About this trial

This trial is enrolling 10 individuals with chronic spinal cord injuries to test the feasibility and usability of the ABLE Exoskeleton for walking in the home or community environment. The ABLE Exoskeleton is a lightweight, externally worn powered robotic device to assist lower limb movement and ambulation. If included, participants will undergo a training program 3 to 5 times a week, for up to 8 weeks, for a total of 18 training sessions and 4 assessment sessions. Final testing of walking ability and other skills assessments will be performed after 11 weeks.
