Walking with robotic exoskeletons to improve arousal
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using a robotic exoskeleton to help people walk can improve alertness and responsiveness in patients with disorders of consciousness during inpatient rehabilitation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are currently staying in a rehabilitation hospital for inpatient care.
- You have a disorder of consciousness, such as a coma or vegetative state.
- You are able to participate in walking therapy with a robotic device.

This study tests whether walking with a robotic exoskeleton (a device that helps support and move the legs) can improve responsiveness in people with disorders of consciousness. Participation involves using the device during rehabilitation in the hospital.
This trial uses a mobile brain and body imaging system to help improve walking with a robotic exoskeleton in people who have had a stroke. It could help you walk better during overground gait training.
This trial tests whether early, robot-assisted walking training can help people recovering from a stroke improve their ability to walk. It uses a wearable robotic exoskeleton to support your body and guide your legs during practice.
This trial studies whether assisted walking training with an exoskeleton can improve recovery after stroke, especially for walking and daily function. You may be offered therapy once you are medically stable, able to stand, and able to participate safely.
This study tests whether a special visual training program before using a walking robot can improve walking recovery in people who have had a stroke or similar brain injury within the last 6 months and have trouble sensing their affected side. If you join, you might get this extra visual practice to help your brain relearn movement.
This study tests a wearable robotic leg brace that helps people with leg weakness practice walking. It aims to see if using the robot improves strength and movement for people recovering from stroke, spinal cord injury, or joint replacement surgery.
