latency sensorimotor circuits) to stabilize the unstable dynamic foot-ground interactions. A tablet computer connected to the device provides feedback during use and uploads the participant's activity data to the server for analysis and reporting, accessible to users and clinicians. The investigators have succe

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT07397806
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT07397806 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 82 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Steadman Philippon Research Institute, which has 5 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Osteo Arthritis of the Knee appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Lex Dexterity Trainer is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT07397806 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Colorado. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
