The Efficacy and Safety of a New Power Exoskeleton Robot for Improving Walking Ability in Spinal Cord Injury Patients

About this trial

This trial is enrolling individuals with spinal cord injuries to test the safety and feasibility of an externally worn powered robotic exoskeleton (FREE Walk) to assist movement. Participants will perform gait (walking) training sessions consisting of standing-up, sitting-down, stepping forward, and walking longer distances. Participants will learn how to independently use the exoskeleton to perform functional activities. Exoskeleton training will be provided at 20 or more one-hour sessions 2 to 5 times a week. Participants will receive a post-training evaluation, including timed up-and-go test, 10-meter walk test, and 6-minute walk test.
