About this trial

This trial is enrolling 6 participants with spinal cord injury to test the effect on walking function of two types of wearable lower-limb exoskeletons, a self-balancing device (Wandercraft Atalante X) and a user-balancing device (Ekso Indego Therapy). An exoskeleton is an externally worn powered robotic device to assist movement. If included, participants will complete 5 walking sessions and 2 test sessions with two exoskeleton devices, in random order. Final testing of walking function will be performed after 1 year.
