From the Emory website:
We are now recruiting for Group D (3 patients). Patients participating in this group will have difficulty walking, but be able to walk without the assistance of another person and have good breathing function. The selection criteria for participants for group D is listed below.
Please understand this is only a partial list of the eligibility criteria. If you do not meet the following criteria, you will not be considered for enrollment. Due to the complexity of this study, priority will be given to current patients of the Emory ALS Center. Only people who live close to Atlanta will be considered.
Group D (up to 3 patients)
Eligibility Criteria:
1) Confirmed diagnosis of ALS by a neurologist
2) Vital capacity greater than 60% of predicted value seated; greater than 50% measured flat on your back
3) Difficulty walking due to ALS
4) Lack of complicating medical conditions
5) Live in geographic proximity to Emory University Hospital
6) Ability to communicate vocally or with low-tech tools (writing or letter board)
