The Cionic Neural Sleeve¹ is a wearable neuroprosthetic that delivers stimulation to the four major muscle groups of the leg. The assistive technology was deemed safe and usable for impacted populations in a supervised and simulated home environment, evaluated for post market medical device surveillance, and has addressed gait deviations.

This is a preclinical investigation to assess the usability of the device for the peripheral neuropathy population.

You may be able to participate if you…

Have been diagnosed with diabetic peripheral neuropathy

Are an adult between the ages of 22 and 75

Live in Southern California (Los Angeles, Orange County, Inland Empire, San Diego) or Northern California (Bay Area)

Own a smart phone (iPhone or Android preferred)

You are not able to join if you…

Demand-type cardiac pacemakers

Uncontrolled seizures

You will visit a member of the study staff to collect survey responses and physical assessments. The physical assessments will test knee and ankle reflexes, feet sensation, edema, balance, and postural stability. You will receive stimulation from the Cionic Neural Sleeve to your most impacted leg for walking. Physical assessments will be repeated. Each visit may take up to 2 hours in duration.

Your participation in this trial may take at least 1 visit.
