Summary

This is a single site, mixed methods, feasibility study of the ViBandz device at a Midwest pediatric tertiary care hospital in a physical and occupational therapy clinic.

Detailed description

This proposal is for a single-site, feasibility study of the use of ViBandz in a treatment population. The analysis is a mixed methods approach with quantitative feedback on surveys and a secondary qualitative review of audio/+/- video that was obtained during the device use. The survey will be done immediately after the study on a device in clinic by the parents. If parents do not have time to finish it then, an email will be sent. Video and audio during the visit will provide additional rich data to understand the device beyond what a standard quantitative survey could provide. Subjects will have their standard clinical care- targeted vibration and then after their visit is completed, they will complete the use of the ViBandz This order will occur with all participants.

Conditions

• Pediatrics
• Neurologic Dysfunction
• Vibration Therapy

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	ViBandz	ViBandz is a device with straps and small vibrating motors that can be worn over muscles for stimulation and targeted vibration therapy. It was created to address the need for a hands-free vibrating device. There are different motor sizes and strap sizes for best fit with the patient. ViBandz also features a base station for powering the device and a key fob used to control the vibration therapy. Once all appropriate signatures have been obtained and all family/subject questions have been addressed, the subject will undergo their scheduled standard clinical Care (SOC) visit. The time with the ViBandz (10-15 minutes) will be less than full traditional targeted therapy (45 minutes) will help to control for subject fatigue as the vibration feeling stimulates muscles.: Video recordings via an iPad or similar device may be obtained during the subject's visit. These videos will allow for a closer inspection of subject interaction with the ViBandz.
