Exoskeleton and spinal stimulation for long-term spinal cord injury
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether an external walking-assist device (an exoskeleton) plus targeted spinal cord stimulation can help people with long-term spinal cord injury. It may be designed for wheelchair users who meet specific nerve function and bone health requirements.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a spinal cord injury and it has been more than 6 years since the injury
- You are 18 to 65 years old
- Your nerve function tests show a lower-leg motor score of 16 or higher
- Your spinal cord injury level is between C5 and T10 (in the upper-to-mid back area)
- You use a wheelchair 100% of the time (not a walker)

This study tests whether using a powered walking exoskeleton together with a mild spinal cord stimulation device can improve muscle and bone strength in people with long-term spinal cord injuries. If you qualify, you'd use the exoskeleton during therapy sessions while researchers watch for changes in your leg muscles and bones.
This trial will test a self-balancing personal exoskeleton for people with spinal cord injuries. It may help you walk again and improve your mobility.
This study tests whether combining spinal cord stimulation with an exoskeleton can help people with chronic spinal cord injury walk better. It aims to improve mobility and may lead to new rehabilitation options.
This trial tests a wearable robot (exoskeleton) that helps people with spinal cord injuries walk at home. If you have a chronic injury and a helper, you may be able to join.
This trial tests whether adding spinal cord stimulation to walking practice can improve leg movement and recovery after a recent spinal cord injury. It may help you regain more strength and function in your legs.
This trial tests a self-balancing exoskeleton (a wearable robotic device) to help people with spinal cord injury stand and walk. It is for people with injury at or above T6, at least 6 months past injury, and a caregiver who can help during the study visits.
