Leg stretching with an on-demand exoskeleton for spasticity
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a wearable exoskeleton that helps with leg stretching can reduce stiffness and improve movement in people with spasticity after a spinal cord injury. It may help you stretch more safely and comfortably, but you must meet specific health and device-wear requirements.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re a veteran with spasticity caused by a spinal cord injury (SCI)
- Your SCI happened at least 6 months ago and your condition is stable
- You can understand the study, give consent, and wear the device and sensors
- You don’t have another neurological condition besides SCI
- You’re not pregnant, and you weigh 300 pounds (136 kg) or more

This study looks at how using a wearable robotic exoskeleton in your home and community affects your health and finances. If eligible, you would use the device with a trained support person to see if it helps with daily mobility.
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 intensive physiotherapy with a robotic exoskeleton helps people with spinal cord injuries improve movement and function. The robot supports your legs while you practice walking, aiming to boost recovery.
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 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.
